Subject: [PATCH] genericarm64: add qemuboot configuration
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 16:50:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240322165009.3704771-1-ross.burton@arm.com> (raw)
From: Ross Burton <ross.burton@arm.com>
A basic SystemReady IR system can be provided by qemu-system-aarch64
and u-boot, so tell u-boot to build the qemu_arm64 machine and configure
qemuboot to start that u-boot and search the virtio-attached wic image
for the EFI boot partition.
Currently this machine support emulated (Cortex-A76) and virtualised (KVM)
execution, and virtio storage/network/console. Display support will be
added shortly.
Note that this machine still doesn't build U-Boot by default, as a u-boot
binary for qemu in deploy would potentially confuse users who want to
boot on real hardware and think this u-boot is needed. If you wish to
use genericarm64 with runqemu, you'll need to manually bitbake u-boot.
