Hi Baptiste,

You are correct, the SIMULATION flags currently don't have effect in the CAmkES 
VM project (will look into fixing).


In order to simulate the CAmkES VM I would recommend using KVM. This is due to 
the VM project relying on hardware virtualization features (e.g VT-x). The 
following command should boot the optiplex example in QEMU:


sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35,accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split -cpu 
Haswell,+vme,+pdpe1gb,enforce,+vmx -nographic -serial mon:stdio -m size=2G 
-enable-kvm -device intel-iommu,intremap=off -kernel images/kernel-x86_64-pc99 
-initrd images/capdl-loader-image-x86_64-pc99


In addition, you may need to make sure your KVM driver has nested 
virtualization enabled 
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM#Nested_virtualization).


Regards,

Adam

Thanks for the quick answers!

Indeed, the error messages were not an issue. I was able to build some VMs and 
initrd, but I'm not sure how to launch them... E.g., when I build the 
optiplex9020 VM:
$ ../init-build.sh -DCAMKES_VM_APP=optiplex9020 -DPLATFORM=x86_64 
-DSIMULATION=TRUE -DSIMULATE=1
$ ninja
$ qemu-system-x86_64  -cpu 
Nehalem,-vme,+pdpe1gb,+xsave,-xsaveopt,-xsavec,+fsgsbase,-invpcid,enforce 
-nographic -serial mon:stdio -m size=512M  -kernel images/kernel-x86_64-pc99 
-initrd images/capdl-loader-image-x86_64-pc99

I get the following error:
"Requested feature mask is 0x3, but only 0x0 supported
seL4 called fail at 
/home/blepers/git.clone/sel4vm/kernel/src/arch/x86/kernel/boot_sys.c:785 in 
function boot_sys, saying "boot_sys failed for some reason :("

Any idea why?

(The SIMULATION and SIMULATE flags do not seem to have an effect, I just added 
them because in some projects that seem to create a "simulate" file with the 
right qemu parameters. I'm not sure what's the right way to create an image 
that runs in qemu here.)


Thanks,
Baptiste.

Hi Baptiste,


Aside from running a Linux guest, we do not currently have a native shell. The 
x86 VM should work though.


Cheers

Anna.

Subject: [seL4] Does seL4 provide an initrd with a shell?

I have been following the instructions "Fetching, Configuring and Building 
seL4test" on this page https://docs.sel4.systems/GettingStarted.html. 
Everything seems to work, but the initrd provided only runs a bunch of tests 
and then exits. Is there another project that provides a shell or a way for me 
to launch my own programs?

I have tried to follow the instructions on these pages 
https://docs.sel4.systems/Hardware/Qemu/ and https://docs.sel4.systems/CAmkESVM 
but the repo init command fails (404).

Thanks,
Baptiste.
