For the Aarch64, there is one machine 'virt', it is primarily meant to run on KVM and execute virtualization workloads, but we need an environment as faithful as possible to physical hardware, to support firmware and OS development for pysical Aarch64 machines.
See the patch commit comments for the features description. V4 changes: - rebased to v3.0.0 - removed timer, uart, rtc, *hci device tree nodes (others were removerd in v3) - other minore codes clean up, mainly unsed header files, comments etc. V3 changes: - rename the platform 'sbsa-ref' - move all the codes to a separate file sbsa-ref.c - remove paravirtualized fw_cfg device - do not supply ACPI tables, since firmware will do it - supply only necessary DT nodes - and other minor code clean up Well, there are still pending issues, you can find my whole tree here: http://git.linaro.org/people/hongbo.zhang/qemu-enterprise.git/log/?h=sbsa-v3.0.0 workaround: add fw_cfg, smbios and acpi workaround: add device tree nodes back hw/arm: Add arm SBSA reference machine Revert "target/arm: Implement new do_transaction_failed hook" Revert "device_tree: Increase FDT_MAX_SIZE to 1 MiB" there are two commit reverts I have to do to boot system currently, these block not only my new 'sbsa-ref', but also the 'virt'. (other two workarounds can be ignored, they are just for temp using before firmware porting is fully finished) I am not saying the comments themselves have problem, maybe firmware need to be adapted accordingly too. But before they are fixed, I just simply revert them to not block my run. (And, I've mentioned in v3 list that there are still problem of booting SMP too, but I won't mention it here this time, otherwise this patch/cover letter becomes too complicated -- at least we can boot one core, I can fix/discuss it later separately.) Steps to reproduce issues: 1. Compile ARMTF make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=qemu all DEBUG=1 2. Compile edk2 make -C BaseTools . edksetup.sh export GCC49_AARCH64_PREFIX=aarch64-linux-gnu- build -a AARCH64 -t GCC49 -p ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtQemuKernel.dsc 3. Run QEMU 3a. copy or link ARMTF and edk2 images to the directory where you want to launch QEMU bl1.bin -> /home/hongbo/work/arm-trusted-firmware/build/qemu/debug/bl1.bin* bl2.bin -> /home/hongbo/work/arm-trusted-firmware/build/qemu/debug/bl2.bin* bl31.bin -> /home/hongbo/work/arm-trusted-firmware/build/qemu/debug/bl31.bin* bl33.bin -> /home/hongbo/work/edk2/Build/ArmVirtQemuKernel-AARCH64/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/QEMU_EFI.fd 3b. command to launch QEMU command1 to load a whole system qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,secure=on,virtualization=on -cpu cortex-a57 -m 1024 -bios bl1.bin -semihosting -serial stdio -device virtio-scsi-device,id=scsi -drive file=../qemu-imgs/deb9_arm64_netinst_uefi.raw,id=rootimg,if=none -device scsi-hd,drive=rootimg -netdev user,id=unet -device virtio-net-device,netdev=unet -net user or command2 simply load a kernel qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,secure=on,virtualization=on -cpu cortex-a57 -m 1024 -bios bl1.bin -semihosting -serial stdio -kernel Image -initrd xxx -append "root=/dev/xxx console=ttyAMA0" 4a. system halt with error message ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Not Found) ASSERT [ResetSystemRuntimeDxe] /home/hongbo/work/edk2/Build/ArmVirtQemuKernel-AARCH64/DEBUG_GCC49/AARCH64/MdeModulePkg/Universal/ResetSystemRuntimeDxe/ResetSystemRuntimeDxe/DEBUG/AutoGen.c(370): !EFI_ERROR (Status) 4b.
