This series adds the support to boot S-mode FW like EDK2 from the flash. The S-mode firmware should be kept in pflash unit 1.
When -kernel (and -initrd) option is also provided along with the flash, the kernel (and initrd) will be loaded into fw_cfg table and opensbi will branch to the flash address which will be the entry point of the S-mode firmware. The S-mode FW then loads and launches the kernel. When only -pflash option is provided in the command line, the kernel will be located and loaded in the usual way by the S-mode firmware. These patches are available in below branch. https://github.com/vlsunil/qemu/tree/pflash_v2 The first two patches in this series are refactor patches. These changes are tested with a WIP EDK2 port for virt machine. Below are the instructions to build and test this feature. 1) Get EDK2 sources from below branches. https://github.com/vlsunil/edk2/tree/virt_refactor_smode_v1 https://github.com/vlsunil/edk2-platforms/tree/virt_refactor_smode_v1 2) Build EDK2 for RISC-V export WORKSPACE=`pwd` export GCC5_RISCV64_PREFIX=riscv64-linux-gnu- export PACKAGES_PATH=$WORKSPACE/edk2:$WORKSPACE/edk2-platforms export EDK_TOOLS_PATH=$WORKSPACE/edk2/BaseTools source edk2/edksetup.sh make -C edk2/BaseTools clean make -C edk2/BaseTools make -C edk2/BaseTools/Source/C source edk2/edksetup.sh BaseTools build -a RISCV64 -p Platform/Qemu/RiscVVirt/RiscVVirt.dsc -t GCC5 3)Make the EDK2 image size to match with what qemu flash expects truncate -s 32M Build/RiscVVirt/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/RISCV_VIRT.fd 4) Run a) Boot to EFI shell (no -kernel / -initrd option) qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -drive file=Build/RiscVVirt/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/RISCV_VIRT.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 -machine virt -M 2G b) With -kernel, -initrd and -pflash qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -drive file=Build/RiscVVirt/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/RISCV_VIRT.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 -machine virt -M 2G -kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image.gz -initrd rootfs.cpio Changes since V2: 1) Moved the doc comment to .h file Changes since V1: 1) Modified code to support the use case when both -kernel and -pflash are configured. 2) Refactor patches added to help (1) above. 3) Cover letter added with test instructions.
