Do you know which options I might need to add to my QEMU -M virt command to make it open a graphic window (and hopefully show the CONFIG_LOGO penguin)? For example on QEMU v2.12.0, the following boots fine but does not open an SDL graphical window like an analogous x86 command would: qemu-system-aarch64 \ -serial mon:stdio \ -M virt \ -append 'root=/dev/vda console=ttyAMA0' \ -cpu cortex-a57 \ -kernel Image \ -drive file='rootfs.ext2.qcow2,if=virtio,format=qcow2' \ > I've never tried to use graphics with the virt board (having > no need for it), but I believe it ought to work.
