Several code blocks do not specify a language for syntax highlighting. This results in Sphinx using a default highlighter which is Python. This patch adds the correct language to each code block that doesn't already specify it. Change-Id: Icce1949aabfdc11a334a42d49edf55fa673cddc3 Signed-off-by: Paul Beesley <paul.beesley@arm.com>

QEMU virt Armv8-A
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) implements the EL3 firmware layer for QEMU virt
|
|
Armv8-A. BL1 is used as the BootROM, supplied with the -bios argument.
|
|
When QEMU starts all CPUs are released simultaneously, BL1 selects a
|
|
primary CPU to handle the boot and the secondaries are placed in a polling
|
|
loop to be released by normal world via PSCI.
|
|
|
|
BL2 edits the Flattened Device Tree, FDT, generated by QEMU at run-time to
|
|
add a node describing PSCI and also enable methods for the CPUs.
|
|
|
|
An ARM64 defconfig v4.5 Linux kernel is known to boot, FDT doesn't need to be
|
|
provided as it's generated by QEMU.
|
|
|
|
Current limitations:
|
|
|
|
- Only cold boot is supported
|
|
- No build instructions for QEMU\_EFI.fd and rootfs-arm64.cpio.gz
|
|
- No instructions for how to load a BL32 (Secure Payload)
|
|
|
|
``QEMU_EFI.fd`` can be dowloaded from
|
|
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/kernel/leg-virt-tianocore-edk2-upstream/latest/QEMU-KERNEL-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC49/QEMU_EFI.fd
|
|
|
|
Boot binaries, except BL1, are primarily loaded via semi-hosting so all
|
|
binaries has to reside in the same directory as QEMU is started from. This
|
|
is conveniently achieved with symlinks the local names as:
|
|
|
|
- ``bl2.bin`` -> BL2
|
|
- ``bl31.bin`` -> BL31
|
|
- ``bl33.bin`` -> BL33 (``QEMU_EFI.fd``)
|
|
- ``Image`` -> linux/Image
|
|
|
|
To build:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=qemu
|
|
|
|
To start (QEMU v2.6.0):
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic -machine virt,secure=on -cpu cortex-a57 \
|
|
-kernel Image \
|
|
-append console=ttyAMA0,38400 keep_bootcon root=/dev/vda2 \
|
|
-initrd rootfs-arm64.cpio.gz -smp 2 -m 1024 -bios bl1.bin \
|
|
-d unimp -semihosting-config enable,target=native
