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.
If ``ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33`` is set to 1 then this FDT will be passed to BL33
via register x0, as expected by a Linux kernel. This allows a Linux kernel image
to be booted directly as BL33 rather than using a bootloader.
An ARM64 defconfig v5.5 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
``QEMU_EFI.fd`` can be dowloaded from
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/kernel/leg-virt-tianocore-edk2-upstream/latest/QEMU-KERNEL-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/QEMU_EFI.fd
Booting via semi-hosting option
-------------------------------
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/arch/arm64/boot/Image
To build:
.. code:: shell
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=qemu
To start (QEMU v4.1.0):
.. 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
Booting via flash based firmwares
---------------------------------
Boot firmwares are loaded via secure FLASH0 device so ``bl1.bin`` and
``fip.bin`` should be concatenated to create a ``flash.bin`` that is flashed
onto secure FLASH0.
- ``bl32.bin`` -> BL32 (``tee-header_v2.bin``)
- ``bl32_extra1.bin`` -> BL32 Extra1 (``tee-pager_v2.bin``)
- ``bl32_extra2.bin`` -> BL32 Extra2 (``tee-pageable_v2.bin``)
- ``bl33.bin`` -> BL33 (``QEMU_EFI.fd``)
- ``Image`` -> linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image
To build:
.. code:: shell
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=qemu BL32=bl32.bin \
BL32_EXTRA1=bl32_extra1.bin BL32_EXTRA2=bl32_extra2.bin \
BL33=bl33.bin BL32_RAM_LOCATION=tdram SPD=opteed all fip
To build with TBBR enabled, BL31 and BL32 encrypted with test key:
.. code:: shell
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=qemu BL32=bl32.bin \
BL32_EXTRA1=bl32_extra1.bin BL32_EXTRA2=bl32_extra2.bin \
BL33=bl33.bin BL32_RAM_LOCATION=tdram SPD=opteed all fip \
MBEDTLS_DIR=<path-to-mbedtls-repo> TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 \
GENERATE_COT=1 DECRYPTION_SUPPORT=aes_gcm FW_ENC_STATUS=0 \
ENCRYPT_BL31=1 ENCRYPT_BL32=1
To build flash.bin:
.. code:: shell
dd if=build/qemu/release/bl1.bin of=flash.bin bs=4096 conv=notrunc
dd if=build/qemu/release/fip.bin of=flash.bin seek=64 bs=4096 conv=notrunc
To start (QEMU v2.6.0):
.. code:: shell
qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic -machine virt,secure=on -cpu cortex-a57 \
-kernel Image -no-acpi \
-append 'console=ttyAMA0,38400 keep_bootcon root=/dev/vda2' \
-initrd rootfs-arm64.cpio.gz -smp 2 -m 1024 -bios flash.bin \
