This document describes how to run U-Boot under it. +Both 32-bit 64-bit targets are supported. + +The QEMU virt machine models a generic RISC-V virtual machine with support for +the VirtIO standard networking and block storage devices. It has CLINT, PLIC, +16550A UART devices in addition to VirtIO and it also uses device-tree to pass +configuration information to guest software. It implements RISC-V privileged +architecture spec v1.10. + +Building U-Boot +--------------- +Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable as usual, and run: + +- For 32-bit RISC-V: + make qemu-riscv32_defconfig + make + +- For 64-bit RISC-V: + make qemu-riscv64_defconfig + make + +Running U-Boot +-------------- +The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is: + +- For 32-bit RISC-V: + qemu-system-riscv32 -nographic -machine virt -kernel u-boot + +- For 64-bit RISC-V: + qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt -kernel u-boot + +The commands above create targets with 128MiB memory by default. +A freely configurable amount of RAM can be created via the '-m' +parameter. For example, '-m 2G' creates 2GiB memory for the target, +and the memory node in the embedded DTB created by QEMU reflects +the new setting. + +These have been tested in QEMU 3.0.0. |
