The basic runqemu
command syntax is as
follows:
$ runqemu [option
] [...]
Based on what you provide on the command line,
runqemu
does a good job of figuring out what
you are trying to do.
For example, by default, QEMU looks for the most recently built
image according to the timestamp when it needs to look for an
image.
Minimally, through the use of options, you must provide either
a machine name, a virtual machine image
(*wic.vmdk
), or a kernel image
(*.bin
).
Following is the command-line help output for the
runqemu
command:
$ runqemu --help Usage: you can run this script with any valid combination of the following environment variables (in any order): KERNEL - the kernel image file to use ROOTFS - the rootfs image file or nfsroot directory to use MACHINE - the machine name (optional, autodetected from KERNEL filename if unspecified) Simplified QEMU command-line options can be passed with: nographic - disable video console serial - enable a serial console on /dev/ttyS0 slirp - enable user networking, no root privileges is required kvm - enable KVM when running x86/x86_64 (VT-capable CPU required) kvm-vhost - enable KVM with vhost when running x86/x86_64 (VT-capable CPU required) publicvnc - enable a VNC server open to all hosts audio - enable audio [*/]ovmf* - OVMF firmware file or base name for booting with UEFI tcpserial=<port> - specify tcp serial port number biosdir=<dir> - specify custom bios dir biosfilename=<filename> - specify bios filename qemuparams=<xyz> - specify custom parameters to QEMU bootparams=<xyz> - specify custom kernel parameters during boot help, -h, --help: print this text Examples: runqemu runqemu qemuarm runqemu tmp/deploy/images/qemuarm runqemu tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/<qemuboot.conf> runqemu qemux86-64 core-image-sato ext4 runqemu qemux86-64 wic-image-minimal wic runqemu path/to/bzImage-qemux86.bin path/to/nfsrootdir/ serial runqemu qemux86 iso/hddimg/wic.vmdk/wic.qcow2/wic.vdi/ramfs/cpio.gz... runqemu qemux86 qemuparams="-m 256" runqemu qemux86 bootparams="psplash=false" runqemu path/to/<image>-<machine>.wic runqemu path/to/<image>-<machine>.wic.vmdk
