3==========================================
4loongson3 virt generic platform (``virt``)
5==========================================
6
7The ``virt`` machine use gpex host bridge, and there are some
8emulated devices on virt board, such as loongson7a RTC device,
9IOAPIC device, ACPI device and so on.
10
11Supported devices
12-----------------
13
14The ``virt`` machine supports:
15- Gpex host bridge
16- Ls7a RTC device
17- Ls7a IOAPIC device
18- ACPI GED device
19- Fw_cfg device
20- PCI/PCIe devices
21- Memory device
22- CPU device. Type: la464.
23
24CPU and machine Type
25--------------------
26
27The ``qemu-system-loongarch64`` provides emulation for virt
28machine. You can specify the machine type ``virt`` and
29cpu type ``la464``.
30
31Boot options
32------------
33
34We can boot the LoongArch virt machine by specifying the uefi bios,
35initrd, and linux kernel. And those source codes and binary files
36can be accessed by following steps.
37
38(1) Build qemu-system-loongarch64:
39
40.. code-block:: bash
41
42  ./configure --disable-rdma --disable-pvrdma --prefix=/usr \
43              --target-list="loongarch64-softmmu" \
44              --disable-libiscsi --disable-libnfs --disable-libpmem \
45              --disable-glusterfs --enable-libusb --enable-usb-redir \
46              --disable-opengl --disable-xen --enable-spice \
47              --enable-debug --disable-capstone --disable-kvm \
48              --enable-profiler
49  make -j8
50
51(2) Set cross tools:
52
53.. code-block:: bash
54
55  wget https://github.com/loongson/build-tools/releases/download/2022.09.06/loongarch64-clfs-6.3-cross-tools-gcc-glibc.tar.xz
56
57  tar -vxf loongarch64-clfs-6.3-cross-tools-gcc-glibc.tar.xz  -C /opt
58
59  export PATH=/opt/cross-tools/bin:$PATH
60  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/cross-tools/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
61  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/cross-tools/loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
62
63Note: You need get the latest cross-tools at https://github.com/loongson/build-tools
64
65(3) Build BIOS:
66
67    See: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Platform/Loongson/LoongArchQemuPkg#readme
68
69Note: To build the release version of the bios,  set --buildtarget=RELEASE,
70      the bios file path:  Build/LoongArchQemu/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/QEMU_EFI.fd
71
72(4) Build kernel:
73
74.. code-block:: bash
75
76  git clone https://github.com/loongson/linux.git
77
78  cd linux
79
80  git checkout loongarch-next
81
82  make ARCH=loongarch CROSS_COMPILE=loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu- loongson3_defconfig
83
84  make ARCH=loongarch CROSS_COMPILE=loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu- -j32
85
86Note: The branch of linux source code is loongarch-next.
87      the kernel file: arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinuz.efi
88
89(5) Get initrd:
90
91  You can use busybox tool and the linux modules to make a initrd file. Or you can access the
92  binary files: https://github.com/yangxiaojuan-loongson/qemu-binary
93
94.. code-block:: bash
95
96  git clone https://github.com/yangxiaojuan-loongson/qemu-binary
97
98Note: the initrd file is ramdisk
99
100(6) Booting LoongArch:
101
102.. code-block:: bash
103
104  $ ./build/qemu-system-loongarch64 -machine virt -m 4G -cpu la464 \
105      -smp 1 -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -kernel vmlinuz.efi -initrd ramdisk \
106      -serial stdio   -monitor telnet:localhost:4495,server,nowait \
107      -append "root=/dev/ram rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200" \
108      --nographic
