forked from mirror/openwrt
A previous change added 'console=tty1' to the default kernel command
line on armsr, in order to ensure the framebuffer console is enabled
on systems capable of graphics output.
Unfortunately, this change broke boards that used device tree
(DT) firmware with serial consoles, as the serial console
specified by the system firmware (stdout-path) was no longer
setup by the kernel.
A bit of probing determined that the SPCR (serial port console
direction table) on ACPI systems was preventing Linux from setting
up a default framebuffer console on these systems (which is why
console=tty1 was added).
(The affected ACPI systems are usually VMs using QEMU's
'virt' machine and EDK2 firmware. The firmware on these systems
does not remove the SPCR when a screen is present)
So to ensure all possible systems are setup correctly, we modify
the kernel so all "default" console types (serial and screen)
are setup when no console= arguments are specified on the kernel
command line.

This target generates images that can be used on ARM machines with EFI
support (e.g EDKII/TianoCore or U-Boot with bootefi).
There are two subtargets:
- armv7 for 32-bit machines
- armv8 for 64-bit machines
The kernel and filesystem images can also be used directly by QEMU:
Run with qemu-system-arm
# boot with initramfs embedded in
qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-initramfs-kernel.bin
# boot with accel=kvm
qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt,accel=kvm -cpu host -m 64 -kernel
openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-initramfs-kernel.bin
# boot with a separate rootfs
qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-kernel.bin \
-drive file=openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-ext4-rootfs.img,format=raw,if=virtio -append 'root=/dev/vda rootwait'
# boot with local dir as rootfs
qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-kernel.bin \
-fsdev local,id=rootdev,path=root-armsr/,security_model=none \
-device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=rootdev,mount_tag=/dev/root \
-append 'rootflags=trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,cache=loose rootfstype=9p'
Run with kvmtool
# start a named machine
lkvm run -k openwrt-armsr-armv7-zImage -i openwrt-armsr-armv7-rootfs.cpio --name armsr0
# start with virtio-9p rootfs
lkvm run -k openwrt-armsr-armv7-zImage -d root-armsr/
# stop "armsr0"
lkvm stop --name armsr0
# stop all
lkvm stop --all
The multi-platform ARMv8 target can be used with QEMU:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic \
-kernel openwrt-armsr-armv8-generic-initramfs-kernel.bin \
With a EDKII or U-Boot binary for the QEMU ARM virtual machines, you can use these
images in EFI mode:
32-bit:
gunzip -c bin/targets/armsr/armv7/openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz > openwrt-arm-32.img
qemu-system-arm -nographic \
-cpu cortex-a15 -machine virt \
-bios bin/targets/armsr/armv7/u-boot-qemu_armv7/u-boot.bin \
-smp 1 -m 1024 \
-device virtio-rng-pci \
-drive file=openwrt-arm-32.img,format=raw,index=0,media=disk \
-netdev user,id=testlan -net nic,netdev=testlan \
-netdev user,id=testwan -net nic,netdev=testwan
64-bit:
gunzip -c bin/targets/armsr/armv8/openwrt-armsr-armv8-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz > openwrt-arm-64.img
qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic \
-cpu cortex-a53 -machine virt \
-bios bin/targets/armsr/armv8/u-boot-qemu_armv8/u-boot.bin \
-smp 1 -m 1024 \
-device virtio-rng-pci \
-drive file=openwrt-arm-64.img,format=raw,index=0,media=disk \
-netdev user,id=testlan -net nic,netdev=testlan \
-netdev user,id=testwan -net nic,netdev=testwan
One can obtain other EFI/BIOS binaries from:
- Distribution packages (such as qemu-efi-arm and qemu-efi-aarch64 in Debian)
- Community builds, like retrage/edk2-nightly: https://retrage.github.io/edk2-nightly/
