| This is the support for the ARM Foundation v8 machine emulated by the |
| ARM software simulator of the AArch64 architecture. |
| |
| First, one has to download the AArch64 software simulator from: |
| |
| https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/ecosystem-models/FM_11_25/Foundation_Platform_11.25_15_Linux64.tgz |
| |
| Then, use the arm_foundationv8_defconfig configuration to build your |
| Buildroot system. |
| |
| Finally, boot your system with: |
| |
| ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/models/Linux64_GCC-9.3/Foundation_Platform \ |
| --image output/images/linux-system.axf \ |
| --block-device output/images/rootfs.ext2 \ |
| --network=nat \ |
| --cores 4 |
| |
| You can get network access from within the simulated environment |
| by requesting an IP address using DHCP (run the command 'udhcpc'). |
