1*4882a593Smuzhiyun
2*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe aarch64_efi_defconfig allows to build a minimal Linux system that
3*4882a593Smuzhiyuncan boot on all AArch64 servers providing an EFI firmware.
4*4882a593Smuzhiyun
5*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis includes all Arm EBBR[1] compliant systems, and all Arm SystemReady[2]
6*4882a593Smuzhiyuncompliant systems for example.
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun
9*4882a593SmuzhiyunBuilding and booting
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun====================
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun$ make aarch64_efi_defconfig
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun$ make
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun
15*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe file output/images/disk.img is a complete disk image that can be
16*4882a593Smuzhiyunbooted, it includes the grub2 bootloader, Linux kernel and root
17*4882a593Smuzhiyunfilesystem.
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun
19*4882a593SmuzhiyunTesting under Qemu
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun==================
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis image can also be tested using Qemu:
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun
24*4882a593Smuzhiyunqemu-system-aarch64 \
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-M virt \
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-cpu cortex-a57 \
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-m 512 \
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-nographic \
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-bios </path/to/QEMU_EFI.fd> \
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-drive file=output/images/disk.img,if=none,format=raw,id=hd0 \
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-netdev user,id=eth0 \
33*4882a593Smuzhiyun	-device virtio-net-device,netdev=eth0
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun
35*4882a593SmuzhiyunNote that </path/to/QEMU_EFI.fd> needs to point to a valid aarch64 UEFI
36*4882a593Smuzhiyunfirmware image for qemu.
37*4882a593SmuzhiyunIt may be provided by your distribution as a edk2-aarch64 or AAVMF
38*4882a593Smuzhiyunpackage, in path such as /usr/share/edk2/aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd .
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun
40*4882a593SmuzhiyunU-Boot based qemu firmware
41*4882a593Smuzhiyun==========================
42*4882a593Smuzhiyun
43*4882a593SmuzhiyunA qemu firmware with support for UEFI based on U-Boot can be built following
44*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe instructions in [3], with qemu_arm64_defconfig.
45*4882a593Smuzhiyun
46*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis should give you a nor_flash.bin, which you can use with qemu as an
47*4882a593Smuzhiyunalternative to QEMU_EFI.fd. You will also need to change the machine
48*4882a593Smuzhiyunspecification to "-M virt,secure" on qemu command line, to enable TrustZone
49*4882a593Smuzhiyunsupport, and you will need to increase the memory with "-m 1024".
