Regular/arm

Running in QEMU

1. Install qemu package supporting aarch64 (ARMv8) and/or armh (ARMv7hf) ABI; e.g., for ALT/x86_64 host system:
   apt-get install qemu-system-aarch64-core qemu-system-arm-core;
2. Download u-boot-qemu for aarch64/armh arches (replace <$arch/u-boot.bin> below with the path to the corresponding file extracted from the package);
3. Download one of qemu-targeted qcow2 images and run QEMU (replace <IMAGE> with the path to the downloaded image):

aarch64

$ qemu-system-aarch64 \
	-machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -m 2048 -smp 4 \
	-bios <aarch64/u-boot.bin> \
	-drive if=none,id=sda,format=qcow2,file=<IMAGE>  \
	-device virtio-blk-device,drive=sda \
	-device virtio-keyboard -device virtio-tablet \
	-device virtio-gpu,xres=1366,yres=768 -nographic -vnc :0

armh

$ qemu-system-arm \
	-machine virt -m 2048 -smp 4 \
	-bios <armh/u-boot.bin> \
	-drive if=none,id=sda,format=qcow2,file=<IMAGE>  \
	-device virtio-blk-device,drive=sda \
	-device virtio-keyboard -device virtio-tablet \
	-device virtio-gpu,xres=1366,yres=768 -nographic -vnc :0
