1 Overview

• Background
  • RUN U-BOOT on QEMU Platform
• Statement
  • QEMU 5.1.50
  • U-BOOT 2017.11
  • Ubuntu 18.04

2 STEPS

STEP 1 – Compile glib-2.48

• Required Software

• pcre-8.20.tar.gz
• libffi-3.3.tar.gz
• glib-2.48.0.tar.bz2

tar -xzvf pcre-8.20.tar.gz
cd pcre-8.20
./configure --enable-unicode-properties --enable-utf8
make && make install

tar -zxvf libffi-3.3.tar.gz
cd libffi-3.3
./configure
make && make install

cd glib-2.48.0
./autogen.sh --with-pcre=internal	
make && make install

STEP 2 – Compile QEMU

• Required Software

• pixman-0.40.0.tar.gz
• zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
• qemu-5.1.50.tar.bz2

tar -xvzf pixman-0.40.0.tar.gz
cd pixman-0.40.0
./configure
make && make install

tar -xvzf zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
cd zlib-1.2.11
./configure
make && make install

cd qemu/
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make

STEP 3 – Compile U-Boot

make vexpress_ca9x4_defconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_CMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

STEP 4 – Run U-Boot on QEMU

./qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -nographic -m 512 -kernel xx/u-boot-2017.11/u-boot

3 Extend

3.1 Qemu Command Line

• (ctrl + a) + x: Quit QEMU
• (ctrl + a) + c: enter into QEMU monitor

3.2 Install glib by using Meson

• (1) Install meson and ninja

python3 -m pip install meson
python3 -m pip install ninja

• (2) build implementation

//meson setup <source directory> <build directory>
//cd <source root>
//meson setup builddir
	
cd glib-xxx
meson setup _install
ninja -C _install
ninja -C _install install
