下载内核源码
下载内核有两种方法,一种是用git直接下载内核代码树,方便后面的内核开发。另一种是直接到内核社区下载稳定版本(详见:https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/)。下面演示从Linux kernel主线下载代码进行编译。
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
安装arm的交叉编译工具链
因为交叉编译容易出现兼容性问题,所以最好使用稳定的版本,这里使用4.8版本:
编译Linux内核
生成vexpress开发板子的config文件:
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm vexpress_defconfig
编译:
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm
生成的内核镱像位于arch/arm/boot/zImage, 后续qemu启动时需要使用该镜像。
下载和安装qemu模拟器
wget http://wiki.qemu-project.org/download/qemu-2.5.0.tar.bz2
配置qemu,支持模拟arm架构下的所有单板:
./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --audio-drv-list=
编译和安装:
make
make install
测试qemu和内核启动
qemu已经安装好,内核也编译成功之后,到这里最好是测试一下
运行命令很简单:
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 512M -kernel ./arch/arm/boot/zImage -dtb ./arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb -nographic -append "console=ttyAMA0"
这里简单介绍下qemu命令的参数:
-M vexpress-a9 模拟vexpress-a9单板,你可以使用-M ?参数来获取该qemu版本支持的所有单板
-m 512M 单板运行物理内存512M
-kernel ./arch/arm/boot/zImage 告诉qemu单板运行内核镜像路径
-nographic 不使用图形化界面,只使用串口
-append “console=ttyAMA0” 内核启动参数,这里告诉内核vexpress单板运行,串口设备是那个tty。
执行测试命令qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 512M -kernel ./arch/arm/boot/zImage -dtb ./arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb -nographic -append "console=ttyAMA0"
, 则启动内核,打印出内核启动信息,如下:
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed
pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed
pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
