Hello, my goal is to run Xen on HiKey (LeMaker). I am aware of the instructions in the Xen wiki: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/HiKey, which I would like to recreate. Since, I am new to Xen and ARM many things are not clear for me and I hope some of you can point me in the right direction. # This is what I did ### Environment Debian "Stretch" testing ### Install ARM Toolchain ~~~ host# apt-get install make gcc gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi git libncurses5-dev python bc mtools ~~~ ### Build Xen ~~~ host$ git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git xen host$ cd xen host: ~/xen$ git checkout RELEASE-4.7.0 host$ make xen XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- DEBUG=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINT=fastmodel ~~~ #### Build Kernel 4.1 ~~~ # clone the kernel tree user@host$ git clone https://github.com/96boards/linux.git 96boards_linux user@host$ cd 96boards_linux //this is the android-hikey-linaro-4.1 commit mentioned in the article user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ git checkout 9e740973c9a71214a5873d2a5de42e5be7522989 user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ git show HEAD # setup cross build environment user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ export ARCH="arm64" user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ export CROSS_COMPILE="aarch64-linux-gnu-" user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ make hikey_defconfig #optional # show config file user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ less .config # download Xen config file user@host: ~/96board_linux$ wget http://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/config-hikey user@host: ~/96board_linux$ rm .config #optional user@host: ~/96board_linux$ mv config-hikey .config # cross build the kernel make -j24 Image hisilicon/hi6220-hikey.dtb # Copy files to SD card (FAT format) user@host$ sudo dd if=CentOS-7-aarch64-rolling.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M user@host$ mkdir efi //mount efi FAT partition to efi user@host$ sudo mount /dev/sdX1 efi user@host$ cd 96board_linux user@host: ~/96board_linux$ cp arch/arm64/boot/Image ../efi host: ~$ cd xen host: ~/xen$ cp xen/xen ../efi host: ~/xen$ cd ../efi host: ~$ mv xen xen.efi //startup.nsh and xen.cfg are from the wiki article host: ~/efi$ ls EFI Image startup.nsh xen.cfg xen.efi ~~~ # This is the result try to start normal linux: ~~~ Shell> FS0: FS0:\> Image console=ttyAMA3,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk1p4 rootwait rw efi=noruntie EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: Generating empty DTB EFI stub: Exiting boot services and installing virtual address map... //it stops here and does nothing more ~~~ try to start xen: ~~~ Xen 4.7.0 (c/s Mon Jun 20 11:38:15 2016 +0100 git:9a6cc4f) EFI loader Using configuration file 'xen.cfg' Image: 0x0000000079fd0000-0x000000007acb8c00 //it stops here and does nothing more ~~~ # Questions: 1. I used `xen XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- DEBUG=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINT=fastmodel` to build Xen. I am not sure if this is correct, especially the `CONFIG_EARLY_PRINT=fastmodel` parameter. Can you point me to the right command? 2. I did not use the `CentOS-7-aarch64-rootfs-1606.tar.xz` mentioned in the article, mainly because I did not understand how to use it. I used instead `CentOS-7-aarch64-rolling.img.xz`. Does this make a difference and how to use the rootfs instead? 3. I simply renamed the binary `xen` to `xen.efi`. Does this work or do I have to compile xen with different parameters? 4. I am not sure if I placed the startup.nsh, xen.efi, xen.cfg and Image (kernel) files in the right place? in addition I would be happy to know about any other hint of things I did wrong.
