h2. Prerequisites

h3. Get artifacts

To get the build artifacts you must be part of the linaro-android-restricted launchpad group. Contact "Philip Colmer" <philip.colmer@linaro.org> for access requests.

h3. Run the build

You'll need the latest ARM FVP Base models and a license to use the models. Follow the instructions at https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/ITS/FlexLM+and+Fast+Models for the same.

h2. Get artifacts

Scroll down and click on 'Downloads'

Click on each link to download:
* boot.tar.bz2
* system.tar.bz2
* userdata.tar.bz2

h2. Get linaro image tools

Run these commands to get all the dependencies for linaro-image-tools and the tip of linaro-image-tools

<pre>
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools
</pre>
You can also use the tip of linaro-image-tools from http://git.linaro.org/infrastructure/linaro-image-tools.git

h2. Create mmc image for the ARM FVP Base AEMv8 models

Run linaro image tools

pre. $ linaro-android-media-create --image_file mmc.bin --image_size 2000M --dev vexpress --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2

If you're using tip of linaro image tools

pre. $ ./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --image_file mmc.bin --image_size 2000M --dev vexpress --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2

h2. Extract the preboot files

pre. tar -jxvf boot.tar.bz2

h2. Setup the runtime environment

<pre>
  $ export ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE="8224@localhost"
  $ ssh -L 8224:localhost:8224 -L 18224:localhost:18224 -N $USER@flexlm.linaro.org &
</pre>

h2. Running the models (verified on FVP Base model build 5602)

<pre>
  $ cd boot/
  $ /path/to/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A/models/Linux64_GCC-4.1/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A \
        -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0 \
        -C bp.secure_memory=0 \
        -C cluster0.NUM_CORES=1 \
        -C cluster1.NUM_CORES=1 \
        -C cache_state_modelled=0 \
        -C bp.pl011_uart0.untimed_fifos=1 \
        -C bp.secureflashloader.fname=bl1.bin \
        -C bp.flashloader0.fname=fvp_fip.bin \
        -C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path=mmc.bin
</pre>

h3. Console redirection

To redirect the console open a terminal and run

pre. telnet 127.0.0.1 5000

h3. Set UEFI configuration, update kernel/ramdisk path and bootargs

Stop the UEFI boot process and configure it for FVP models:

<pre>
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 -debug 5000 -e ^z
Telnet escape character is 'b'.
Telnet escape character is '^Z'.
Trying 127.0.0.1...
setsockopt (SO_DEBUG): Permission denied
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^Z'.

h3. Black screen

The boot screen has been disabled to speed up booting. This means you may not see anything on the CLCD terminal for a while depending on the performance of the machine the model is running on. For example a first boot on a 2 GHz machine with 32 GB of RAM took 20 minutes. Subsequent boots should take approximately half the time to boot.

h3. Attach ADB

ADB on FVP Base models are supported over network. Follow the instructions here https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/Projects/Juice/SetupNetworkingOnModelsUsingBridges to setup networking and use adb.
