Available Targets
Multiple qemu targets are provided for Heads.
| Target | Interface | Features |
|---|---|---|
qemu-coreboot | Text | Basic build/boot test |
qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail | Graphical | Basic build/boot test |
qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp | Graphical | TPM, HOTP with USB token, /boot signing and OS booting. |
Basic build/boot tests
Generate the qemu.rom image:
make BOARD=qemu-coreboot
Boot it in qemu:
build/make-4.2/make BOARD=qemu-coreboot run
Use qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail as the board instead for the graphical interface.
Issues with emulation:
- TPM is not available
- Xen won’t start dom0 correctly, but it is sufficient to test that the
initrd.cpiofile was correctly generated - This also lets us test Xen patches for legacy-free systems
- SATA controller sometimes takes minutes to timeout?
Comprehensive test
The qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp configuration permits testing of most features of Heads.
For more information and setup instructions, refer to the qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp documentation.
