First, one has to download the AArch64 software simulator from:
- https://silver.arm.com/download/download.tm?pv=2663527
+ https://silver.arm.com/download/download.tm?pv=4807186
Then, use the arm_foundationv8_defconfig configuration to build your
Buildroot system.
Finally, boot your system with:
- ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/models/Linux64_GCC-4.7/Foundation_Platform \
+ ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/models/Linux64_GCC-6.4/Foundation_Platform \
--image output/images/linux-system.axf \
--block-device output/images/rootfs.ext2 \
- --network=nat
+ --network=nat \
+ --cores 4
You can get network access from within the simulated environment
by requesting an IP address using DHCP (run the command 'udhcpc').
