Hi,
I am trying to boot off a coreboot kernel image on aarch64 (qemu-system-aarch64) [Currently under development]. I am sort of stuck with some qemu related issue (not as much of a coreboot issue) I have the compiled image which I am ran by using the command
$qemu-system-aarch64 -machine type=virt -nographic -kernel ~/coreboot/build/coreboot.rom
I was getting no output on serial (on the terminal) on doing this.
For debugging purposes, I tried to get qemu monitor working first.
This gave me then following :
qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x0000000008000000

I did some searching, this meant that the bootloader cannot be loaded. And realised maybe the ROM qemu is getting is not sufficient. The 'execute outside ram or rom' is usually a jump to somewhere that qemu does not recognize as ROM/RAM.
In coreboot*, *Since we expect
CONFIG_BOOTBLOCK_BASE is 0x10000 CONFIG_ROMSTAGE_BASE is 0x20000 CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE is 0x1000000
i.e ROM to start at 64k. So I ran qemu by giving a -m 2048M (for testing) and got something. A window popped out (qemu), I am unsure as to what this is. I am attaching the picture with this mail*.*
What is this window? Is this just a serial monitor? If so, why does it pop out on doing just $qemu-system-aarch64 -machine type=virt -m 2048M -nographic -kernel ~/coreboot/build/coreboot.rom ?
Why is there no output on the terminal?
I would appreciate any help on this.
