Running on QEMU

#Running on QEMU#

The requirements to test frosted on synthetic target are:

• a Linux distribution, or a POSIX-compliant OS which supports the tools described below
• the GCC ARM Embedded toolchain (version 4.9.x or greater)
• a QEMU installation supporting qemu-system-arm (version 2.2.x or later)
• the GCC ARM Embedded debugger (gdb), for kernel debugging

How to run the QEMU example synthetic target:

• run git submodule init && git submodule update in your repo, to clone submodules needed.
• use make menuconfig to select preferred options. For running under qemu, the CPU type has to be set to "LM3S"
• use make to start the build
• use make qemu2 to run frosted in a virtual machine.
• use make qemu to run frosted in a virtual machine. The kernel will wait until a GDB debugger is connected to local port 3333.
