| qfw command |
| =========== |
| |
| Synopsis |
| -------- |
| |
| :: |
| |
| qfw list |
| qfw cpus |
| qfw load [kernel_addr [initrd_addr]] |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The *qfw* command is used to retrieve information form the QEMU firmware. |
| |
| The *qfw list* sub-command displays the QEMU firmware files. |
| |
| The *qfw cpus* sub-command displays the available CPUs. |
| |
| The *qfw load* command is used to load a kernel and an initial RAM disk. |
| |
| kernel_addr |
| address to which the file specified by the -kernel parameter of QEMU shall |
| be loaded. Defaults to environment variable *loadaddr* and further to |
| the value of *CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR*. |
| |
| initrd_addr |
| address to which the file specified by the -initrd parameter of QEMU shall |
| be loaded. Defaults to environment variable *ramdiskaddr* and further to |
| the value of *CONFIG_RAMDISK_ADDR*. |
| |
| Examples |
| -------- |
| |
| QEMU firmware files are listed via the *qfw list* command: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| => qfw list |
| etc/boot-fail-wait |
| etc/smbios/smbios-tables |
| etc/smbios/smbios-anchor |
| etc/e820 |
| genroms/kvmvapic.bin |
| genroms/linuxboot.bin |
| etc/system-states |
| etc/acpi/tables |
| etc/table-loader |
| etc/tpm/log |
| etc/acpi/rsdp |
| bootorder |
| |
| The available CPUs can be shown via the *qfw cpus* command: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| => qfw cpu |
| 2 cpu(s) online |
| |
| The *-kernel* and *-initrd* parameters allow to specify a kernel and an |
| initial RAM disk for QEMU: |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| $ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc-i440fx-2.5 -bios u-boot.rom -m 1G \ |
| -nographic -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd |
| |
| Now the kernel and the initial RAM disk can be loaded to the U-Boot memory via |
| the *qfw load* command and booted thereafter. |
| |
| :: |
| |
| => qfw load ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} |
| loading kernel to address 0000000001000000 size 5048f0 initrd 0000000004000000 size 3c94891 |
| => zboot 1000000 5048f0 4000000 3c94891 |

| Configuration |
| ------------- |
| |
| The qfw command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_QFW=y. |
