[RISC-V]1, How to Run Linux on RISC-V with QEMU Emulator

Origin site:https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/03/16/how-to-run-linux-on-risc-v-with-qemu-emulator/


RISC-V open source architecture is starting to become more and more interesting thanks the growing RISC-V hardware & software ecosystem, and with the recent release of HiFive Unleashed, we even have a board capable of running Linux. The only problem: it costs $999.

But luckily, it’s possible to experiment with Linux on RISC-V without extra hardware, just using your current PC. Imperas offers a commercial solution working on both Windows and Linux that relies on busybear-linux RISC-V Linux root filesystem comprised of busybox and dropbear SSH server. The rootfs also works with QEMU, so I tried it in Ubuntu 16.04.

The instructions on Github are quite easy to follow. My computer is powered by an AMD FX8350 processor coupled with 16GB RAM, and the whole process took around 2 hours, so better use the fastest computer possible. It also requires around 26 GB of storage on your build machine.

First, let’s create a working directory, and retrieve the RISC-V toolchain:

mkdir riscv-linux
cd riscv-linux/
git clone --recursive https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain

Now we can now build the RISC-V newlib & Linux toolchains) after installing some dependencies:

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib1g-dev libexpat-dev
cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv --enable-multilib
make newlib -j8
make linux -j8
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/riscv/bin
export RISCV=/opt/risc

We’ll also need to build qemu for RISC-V

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/riscv/riscv-qemu.git
cd riscv-qemu
./configure --target-list=riscv64-softmmu,riscv32-softmmu
make -j8
sudo make install

The next three steps will build the rootfs, Linux 4.14 kernel, and the bootloader, but there are optional since you could just as well as download the binary releases.

  • Build busybear-linux
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/michaeljclark/busybear-linux.git
cd busybear-linux
make -j8
  • Build RISC-V Linux
cd..
git clone https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux.git
cd riscv-linux
git checkout riscv-linux-4.14
cp ../busybear-linux/conf/linux.config .config
make ARCH=riscv olddefconfig
make ARCH=riscv vmlinux -j8
  • Build BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader):
cd..
git clone https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk.git
cd riscv-pk
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --enable-logo --host=riscv64-unknown-elf --with-payload=../../riscv-linux/vmlinux
make -j8

If we’re going to use the release files instead:

mkdir release
cd release
wget https://github.com/michaeljclark/busybear-linux/releases/download/v1.0/bbl.bz2
wget https://github.com/michaeljclark/busybear-linux/releases/download/v1.0/busybear.bin.bz2
bzip2 -d *.bz2

You’d normally want to setup Linux bridged networking, and I tried, but failed and ran out of time. I added the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces in my computer:

iface br0 inet static
  bridge_ports eth0
  address 192.168.100.1
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.100.0
  broadcast 192.168.100.255

and create two scripts in the current directory

  • ifup
#!/bin/sh

brctl addif br0 $1
ifconfig $1 up
  • ifdown
#!/bin/sh

ifconfig $1 down
brctl delif br0 $1

But I did not get it to work in a reasonable time. Studying QEMU Networking page on Arch Linux in details should help.
[Update: See comments’ section for SSH access using the Fedora RISC-V image instead]

Nevertheless I could still run Linux on RISC-V with QEMU using the following command:

 sudo qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt   -kernel bbl -append "root=/dev/vda ro console=ttyS0"   \
 -drive file=busybear.bin,format=raw,id=hd0   -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0   \
 -netdev type=tap,script=./ifup,downscript=./ifdown,id=net0   -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0

The boot takes just over one second to our minimal rootfs. Here’s the boot log:
