  1. Synopsys VDK Software Development Platform
  2. Intro
  3. =====
  4. The Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK) Family for ARM Cortex Products
  5. consists of a set of virtual prototypes that provide a virtualizer for
  6. the ARM core variants. The VDK is a standalone package that runs on an
  7. host computer.
  8. Buildroot will generate the kernel image and a minimal root filesystem.
  9. How to build it
  10. ===============
  11. Configure Buildroot
  12. -------------------
  13. Configuring Buildroot is pretty simple, just execute:
  14. $ make snps_aarch64_vdk_defconfig
  15. Build the rootfs and kernel
  16. ---------------------------
  17. Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will
  18. download the packages' sources.
  19. You may now build your rootfs with:
  20. $ make
  21. (This may take a while)
  22. Result of the build
  23. -------------------
  24. After building, you should obtain this tree:
  25. output/images/
  26. -- rootfs.ext2
  27. -- Image
  28. Installing your rootfs and Image
  29. ================================
  30. Now copy the content of the output/images folder to the VDK' skins
  31. folder:
  32. $ cp rootfs.ext2 Image <vdk_installation_path>/skins/Vanilla-Cortex/ARMv8
  33. Starting the VDK
  34. ================================
  35. Go the VDK' installation root and execute the 'start' script:
  36. $ cd <vdk_installation_path>
  37. $ ./start.sh
  38. The VP Explorer application will be executed, starting the simulation
  39. automatically.
