- Synopsys VDK Software Development Platform
- Intro
- =====
- The Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK) Family for ARM Cortex Products
- consists of a set of virtual prototypes that provide a virtualizer for
- the ARM core variants. The VDK is a standalone package that runs on an
- host computer.
- Buildroot will generate the kernel image and a minimal root filesystem.
- How to build it
- ===============
- Configure Buildroot
- -------------------
- Configuring Buildroot is pretty simple, just execute:
- $ make snps_aarch64_vdk_defconfig
- Build the rootfs and kernel
- ---------------------------
- Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will
- download the packages' sources.
- You may now build your rootfs with:
- $ make
- (This may take a while)
- Result of the build
- -------------------
- After building, you should obtain this tree:
- output/images/
- -- rootfs.ext2
- -- Image
- Installing your rootfs and Image
- ================================
- Now copy the content of the output/images folder to the VDK' skins
- folder:
- $ cp rootfs.ext2 Image <vdk_installation_path>/skins/Vanilla-Cortex/ARMv8
- Starting the VDK
- ================================
- Go the VDK' installation root and execute the 'start' script:
- $ cd <vdk_installation_path>
- $ ./start.sh
- The VP Explorer application will be executed, starting the simulation
- automatically.
