Revision as of 02:12, 30 April 2014

The OMAP5432 uEVM board is now supported in Xen upstream.

1. Prepare U-boot

Xen hypervisor requires to be booted in HYP mode by the bootloader. Make sure that the U-boot you use would keep staying in HYP mode when switching the control to Xen.

2. Build Xen and Linux Dom0

2.1 Build Xen hypervisor

Build Xen:

# git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git
# cd xen
# make dist-xen XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm32 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=omap5432

Create uImage for Xen:

 # mkimage -A arm -T kernel -a 0x80200000 -e 0x80200000 -C none -d "xen/xen" xen-uImage

2.2 Build Linux Dom0 kernel

Get the linux kernel source from upstream:

 # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

Use the default ‘omap2plus' as the base config:

# make omap2plus_defconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

Before adding the XEN related kernel configs, disable old omap SoCs support by unselecting the TI OMAP2/3/4 in the ‘System Type’ section of kernel configuration menus (by running ‘make menuconfig ARCH=arm’).

Adding the following config entries in .config and run ‘make olddefconfig ARCH=arm’:

CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=y
CONFIG_INPUT_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
CONFIG_HVC_XEN_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=y
CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND=y
CONFIG_XENFS=y
CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_XENFS=y
CONFIG_XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR=y
CONFIG_XEN_XENBUS_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_GNTDEV=y
CONFIG_XEN_GRANT_DEV_ALLOC=y
CONFIG_XEN_PRIVCMD=y

OMAP kernel still uses hwmod to describe its on-chip hardware blocks. Thus, we need to disable the UART3 used by Xen serial console by directly modifying the kernel source.

2.3 Build FDT

Apply the patch below to the upstream linux kernel and build the device tree blob.

2.4 All together

Now we should have 3 files as following:

  • xen-uImage
  • zImage
  • omap5-uevm.dtb

Then copy all these 3 files to the /boot partition of your MICRO-SD card.

3. Boot Xen and Dom0

Use the following U-boot command sequence to boot Xen & dom0:

OMAP5430 EVM # fatload mmc 0:1 0x825f0000 omap5-uevm.dtb
OMAP5430 EVM # fatload mmc 0:1 0x90000000 xen-uImage
OMAP5430 EVM # fatload mmc 0:1 0xa0000000 zImage
OMAP5430 EVM # bootm 0x90000000 - 0x825f0000
