    Creating  the  ARM  vm-­‐image  (Linux)  
    The  following  is  a  summary  of  &  application  of  the  instructions  from:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-­‐
    US/docs/Developer_Guide/Virtual_ARM_Linux_environment  
     
    Environment  Setup  
    #  Add  Linaro’s  repository,  containing  their  tools  and  more  recent  versions  of  qemu  
    sudo  add-­‐apt-­‐repository  ppa:linaro-­‐maintainers/tools  
    sudo  apt-­‐get  update  
    #  Install  linaro  tools  and  qemu  
    sudo  apt-­‐get  install  linaro-­‐image-­‐tools  qemu-­‐user-­‐static  qemu-­‐system  
     
    #  If  you  want  to  be  able  to  cross-­‐compile  on  the  host,  install  these  as  well  
    Sudo  apt-­‐get  install  gcc-­‐arm-­‐linux-­‐gnueabi  g++-­‐arm-­‐linux-­‐gnueab  
     
    #  Add  Linaro's  repository,  containing  their  tools  and  more  recent    
    #  versions  of  qemu  (you  need  at  least  qemu  0.15*).    
    sudo  add-­‐apt-­‐repository  ppa:linaro-­‐maintainers/tools    
    #  Install  linaro  tools  and  qemu    
    sudo  apt-­‐get  install  linaro-­‐image-­‐tools  qemu-­‐user-­‐static  qemu-­‐system  
     
    #  If  you  want  to  be  able  to  cross-­‐compile  on  the  host,  install  these  as  well  
    sudo  apt-­‐get  install  gcc-­‐arm-­‐linux-­‐gnueabi  g++-­‐arm-­‐linux-­‐gnueab  
    #  or  you  can  install  CodeSourcery/ARM-­‐Linux  toolchain  
     
    Download  a  Linaro  release  &  hardware  pack

    Extracting  the  kernel  and  initrd    
    #  The  created  image  contains  the  needed  kernel  and  initrd  of  the  ARM  vm  
    #  The  following  mounts  the  image  to  “/mnt/tmp”  
    sudo  mount  -­‐o  loop,offset="$(file  vexpress.img  |  awk  'BEGIN  {  RS=";";  }  /partition  2/  {  print  $7*512;  }')"  -­‐
    t  auto  vexpress.img  /mnt/tmp  
     
    #  The  wanted  files  are  linked  to  by  “/mnt/tmp/vmlinuz”  (kernel)  &  “/mnt/tmp/initrd.img”  (initrd)  
    #  Transfer  vexpress.img,  vmlinuz,  &  initrd  to  the  Windows  box/host  
    #  Renamed  to  vmlinuz    &  initrd.img  
     
     
    Starting  QEMU  (Windows)  
    qemu-­‐system-­‐arm  -­‐M  vexpress-­‐a9  -­‐cpu  cortex-­‐a9  -­‐kernel  ./vmlinuz    -­‐initrd  ./initrd.img  –redir  
    tcp:2200::22  -­‐m  512    -­‐append  "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2  vga=normal  mem=512M  devtmpfs.mount=0  rw"    
    -­‐drive  file=vexpress.img,if=sd,cache=writeback  
     
    Notes:  
    • The  “-­‐redir  tcp:2200::22”  redirects  TCP  traffic  on  the  host  port  2200  to  the  guest  machine  
    (QEMU)  port  22.  This  will  allow  us  to  SSH  into  the  machine  later  by  connecting  to  localhost  on  
    2200.  
    • The  “-­‐m  512”  specifies  that  we  want  512  MB  of  RAM.  You  can  adjust  this,  but  make  sure  you  
    also  change  it  in  the  “-­‐append”  string.  
    • The  “-­‐drive  file=vexpress.img,if=sd,cache=writeback”  attaches  our  images  as  an  SD  card.  
    (Supposedly  provides  faster  I/O)  
     
     
    Setting  up  APT-­‐repositories  
    #  If  you  are  using  an  older  version  of  Ubuntu  as  the  vm  (out  of  support,  etc)  
    #  edit  “sources.list”  to  use  “old-­‐releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu”  
    vi  /etc/apt/sources.list  
     
     
    Setting  up  SSH  on  the  vm  (VM)  
    Enable  a  network  connection  
    ifconfig  eth0  up  
    dhclient  eth0  
     
    Install  SSH  
    apt-­‐get  install  openssh-­‐server  
     
    Persist  network  changes  
    auto  eth0  
    iface  eth0  inet  dhcp  
     
    Notes:  
    • Set  a  password  for  root  (“passwd”  cmd)  
    • SSH  via  “ssh  –p2200  root@localhost”  on  the  host  (Windows)  machine  
     
     
    Installing  needed  packages    
    apt-­‐get  install  libpthread-­‐stubs0  
    apt-­‐get  install  gcc  
    apt-­‐get  install  g++  
    apt-­‐get  install  make
