Hypervisorless virtio binary demo (openamp/demo-lite)

A binary-only version of the hypervisorless virtio setup can be used in a containerized deployment based on the openamp/demo-lite image from Docker Hub.

you@your-machine:~$ docker run -it openamp/demo-lite
dev@openamp-demo:~$ qemu-zcu102 ./demo4

Let U-boot autoboot, don’t stop it. U-boot will tftp load uEnv.txt which will tftp load the kernel, dtb, and cpio. Use root as user to login to the A53 terminal.

You can run ./demo4 or cat demo4 and follow the commands.

When the Physical Machine Monitor starts, you will see an output similar to

/hvl/lkvm run --debug --vxworks --rsld --pmm --debug-nohostfs --transport mmio --shmem-addr 0x37000000 --shmem-size 0x1000000 --cpus 1 --mem 128 --no-dtb --debug --rng --network mode=tap,tapif=tap0,trans=mmio --vproxy

You can see the results of the entropy test in the Zephyr console in the 2nd UART and interact with the system using shell commands.

E.g. Show the network interface configuration on Zephyr and ping the back-end (PetaLinux) runtime.

When you are ready to stop, from the QEMU pane input Ctrl-A x and the QEMU instance will terminate.
