virtplat

My QEMU-based virtual platform setup

How to build

Get source code for qemu/edk2/linux/busybox through this script. (download the source and store them on the host instead of the container)

./get-source.sh

• replace podman with docker if you prefer to use docker

git clone https://github.com/clachan/virtplat
podman build --tag virtplat --jobs 32 .

or

git clone https://github.com/clachan/virtplat
./build.sh

How to use

podman run -it --rm --privileged --name my_virtplat virtplat
./start_qemu.sh

or

./run.sh
./start_qemu.sh

How to debug kernel

Open another terminal to connect to my_virtplat

podman exec -it my_virtplat /bin/bash

or

./run.sh

then run

./start_qemu.sh

to start qemu.

If you want to use Ubuntu as the root file system (2nd stage), type:

./start_qemu.sh virtplat_rootfs=ubuntu

Start gdb

./debug_linux.sh

Set breakpoint and happy debugging!

Quick Notes

• Add nokaslr kernel option
