OK, this worked perfectly. Thank you! Is there a reason we need so much memory? I've got the command you sent working with -m size=1025M, but I can't go lower. I've looked at machine.c code for the platform (spike) but that seems to adjust to the size provided by hardware. ________________________________ From: Zhuang, Siwei (Data61, Kensington NSW) <Siwei.Zhuang@data61.csiro.au> Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2020 7:54 PM To: Porter, Jeremy <porter.188@buckeyemail.osu.edu>; devel@sel4.systems <devel@sel4.systems> Subject: Re: QEMU vs Spike on RISC-V Debugging Hi Jeremy, Running seL4 in QEMU, you should use the following command, $> qemu-system-riscv64 -machine spike -cpu rv64 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -m size=4095M -bios none -kernel images/hello-image-riscv-spike Making sure you use QEMU > v4.2.0 - Siwei ________________________________________ From: Devel <devel-bounces@sel4.systems> on behalf of Porter, Jeremy <porter.188@buckeyemail.osu.edu> Sent: Friday, 13 November 2020 4:25 AM To: devel@sel4.systems Subject: [seL4] QEMU vs Spike on RISC-V Debugging I've built a simple hello for RISC-V. It runs in Spike as expected. In QEMU it doesn't run. It stops at loading the kernel in elfloader/src/common.c at the lines below: 199 printf("ELF-loading 199\n"); 200 /* Copy the data. */ 201 unpack_elf_to_paddr(elf, dest_paddr); I'd really like to use QEMU/GDB to debug my kernel. Can anyone shed some light on what's happening here?
