Hi,
I am currently trying to pass a device for ethernet access through qemu to the vm. However there seems to be some issue since the device is not passed through correctly.
I have looked at some resources for guidance on how to solve it: https://github.com/seL4/sel4webserver (webserver example) https://lists.sel4.systems/hyperkitty/list/devel@sel4.systems/message/X34TX7... (old devel thread)
And the important parts for this to work seems to be untyped_mmios for the vm (in devices.camkes for qemu-arm-virt):
vm0.untyped_mmios = [ "0x8040000:12", // Interrupt Controller Virtual CPU interface (Virtual Machine view) /* TODO: QEMU PCI addresses could change - ideally need to decode from pcie node */ "0x10040000:17", // QEMU PCI MMIO "0x3eff0000:16", // QEMU PCI IO ports "0x40000000:29", // Linux kernel memory regions ];
And passing the device to QEMU in the simulation script: $ sudo ./simulate --extra-qemu-args="-netdev tap,id=mynet0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet0,mac=52:55:00:d1:55:01"
However when listing the devices with "ip a" on the VM it does not show an eth0 device:
# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: tunl0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop qlen 1 link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 3: ip6tnl0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1452 qdisc noop qlen 1 link/tunnel6 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
But on the host the device that is passed to qemu can be seen: $ ip link show tap0 6: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 62:43:43:54:2d:e6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I am not sure if I missed something or if it is the QEMU addresses for the pci region that are not correct. Is there any output during boot or build that could give insight in what went wrong when it tries to passthrough the device? Also are there are any resources or guidelines on how to decode the pcie node? (Since I assume this has to be done inside the vm with the limited selection of commands available).
Best regards, Olof
