RdV3-R1 FVP - OS Installation issue

Mehala P

Hi Team,

Facing OS installation issue, while install & booting to OS with EDKII BIOS.
Using the RdV3-R1 FVP Arm Ecosystem FVPs – Arm Developer , downloaded the source with the help of XML 
https://git.gitlab.arm.com/infra-solutions/reference-design/infra-refdesign-manifests/-/blob/main/rdv3r1.xml?ref_type=heads .
TAG information:
 
FVP Tag - RD-INFRA-2024.09.30 
FVP Version - 11.27.25
With this source, able to boot to UEFI shell with EDK II BIOS.
OS Boot:
 
Reference: Install and Boot a Linux distribution — Neoverse Reference Design Platform Software documentation (arm.com)
With the reference, tried below OS installation on FVP:
  1. debian-12.7.0-arm64-netinst.iso - Installation is getting started but terminated during the early installation stage. 
  2. ubuntu-24.04.1-live-server-arm64.iso - Facing hang.
    Also, enabled serial debugging in Linux installation.
    In the GRUB,
    • Press the key 'e' to edit
    • Included the 'console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200'
    • Boot by pressing 'CTRL+X'
    But the installation process of Ubuntu get hang. 
 

Our system configuration to build and boot to OS.
 
Processor           - 12th Gen Intel® Core  i5-12500 × 12
OS             - Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Memory          - 32.0 GiB

Please let us know is there any HW/SW recommendation for OS installation & boot on FVP or let us know what configuration is used on your end to boot to OS?
Thanks,

    Hi ,

    Thank you for your quick response, Tom. I encountered the same behavior while testing on RdV3R1Cfg1 FVP as well.

    I'm eagerly waiting for your reply once your testing is complete.

    WinPE boot issue:

    I'm having one more query regarding WinPE boot on both RdN2 & RdV3R1Cfg1.

    We are facing WinPE boot issue with the latest Tag RD-INFRA-2024.09.30.
    Using the RdN2 FVP from ARM Ecosystem , downloaded the source with the help of RdN2 xml file. 
    FVP and System Configuration:
    • Rd-N2 FVP Version 11.27.25 with the latest firmware Tag RD-INFRA-2024.09.30.
    • According to prerequisites, Host machine with Ubuntu 22.04 with total disk space 1TB and 32GB of RAM. Additionally, having 128GB swap space [virtual memory].
    WinPE ISO creation:
    On referring the installation guide, downloaded the latest version of ADK and ADK Windows PE add-on of version 10.1.26100.1.
    Followed the below steps for the creation of ISO based on WinPE guide:
    copype arm64 E:\WinPE_arm64
    cd E:\WinPE_arm64\media\EFI\Microsoft\Boot
    bcdedit /store BCD /set {default} ems ON
    MakeWinPEMedia /ISO E:\WinPE_arm64 C:\WinPE_arm64\WinPE_arm64.iso
    Booting WinPE ISO:
    1. For RdN2:
    As per the WinPE boot guide, tried booting with the command “./distro.sh -p rdn2 -d /absolute/path/to/WinPE_arm64.iso”. While booting it hangs at this page,
    After a while, it proceeds to "loading files..." but then hangs on a blank screen for overnight.

     2. For RdV2R1Cfg1:

    Facing the below synchronous exception.

    Kindly give suggestions regarding the Boot issues of Ubuntu 24 and WinPE.

    Thanks,

    Mehala P
