RdV3-R1 FVP - OS Installation issue

Mehala P 10 months ago

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:

debian-12.7.0-arm64-netinst.iso - Installation is getting started but terminated during the early installation stage.
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.

Here attached the screenshots /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/495/Bootissue.zip

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

Disk Capacity - 1.0 TB

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,

Mehala P

I don't have very good news. Ubuntu 24 is currently not supported, it's a known issue in reference firmware stack and it's being worked on, but I cannot tell you when it's likely to be mended.

For RD-N2, I recommend applying this patch to the edk2-platforms checkout:

diff --git a/Platform/ARM/SgiPkg/SgiMemoryMap2.dsc.inc b/Platform/ARM/SgiPkg/SgiMemoryMap2.dsc.inc

which adds generic timer and watchdog timer info.

I currently have no info on booting WinPE on RD-V3 R1.
