Hi,
Sorry for the perhaps dumb question, but I'm new to the whole ARM infrastructure. I'm following a read me file for running the ARM's example Linux distribution on FVPs (using command line) and I'm unable to find a FVP_EB_V7.axf file mentioned in the command line. It refers to the file using -a boot/FVP/FVP_EB_V7/FVP_EB_V7.axf, (under distribution directory), but all I can see in that directory is a readme file.
Thanks,
Amin
Hi Amin,
Can you let me know where you got the ARM's example Linux distribution on FVPs and/or this readme from? FVP_EB doesn't sound right to me. Do you need a specific core to simulate?
Cheers
Tom
Hi Tom,
I downloaded it from the DS-5 download page, as it does not come standard along with other examples when you download the DS-5 itself. After importing the example, I can see the "distribution" directory created in my eclipse workspace. It has a "boot/FVP" directory inside, which has a readme file with the instructions to boot the distribution from the command line, but axf files are missing. There are two make files in the boot directory however: Makefile.FVP_EB_V7 and FVP_VE_V7.
My ultimate goal is to simulate Android on a CortexA9 core and I read that DS-5 comes with a Fixed Virtual Platform that has a 4 core A9 CPU and thought it as the best means to proceed. However, I'm still in the early steps and trying to learn about the environment by reading the readme files and checking out examples.
