Installing Fedora aarch64 with QEMU and libvirt
These steps will work on both x86 and aarch64 hardware. If running on actual aarch64 hardware, the virt-install commands should automatically request KVM for maximum performance.
Get the necessary bits
- Grab the latest qemu-system-aarch64
- Minimum required version: qemu-2.2.0-0.1.rc1.fc22
- Also available in fedora-virt-preview for F21
- Grab the latest libvirt
- Minimum required version: libvirt-1.2.10-3.fc22
- Also available in fedora-virt-preview for F21
- Make sure to restart libvirtd after update
- Grab virt-manager from git
git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/virt-manager.git
- To use virt-install from git, just do:
cd virt-manager; ./virt-install ...
- Grab UEFI builds for QEMU and AARCH64
- Note: These bits are not part of fedora due to licensing issues. See Testing_secureboot_with_KVM#EDK2_Licensing_Issues for more info.
- Install Gerd's nightly firmware repo, as described here: https://www.kraxel.org/repos/
- Install the relevant bits:
sudo yum install edk2.git-aarch64
- As of 2014-11-21, we need to add one small bit after first install:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI_VARS.fd bs=1M count=64
Importing F21 aarch64 disk image
- Grab the disk image
- Landing page is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/FoundationModelQuickStart
- Latest bits end up here: https://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/fedora-arm/aarch64/
- This example uses: https://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/fedora-arm/aarch64/F21-20141017-foundation-v8-RC1.tar.xz
- Extract the image, move it to /var/lib/libvirt/images
- From virt-manager.git checkout, run:
sudo ./virt-install \ --name f21-aarch64-import --ram 2048 --arch aarch64 \ --boot loader_ro=yes,loader_type=pflash,loader=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI-pflash.img,nvram_template=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI_VARS.fd \ --os-variant fedora21 --import \ --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/F21-20141017-foundation-v8.img
- The guest should start booting. Log in with user=root, password=fedora
- Note: Networking doesn't work automatically for this image, you'll need to change the config inside the VM to use DHCP
Installing F21 aarch64 from URL
- This example uses the F21 aarch64 beta install tree: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/21_Beta/Server/aarch64/os/
- From the virt-manager.git checkout, run:
sudo ./virt-install \ --name f21-aarch64-urlinst --ram 2048 --arch aarch64 \ --boot loader_ro=yes,loader_type=pflash,loader=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI-pflash.img,nvram_template=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI_VARS.fd \ --disk size=8 \ --location http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/21_Beta/Server/aarch64/os/
Installing F21 aarch64 from CDROM
- Grab the ISO:
- This example uses the F21 aarch64 beta DVD: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/21_Beta/Server/aarch64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-aarch64-21_Beta.iso
- Move it to /var/lib/libvirt/images
- From the virt-manager.git checkout, run:
sudo ./virt-install \ --name f21-aarch64-cdrom --ram 2048 --arch aarch64 \ --boot loader_ro=yes,loader_type=pflash,loader=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI-pflash.img,nvram_template=/usr/share/edk2.git/aarch64/QEMU_EFI_VARS.fd \ --disk size=8 --os-variant fedora21 \ --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-Server-DVD-aarch64-21_Beta.iso
