1 Synopsys VDK Software Development Platform
6 The Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK) Family for ARM Cortex Products
7 consists of a set of virtual prototypes that provide a virtualizer for
8 the ARM core variants. The VDK is a standalone package that runs on an
11 Buildroot will generate the kernel image and a minimal root filesystem.
19 Configuring Buildroot is pretty simple, just execute:
21 $ make snps_aarch64_vdk_defconfig
23 Build the rootfs and kernel
24 ---------------------------
26 Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will
27 download the packages' sources.
29 You may now build your rootfs with:
33 (This may take a while)
38 After building, you should obtain this tree:
44 Installing your rootfs and Image
45 ================================
47 Now copy the content of the output/images folder to the VDK' skins
50 $ cp rootfs.ext2 Image <vdk_installation_path>/skins/Vanilla-Cortex/ARMv8
54 ================================
56 Go the VDK' installation root and execute the 'start' script:
58 $ cd <vdk_installation_path>
61 The VP Explorer application will be executed, starting the simulation
