Petalinux supports the Quick EMUlation (QEMU) emulator. This is useful if users do not have access to Physical board. Users can use the following steps to boot Linux on QEMU. Users can pass qemu-args to pass the network information. The hardware used in this tutorial is for a ZCU102 which has the GEM enabled at GEM3. This command will look slightly different if a different GEM is used.
The hostfwd definitions along with user network arguments, that is , -net nic -net nic -net nic -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1) hostfwd=tcp:<host address>:<host port used for forwarding>-<guest address>:<guest port>
petalinux-boot --qemu --kernel --qemu-args "-net nic -net nic -net nic -net nic,netdev=gem3 -netdev user,id=gem3,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:1540-10.0.2.15:1534"
Tip The Login is petalinux by default.
Note Use Ctrl A + x to exit the QEMU
