Re: [QEMU][ARM] Powering on remaining cores, bug?

[Sebastian Mueller]

Hello,

I'm passing my guest image to QEMU with -kernel. As far as I understand it QEMU should perform the actions that a bit of firmware does on real hardware.

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine virtualization=on -machine secure=on -kernel aarch64.elf -display none -serial stdio -smp 2 -s -S

Without the bold marked part, i. e. only EL1 emulation, everything works fine.

Regards Sebastian

You don't say what your QEMU command line is... are you passing
your guest image to QEMU with -kernel or with -bios or with something
else?
