In the local.conf file, MACHINE should be set as follows: MACHINE ?= "fvp-base-arm32"
bash$ bitbake core-image-minimal
To Run the Fixed Virtual Platform simulation tool you must download "Armv8-A Base Platform FVP" from Arm developer (This might require the user to register) from this address: https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/simulation-models/fixed-virtual-platforms and install it on your host PC.

Once done, do the following to build and run an image: bash$ bitbake core-image-minimal bash$ export YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR="<yocto-build-dir/tmp/deploy/images/fvp-base-arm32>" bash$ cd <path-to-Base_RevC_AEMv8A_pkg-dir/models/Linux64_GCC-X.X/>
bash$ ./FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A -C bp.virtio_net.enabled=1 \
-C cache_state_modelled=0 \
-C bp.secureflashloader.fname=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/bl1-fvp.bin \
-C bp.flashloader0.fname=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/fip-fvp.bin \
--data cluster0.cpu0=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/Image@0x80080000 \
-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/core-image-minimal-fvp-base-arm32.wic \
-C cluster0.cpu0.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster0.cpu1.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster0.cpu2.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster0.cpu3.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster1.cpu0.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster1.cpu1.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster1.cpu2.CONFIG64=0 \
-C cluster1.cpu3.CONFIG64=0 \
If you have built a configuration without a ramdisk, you can use the following command in U-boot to start Linux: fvp32# bootz 0x80080000 - 0x82000000
