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>" 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=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/Image@0x80080000 \
--data cluster0.cpu0=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/fvp-base-gicv3-psci-custom.dtb@0x83000000 \
-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path=${YOCTO_DEPLOY_IMGS_DIR}/core-image-minimal-fvp-base.wic
If you have built a configuration without a ramdisk, you can use the following command in U-boot to start Linux: VExpress64# booti 0x80080000 - 0x83000000
