16 | QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to |
17 | achieve good emulation speed. | |

24 | Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for |
25 | example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can | |
26 | be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the | |
27 | PC or to debug system code. | |

30 | User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch |
31 | Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to | |
32 | launch the Wine Windows API emulator (@url{http://www.winehq.org}) or | |
33 | to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging. | |

1f673135 | 37 | As QEMU requires no host kernel driver to run, it is very safe and |
1eb20527 | 38 | easy to use. |

79 | ||
52c00a5f | 80 | The QEMU System emulator simulates a complete PC. |
0806e3f6 FB |
81 | |
82 | In order to meet specific user needs, two versions of QEMU are | |
83 | available: | |
84 | ||
85 | @enumerate | |
86 | ||
87 | @item | |
15a34c63 FB |
88 | @code{qemu-fast} uses the host Memory Management Unit (MMU) to |
89 | simulate the x86 MMU. It is @emph{fast} but has limitations because | |
90 | the whole 4 GB address space cannot be used and some memory mapped | |
91 | peripherials cannot be emulated accurately yet. Therefore, a specific | |
92 | guest Linux kernel can be used (@xref{linux_compile}) as guest OS. | |
0806e3f6 FB |
93 | |
94 | @item | |
285dc330 FB |
95 | @code{qemu} uses a software MMU. It is about @emph{two times |
96 | slower} but gives a more accurate emulation. | |
0806e3f6 FB |
97 | |

147 | |
148 | General options: | |
149 | @table @option | |
2be3bc02 FB |
150 | @item -fda file |
151 | @item -fdb file | |
be3edd95 FB |
152 | Use @var{file} as floppy disk 0/1 image (@xref{disk_images}). You can |
153 | use the host floppy by using @file{/dev/fd0} as filename. | |
2be3bc02 | 154 | |
ec410fc9 FB |
155 | @item -hda file |
156 | @item -hdb file | |
181f1558 FB |
157 | @item -hdc file |
158 | @item -hdd file | |
2be3bc02 | 159 | Use @var{file} as hard disk 0, 1, 2 or 3 image (@xref{disk_images}). |
1f47a922 | 160 | |
181f1558 FB |
161 | @item -cdrom file |
162 | Use @var{file} as CD-ROM image (you cannot use @option{-hdc} and and | |
be3edd95 FB |
163 | @option{-cdrom} at the same time). You can use the host CD-ROM by |
164 | using @file{/dev/cdrom} as filename. | |
181f1558 | 165 | |
1f673135 FB |
166 | @item -boot [a|c|d] |
167 | Boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d). Hard disk boot is | |
2be3bc02 | 168 | the default. |
1f47a922 | 169 | |
181f1558 | 170 | @item -snapshot |
1f47a922 FB |
171 | Write to temporary files instead of disk image files. In this case, |
172 | the raw disk image you use is not written back. You can however force | |
173 | the write back by pressing @key{C-a s} (@xref{disk_images}). | |
ec410fc9 FB |
174 | |
175 | @item -m megs | |
15a34c63 | 176 | Set virtual RAM size to @var{megs} megabytes. Default is 128 MB. |
ec410fc9 | 177 | |

0806e3f6 FB |
179 | Use @var{file} as initial ram disk. |
180 | ||
0806e3f6 FB |
181 | @item -nographic |
182 | ||
183 | Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option, | |
184 | you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple | |
185 | command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on | |
186 | the console. Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel | |
187 | with a serial console. | |
188 | ||
a8c490cd FB |
189 | @item -enable-audio |
190 | ||
191 | The SB16 emulation is disabled by default as it may give problems with | |
192 | Windows. You can enable it manually with this option. | |
193 | ||
15a34c63 FB |
194 | @item -localtime |
195 | Set the real time clock to local time (the default is to UTC | |
196 | time). This option is needed to have correct date in MS-DOS or | |
197 | Windows. | |

475 | @section Disk Images | |
476 | ||
477 | @subsection Raw disk images | |
478 | ||
479 | The disk images can simply be raw images of the hard disk. You can | |
480 | create them with the command: | |
481 | @example | |
a1b74fe8 | 482 | dd of=myimage bs=1024 seek=mysize count=0 |
1f47a922 FB |
483 | @end example |
484 | where @var{myimage} is the image filename and @var{mysize} is its size | |
485 | in kilobytes. | |
486 | ||
487 | @subsection Snapshot mode | |
488 | ||
489 | If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are | |
490 | considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in | |
491 | a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the | |
492 | write back to the raw disk images by pressing @key{C-a s}. | |
493 | ||
494 | NOTE: The snapshot mode only works with raw disk images. | |
495 | ||
496 | @subsection Copy On Write disk images | |
497 | ||
498 | QEMU also supports user mode Linux | |
499 | (@url{http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/}) Copy On Write (COW) | |
500 | disk images. The COW disk images are much smaller than normal images | |
501 | as they store only modified sectors. They also permit the use of the | |
502 | same disk image template for many users. | |
503 | ||
504 | To create a COW disk images, use the command: | |
505 | ||
506 | @example | |
0806e3f6 | 507 | qemu-mkcow -f myrawimage.bin mycowimage.cow |
1f47a922 FB |
508 | @end example |
509 | ||
510 | @file{myrawimage.bin} is a raw image you want to use as original disk | |
511 | image. It will never be written to. | |
512 | ||
513 | @file{mycowimage.cow} is the COW disk image which is created by | |
0806e3f6 | 514 | @code{qemu-mkcow}. You can use it directly with the @option{-hdx} |
1f47a922 FB |
515 | options. You must not modify the original raw disk image if you use |
516 | COW images, as COW images only store the modified sectors from the raw | |
517 | disk image. QEMU stores the original raw disk image name and its | |
518 | modified time in the COW disk image so that chances of mistakes are | |
519 | reduced. | |
520 | ||
9d0fe224 FB |
521 | If the raw disk image is not read-only, by pressing @key{C-a s} you |
522 | can flush the COW disk image back into the raw disk image, as in | |
523 | snapshot mode. | |
1f47a922 FB |
524 | |
525 | COW disk images can also be created without a corresponding raw disk | |
526 | image. It is useful to have a big initial virtual disk image without | |
527 | using much disk space. Use: | |
528 | ||
529 | @example | |
0806e3f6 | 530 | qemu-mkcow mycowimage.cow 1024 |
1f47a922 FB |
531 | @end example |
532 | ||
533 | to create a 1 gigabyte empty COW disk image. | |
534 | ||
535 | NOTES: | |
536 | @enumerate | |
537 | @item | |
538 | COW disk images must be created on file systems supporting | |
539 | @emph{holes} such as ext2 or ext3. | |
540 | @item | |
541 | Since holes are used, the displayed size of the COW disk image is not | |
542 | the real one. To know it, use the @code{ls -ls} command. | |
543 | @end enumerate | |
544 | ||

545 | @subsection Convert VMware disk images to raw disk images |
546 | ||
547 | You can use the tool @file{vmdk2raw} to convert VMware disk images to | |
548 | raw disk images directly usable by QEMU. The syntax is: | |
549 | @example | |
550 | vmdk2raw vmware_image output_image | |

553 | @section Network emulation |
554 | ||
555 | QEMU simulates up to 6 networks cards (NE2000 boards). Each card can | |
556 | be connected to a specific host network interface. | |
557 | ||
558 | @subsection Using tun/tap network interface | |
559 | ||
560 | This is the standard way to emulate network. QEMU adds a virtual | |
561 | network device on your host (called @code{tun0}), and you can then | |
562 | configure it as if it was a real ethernet card. | |
563 | ||
564 | As an example, you can download the @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} | |
565 | archive and copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and | |
566 | configure properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} | |
567 | contained in @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify | |
568 | that your host kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the | |
569 | device @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present. | |
570 | ||
571 | See @ref{direct_linux_boot} to have an example of network use with a | |
572 | Linux distribution. | |
573 | ||
574 | @subsection Using the user mode network stack | |
575 | ||
443f1376 FB |
576 | By using the option @option{-user-net} or if you have no tun/tap init |
577 | script, QEMU uses a completely user mode network stack (you don't need | |
578 | root priviledge to use the virtual network). The virtual network | |
579 | configuration is the following: | |
9d4fb82e FB |
580 | |
581 | @example | |
582 | ||
583 | QEMU Virtual Machine <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet | |
584 | (10.0.2.x) | (10.0.2.2) | |
585 | | | |
586 | ----> DNS | |
587 | (10.0.2.3) | |
588 | @end example | |
589 | ||
590 | The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all | |
591 | incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically | |
592 | configure the network in the QEMU VM. | |
593 | ||
594 | In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping | |
595 | the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range | |
596 | 10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server. | |
597 | ||
b415a407 FB |
598 | Note that @code{ping} is not supported reliably to the internet as it |
599 | would require root priviledges. It means you can only ping the local | |
600 | router (10.0.2.2). | |
601 | ||
443f1376 FB |
602 | The user mode network is currently only supported on a Unix host. |

605 | @section Direct Linux Boot | |
1f673135 FB |
606 | |
607 | This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without | |
608 | having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux | |
609 | kernel testing. The QEMU network configuration is also explained. | |
610 | ||
611 | @enumerate | |
612 | @item | |
613 | Download the archive @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} containing a Linux | |
614 | kernel and a disk image. | |
615 | ||
616 | @item Optional: If you want network support (for example to launch X11 examples), you | |
617 | must copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and configure | |
618 | properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} contained in | |
619 | @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify that your host | |
620 | kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the device | |
621 | @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present. | |
622 | ||
623 | When network is enabled, there is a virtual network connection between | |
624 | the host kernel and the emulated kernel. The emulated kernel is seen | |
625 | from the host kernel at IP address 172.20.0.2 and the host kernel is | |
626 | seen from the emulated kernel at IP address 172.20.0.1. | |
627 | ||
628 | @item Launch @code{qemu.sh}. You should have the following output: | |
629 | ||
630 | @example | |
631 | > ./qemu.sh | |

285dc330 | 759 | You can use any linux kernel with QEMU. However, if you want to use |
1f673135 FB |
760 | @code{qemu-fast} to get maximum performances, you must use a modified |
761 | guest kernel. If you are using a 2.6 guest kernel, you can use | |
762 | directly the patch @file{linux-2.6-qemu-fast.patch} made by Rusty | |
763 | Russel available in the QEMU source archive. Otherwise, you can make the | |

766 | @enumerate |
767 | @item | |
768 | The kernel must be mapped at 0x90000000 (the default is | |

831 | @section GDB usage |
832 | ||
833 | QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do | |
0806e3f6 | 834 | 'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state. |
da415d54 | 835 | |
9d4520d0 | 836 | In order to use gdb, launch qemu with the '-s' option. It will wait for a |
da415d54 FB |
837 | gdb connection: |
838 | @example | |
6c9bf893 | 839 | > qemu -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda" |
da415d54 FB |
840 | Connected to host network interface: tun0 |
841 | Waiting gdb connection on port 1234 | |
842 | @end example | |
843 | ||
844 | Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable: | |
845 | @example | |
846 | > gdb vmlinux | |
847 | @end example | |
848 | ||
849 | In gdb, connect to QEMU: | |
850 | @example | |
6c9bf893 | 851 | (gdb) target remote localhost:1234 |
da415d54 FB |
852 | @end example |
853 | ||
854 | Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel: | |
855 | @example | |
856 | (gdb) c | |
857 | @end example | |
858 | ||
0806e3f6 FB |
859 | Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code: |
860 | ||
861 | @enumerate | |
862 | @item | |
863 | Use @code{info reg} to display all the CPU registers. | |
864 | @item | |
865 | Use @code{x/10i $eip} to display the code at the PC position. | |
866 | @item | |
867 | Use @code{set architecture i8086} to dump 16 bit code. Then use | |
868 | @code{x/10i $cs*16+*eip} to dump the code at the PC position. | |
869 | @end enumerate | |

15a34c63 FB |
875 | To have access to SVGA graphic modes under X11, use the @code{vesa} or |
876 | the @code{cirrus} X11 driver. For optimal performances, use 16 bit | |
877 | color depth in the guest and the host OS. | |
1a084f3d FB |
878 | |
879 | @subsection Windows | |
880 | ||
881 | If you have a slow host, using Windows 95 is better as it gives the | |
882 | best speed. Windows 2000 is also a good choice. | |
883 | ||
15a34c63 FB |
884 | SVGA graphic modes support: QEMU emulates a Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video |
885 | card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize | |
886 | and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color | |
887 | depth in the guest and the host OS. | |
1a084f3d | 888 | |
15a34c63 FB |
889 | CPU usage reduction: Windows 9x does not correctly use the CPU HLT |
890 | instruction. The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when | |
891 | idle. You can install the utility from | |
892 | @url{http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip} to solve this | |
893 | problem. Note that no such tool is needed for NT, 2000 or XP. | |

1f673135 | 967 | @section Quick Start |
df0f11a0 | 968 | |
1f673135 FB |
969 | In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable |
970 | itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it. | |
386405f7 | 971 | |
1f673135 | 972 | @itemize |
386405f7 | 973 | |
1f673135 FB |
974 | @item On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native |
975 | libraries: | |
386405f7 | 976 | |
1f673135 FB |
977 | @example |
978 | qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls | |
979 | @end example | |
386405f7 | 980 | |
1f673135 FB |
981 | @code{-L /} tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a |
982 | @file{/} prefix. | |
386405f7 | 983 | |
1f673135 | 984 | @item Since QEMU is also a linux process, you can launch qemu with qemu (NOTE: you can only do that if you compiled QEMU from the sources): |
386405f7 | 985 | |
1f673135 FB |
986 | @example |
987 | qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls | |
988 | @end example | |
386405f7 | 989 | |
1f673135 FB |
990 | @item On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc |
991 | (@file{qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). Ensure that | |
992 | @code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} is not set: | |
df0f11a0 | 993 | |
1f673135 FB |
994 | @example |
995 | unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH | |
996 | @end example | |
1eb87257 | 997 | |
1f673135 | 998 | Then you can launch the precompiled @file{ls} x86 executable: |
1eb87257 | 999 | |
1f673135 FB |
1000 | @example |
1001 | qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls | |
1002 | @end example | |
1003 | You can look at @file{qemu-binfmt-conf.sh} so that | |
1004 | QEMU is automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to | |
1005 | launch x86 executables. It requires the @code{binfmt_misc} module in the | |
1006 | Linux kernel. | |
1eb87257 | 1007 | |
1f673135 FB |
1008 | @item The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things such as: |
1009 | @example | |
1010 | qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386 | |

1f673135 FB |
1027 | @item Download the binary x86 Wine install |
1028 | (@file{qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). | |
