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 | |
98 | @end enumerate | |
99 | ||

0806e3f6 | 145 | @c man begin OPTIONS |
9d4520d0 | 146 | @var{disk_image} is a raw hard disk image for IDE hard disk 0. |
ec410fc9 FB |
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 | |
4690764b | 178 | @item -initrd file |
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. | |

209 | ||
1f673135 FB |
210 | @item -macaddr addr |
211 | ||
212 | Set the mac address of the first interface (the format is | |
213 | aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff in hexa). The mac address is incremented for each | |
214 | new network interface. | |
215 | ||
52c00a5f FB |
216 | @item -tun-fd fd |
217 | Assumes @var{fd} talks to a tap/tun host network interface and use | |
218 | it. Read @url{http://bellard.org/qemu/tetrinet.html} to have an | |

510 | @section Disk Images | |
511 | ||
512 | @subsection Raw disk images | |
513 | ||
514 | The disk images can simply be raw images of the hard disk. You can | |
515 | create them with the command: | |
516 | @example | |
a1b74fe8 | 517 | dd of=myimage bs=1024 seek=mysize count=0 |
1f47a922 FB |
518 | @end example |
519 | where @var{myimage} is the image filename and @var{mysize} is its size | |
520 | in kilobytes. | |
521 | ||
522 | @subsection Snapshot mode | |
523 | ||
524 | If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are | |
525 | considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in | |
526 | a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the | |
527 | write back to the raw disk images by pressing @key{C-a s}. | |
528 | ||
529 | NOTE: The snapshot mode only works with raw disk images. | |
530 | ||
531 | @subsection Copy On Write disk images | |
532 | ||
533 | QEMU also supports user mode Linux | |
534 | (@url{http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/}) Copy On Write (COW) | |
535 | disk images. The COW disk images are much smaller than normal images | |
536 | as they store only modified sectors. They also permit the use of the | |
537 | same disk image template for many users. | |
538 | ||
539 | To create a COW disk images, use the command: | |
540 | ||
541 | @example | |
0806e3f6 | 542 | qemu-mkcow -f myrawimage.bin mycowimage.cow |
1f47a922 FB |
543 | @end example |
544 | ||
545 | @file{myrawimage.bin} is a raw image you want to use as original disk | |
546 | image. It will never be written to. | |
547 | ||
548 | @file{mycowimage.cow} is the COW disk image which is created by | |
0806e3f6 | 549 | @code{qemu-mkcow}. You can use it directly with the @option{-hdx} |
1f47a922 FB |
550 | options. You must not modify the original raw disk image if you use |
551 | COW images, as COW images only store the modified sectors from the raw | |
552 | disk image. QEMU stores the original raw disk image name and its | |
553 | modified time in the COW disk image so that chances of mistakes are | |
554 | reduced. | |
555 | ||
9d0fe224 FB |
556 | If the raw disk image is not read-only, by pressing @key{C-a s} you |
557 | can flush the COW disk image back into the raw disk image, as in | |
558 | snapshot mode. | |
1f47a922 FB |
559 | |
560 | COW disk images can also be created without a corresponding raw disk | |
561 | image. It is useful to have a big initial virtual disk image without | |
562 | using much disk space. Use: | |
563 | ||
564 | @example | |
0806e3f6 | 565 | qemu-mkcow mycowimage.cow 1024 |
1f47a922 FB |
566 | @end example |
567 | ||
568 | to create a 1 gigabyte empty COW disk image. | |
569 | ||
570 | NOTES: | |
571 | @enumerate | |
572 | @item | |
573 | COW disk images must be created on file systems supporting | |
574 | @emph{holes} such as ext2 or ext3. | |
575 | @item | |
576 | Since holes are used, the displayed size of the COW disk image is not | |
577 | the real one. To know it, use the @code{ls -ls} command. | |
578 | @end enumerate | |
579 | ||

580 | @subsection Convert VMware disk images to raw disk images |
581 | ||
582 | You can use the tool @file{vmdk2raw} to convert VMware disk images to | |
583 | raw disk images directly usable by QEMU. The syntax is: | |
584 | @example | |
585 | vmdk2raw vmware_image output_image | |

588 | @section Network emulation |
589 | ||
590 | QEMU simulates up to 6 networks cards (NE2000 boards). Each card can | |
591 | be connected to a specific host network interface. | |
592 | ||
593 | @subsection Using tun/tap network interface | |
594 | ||
595 | This is the standard way to emulate network. QEMU adds a virtual | |
596 | network device on your host (called @code{tun0}), and you can then | |
597 | configure it as if it was a real ethernet card. | |
598 | ||
599 | As an example, you can download the @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} | |
600 | archive and copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and | |
601 | configure properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} | |
602 | contained in @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify | |
603 | that your host kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the | |
604 | device @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present. | |
605 | ||
606 | See @ref{direct_linux_boot} to have an example of network use with a | |
607 | Linux distribution. | |
608 | ||
609 | @subsection Using the user mode network stack | |
610 | ||
443f1376 FB |
611 | By using the option @option{-user-net} or if you have no tun/tap init |
612 | script, QEMU uses a completely user mode network stack (you don't need | |
613 | root priviledge to use the virtual network). The virtual network | |
614 | configuration is the following: | |
9d4fb82e FB |
615 | |
616 | @example | |
617 | ||
618 | QEMU Virtual Machine <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet | |
619 | (10.0.2.x) | (10.0.2.2) | |
620 | | | |
621 | ----> DNS | |
622 | (10.0.2.3) | |
623 | @end example | |
624 | ||
625 | The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all | |
626 | incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically | |
627 | configure the network in the QEMU VM. | |
628 | ||
629 | In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping | |
630 | the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range | |
631 | 10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server. | |
632 | ||
b415a407 FB |
633 | Note that @code{ping} is not supported reliably to the internet as it |
634 | would require root priviledges. It means you can only ping the local | |
635 | router (10.0.2.2). | |
636 | ||
443f1376 FB |
637 | The user mode network is currently only supported on a Unix host. |

640 | @section Direct Linux Boot | |
1f673135 FB |
641 | |
642 | This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without | |
643 | having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux | |
644 | kernel testing. The QEMU network configuration is also explained. | |
645 | ||
646 | @enumerate | |
647 | @item | |
648 | Download the archive @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} containing a Linux | |
649 | kernel and a disk image. | |
650 | ||
651 | @item Optional: If you want network support (for example to launch X11 examples), you | |
652 | must copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and configure | |
653 | properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} contained in | |
654 | @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify that your host | |
655 | kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the device | |
656 | @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present. | |
657 | ||
658 | When network is enabled, there is a virtual network connection between | |
659 | the host kernel and the emulated kernel. The emulated kernel is seen | |
660 | from the host kernel at IP address 172.20.0.2 and the host kernel is | |
661 | seen from the emulated kernel at IP address 172.20.0.1. | |
662 | ||
663 | @item Launch @code{qemu.sh}. You should have the following output: | |
664 | ||
665 | @example | |
666 | > ./qemu.sh | |

839 | 2.6 kernel, you must also ensure that the 'HZ' define is set to 100 | |
d5a0b50c | 840 | (1000 is the default) as QEMU cannot currently emulate timers at |
1f673135 | 841 | frequencies greater than 100 Hz on host Linux systems < 2.6. In |
4690764b | 842 | @file{include/asm/param.h}, replace: |

866 | @section GDB usage |
867 | ||
868 | QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do | |
0806e3f6 | 869 | 'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state. |
da415d54 | 870 | |
9d4520d0 | 871 | In order to use gdb, launch qemu with the '-s' option. It will wait for a |
da415d54 FB |
872 | gdb connection: |
873 | @example | |
6c9bf893 | 874 | > qemu -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda" |
da415d54 FB |
875 | Connected to host network interface: tun0 |
876 | Waiting gdb connection on port 1234 | |
877 | @end example | |
878 | ||
879 | Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable: | |
880 | @example | |
881 | > gdb vmlinux | |
882 | @end example | |
883 | ||
884 | In gdb, connect to QEMU: | |
885 | @example | |
6c9bf893 | 886 | (gdb) target remote localhost:1234 |
da415d54 FB |
887 | @end example |
888 | ||
889 | Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel: | |
890 | @example | |
891 | (gdb) c | |
892 | @end example | |
893 | ||
0806e3f6 FB |
894 | Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code: |
895 | ||
896 | @enumerate | |
897 | @item | |
898 | Use @code{info reg} to display all the CPU registers. | |
899 | @item | |
900 | Use @code{x/10i $eip} to display the code at the PC position. | |
901 | @item | |
902 | Use @code{set architecture i8086} to dump 16 bit code. Then use | |
903 | @code{x/10i $cs*16+*eip} to dump the code at the PC position. | |
904 | @end enumerate | |

906 | @section Target OS specific information |
907 | ||
908 | @subsection Linux | |
909 | ||
15a34c63 FB |
910 | To have access to SVGA graphic modes under X11, use the @code{vesa} or |
911 | the @code{cirrus} X11 driver. For optimal performances, use 16 bit | |
912 | color depth in the guest and the host OS. | |
1a084f3d | 913 | |
e3371e62 FB |
914 | When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, you should add the option |
915 | @code{clock=pit} on the kernel command line because the 2.6 Linux | |
916 | kernels make very strict real time clock checks by default that QEMU | |
917 | cannot simulate exactly. | |
918 | ||
1a084f3d FB |
919 | @subsection Windows |
920 | ||
921 | If you have a slow host, using Windows 95 is better as it gives the | |

935 | idle. You can install the utility from | |
936 | @url{http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip} to solve this | |
937 | problem. Note that no such tool is needed for NT, 2000 or XP. | |

939 | @subsubsection Windows 2000 disk full problems |
940 | ||
941 | Currently (release 0.6.0) QEMU has a bug which gives a @code{disk | |
942 | full} error during installation of some releases of Windows 2000. The | |
943 | workaround is to stop QEMU as soon as you notice that your disk image | |
944 | size is growing too fast (monitor it with @code{ls -ls}). Then | |
945 | relaunch QEMU to continue the installation. If you still experience | |
946 | the problem, relaunch QEMU again. | |
947 | ||
948 | Future QEMU releases are likely to correct this bug. | |
949 | ||
950 | @subsubsection Windows XP security problems | |
951 | ||
952 | Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security | |
953 | error when booting: | |
954 | @example | |
955 | A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the | |
956 | license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6. | |
957 | @end example | |
958 | The only known workaround is to boot in Safe mode | |
959 | without networking support. | |
960 | ||
961 | Future QEMU releases are likely to correct this bug. | |

386405f7 | 1043 | |
1f673135 | 1044 | @section Quick Start |
df0f11a0 | 1045 | |
1f673135 FB |
1046 | In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable |
1047 | itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it. | |
386405f7 | 1048 | |
1f673135 | 1049 | @itemize |
386405f7 | 1050 | |
1f673135 FB |
1051 | @item On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native |
1052 | libraries: | |
386405f7 | 1053 | |
1f673135 FB |
1054 | @example |
1055 | qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls | |
1056 | @end example | |
386405f7 | 1057 | |
1f673135 FB |
1058 | @code{-L /} tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a |
1059 | @file{/} prefix. | |
386405f7 | 1060 | |
1f673135 | 1061 | @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 | 1062 | |
1f673135 FB |
1063 | @example |
1064 | qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls | |
1065 | @end example | |
386405f7 | 1066 | |
1f673135 FB |
1067 | @item On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc |
1068 | (@file{qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). Ensure that | |
1069 | @code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} is not set: | |
df0f11a0 | 1070 | |
1f673135 FB |
1071 | @example |
1072 | unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH | |
1073 | @end example | |
1eb87257 | 1074 | |
1f673135 | 1075 | Then you can launch the precompiled @file{ls} x86 executable: |
1eb87257 | 1076 | |
1f673135 FB |
1077 | @example |
1078 | qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls | |
1079 | @end example | |
1080 | You can look at @file{qemu-binfmt-conf.sh} so that | |
1081 | QEMU is automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to | |
1082 | launch x86 executables. It requires the @code{binfmt_misc} module in the | |
1083 | Linux kernel. | |
1eb87257 | 1084 | |
1f673135 FB |
1085 | @item The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things such as: |
1086 | @example | |
1087 | qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386 | |
