qfw command
===========
Synopsis
--------
::
qfw list
qfw cpus
qfw load [kernel_addr [initrd_addr]]
Description
-----------
The *qfw* command is used to retrieve information from the QEMU firmware.
The *qfw list* sub-command displays the QEMU firmware files.
The *qfw cpus* sub-command displays the available CPUs.
The *qfw load* command is used to load a kernel and an initial RAM disk.
kernel_addr
address to which the file specified by the -kernel parameter of QEMU shall
be loaded. Defaults to environment variable *loadaddr* and further to
the value of *CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR*.
initrd_addr
address to which the file specified by the -initrd parameter of QEMU shall
be loaded. Defaults to environment variable *ramdiskaddr* and further to
the value of *CFG_RAMDISK_ADDR*.
Examples
--------
QEMU firmware files are listed via the *qfw list* command:
::
=> qfw list
00000000 bios-geometry
00000000 bootorder
000f0060 etc/acpi/rsdp
bed14040 etc/acpi/tables
00000000 etc/boot-fail-wait
00000000 etc/e820
00000000 etc/smbios/smbios-anchor
00000000 etc/smbios/smbios-tables
00000000 etc/system-states
00000000 etc/table-loader
00000000 etc/tpm/log
00000000 genroms/kvmvapic.bin
Where an address is shown, it indicates where the data is available for
inspection, e.g. using the :doc:`md`.
The available CPUs can be shown via the *qfw cpus* command:
::
=> qfw cpu
2 cpu(s) online
The *-kernel* and *-initrd* parameters allow to specify a kernel and an
initial RAM disk for QEMU:
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc-i440fx-2.5 -bios u-boot.rom -m 1G \
-nographic -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd
Now the kernel and the initial RAM disk can be loaded to the U-Boot memory via
the *qfw load* command and booted thereafter.
