[Sound-open-firmware] Testing SOF firmware boot with Qemu

[Pan, Xiuli]

Sorry for the late reply, it seems I missed this email.
For the QEMU check you can use.
https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/blob/master/scripts/qemu-check.sh

We check both IPC message and mailbox looking for the FW ready message.

To use this scripts with Docker you will need
./scripts/docker-qemu.sh ../sof.git/scripts/qemu-check.sh $PLATFORM

Please take our Travis scripts as reference

Thanks

Hi Xiuli,

Maybe this fall through the cracks 🙂. So, the question here is how do you
check that booting dsp with Qemu works fine 🙂.

Care to share the test scripts?

Daniel.

Hi Xiuli,

I want to understand the testcase for booting SOF firmware with Qemu.

It seems the test is started like this:


./xtensa-softmmu/qemu-system-xtensa -cpu broxton -M adsp_skl -nographic -kernel ../sof.git/build_skl_gcc/src/arch/xtensa/sof-skl.ri -rom ../sof.git/build_skl_gcc/src/arch/xtensa/rom-skl.bin

What I don't understand is how you figure out the boot is OK or not?

Can you share the test script 🙂.

thanks,
Daniel.
