| Overview |
| ******** |
| |
| This board configuration will use ARM Fixed Virtual Platforms(FVP) to emulate |
| a generic Armv8-A 64-bit hardware platform. |
| |
| This configuration provides support for a generic Armv8-A 64-bit CPU and |
| these devices: |
| |
| * GICv3 interrupt controller |
| * ARM architected (Generic) timer |
| * PL011 UART controller |
| |
| Hardware |
| ******** |
| |
| Supported Features |
| ================== |
| |
| The following hardware features are supported: |
| |
| +-----------------------+------------+----------------------+ |
| | Interface | Controller | Driver/Component | |
| +=======================+============+======================+ |
| | GICv3 | on-chip | interrupt controller | |
| +-----------------------+------------+----------------------+ |
| | PL011 UART | on-chip | serial port | |
| +-----------------------+------------+----------------------+ |
| | ARM GENERIC TIMER | on-chip | system clock | |
| +-----------------------+------------+----------------------+ |
| |
| The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform. |
| |
| Devices |
| ======== |
| |
| System Clock |
| ------------ |
| |
| This board configuration uses a system clock frequency of 100 MHz. |
| |
| Serial Port |
| ----------- |
| |
| This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the |
| UART0. |
| |
| Known Problems or Limitations |
| ============================== |
| |
| Programming and Debugging |
| ************************* |
| |
| Use this configuration to build basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the |
| ARM FVP emulated environment, for example, with the :ref:`synchronization_sample`: |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/synchronization |
| :host-os: unix |
| :board: fvp_base_revc_2xaemv8a |
| :goals: build |
| |
| This will build an image with the synchronization sample app. |
| |
| To run with FVP, ARMFVP_BIN_PATH must be set before running: |
| |
| e.g. export ARMFVP_BIN_PATH=<path/to/fvp/dir> |
| |
| Debugging |
| ========= |
| |
| Refer to the detailed overview about :ref:`application_debugging`. |
