for different purposes.

@ -53,6 +53,37 @@ with the default OpenSBI firmware image as the -bios. It also supports
the recommended RISC-V bootflow: U-Boot SPL (M-mode) loads OpenSBI fw_dynamic
firmware and U-Boot proper (S-mode), using the standard -bios functionality.
Using flash devices
-------------------
By default, the first flash device (pflash0) is expected to contain
S-mode firmware code. It can be configured as read-only, with the
second flash device (pflash1) available to store configuration data.
For example, booting edk2 looks like
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-riscv64 \
-blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=<edk2_code> \
-blockdev node-name=pflash1,driver=file,filename=<edk2_vars> \
-M virt,pflash0=pflash0,pflash1=pflash1 \
... other args ....
For TCG guests only, it is also possible to boot M-mode firmware from
the first flash device (pflash0) by additionally passing ``-bios
none``, as in
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-riscv64 \
-bios none \
-blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=<m_mode_code> \
-M virt,pflash0=pflash0 \
... other args ....
Firmware images used for pflash must be exactly 32 MiB in size.
