AVH

Creates and boots Arm Virtual Hardware models.

- boot:
    method: avh
    bootargs:
      normal: earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xfe215040 console=ttyS0,115200n8 rw rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 coherent_pool=1M 8250.nr_uarts=1 cma=64M
      restore: earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xfe215040 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 rw rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 coherent_pool=1M 8250.nr_uarts=1 cma=64M init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh
    docker:
      image: ghcr.io/vi/websocat:v1.14.1
      local: true

bootargs

(optional) The bootargs dictionary allows you to override the default Kernel bootargs provided by the AVH model.

The normal key is used for every regular boot.

The restore key, if present, is used for a first boot prior to the device being declared ready. It is expected that the device will reboot itself to indicate that this phase is complete. It is used, for example, on the Raspberry Pi 4 to expand the root FS.

docker

(optional) avh boot method uses websocat for connecting to AVH device serial console.

ghcr.io/vi/websocat:v1.14.1 docker image is used by default. The docker image specified in the job definition overrides the default one.

Note

An avh deploy action before this boot action is required. The boot method uses the image path from the deploy action to create the AVH instance.
