Hi, I am attempting to run the *vmm_arm run scripts* and am running into a few issues. I am running this on Ubuntu 22.04 with x86_64. The scenario I am trying is to run a with the *hw kernel with arm_v8a arch.*

First Issue: '*src/libc' not found - unable to guess version* *Steps:*

*git clone ...*

*cd genode-dir* *tool/create_builddir arm_v8a*

*# Add additional repos in the build.conf file.*

*cd build* *make KERNEL=hw BOARD=virt_qemu_arm_v8a* *make KERNEL=hw BOARD=virt_qemu_arm_v8a run/vmm_arm* # Returns the following errors: including /home/siagraw/genode-hw/tool/run/power_on/qemu including /home/siagraw/genode-hw/tool/run/log/qemu including /home/siagraw/genode-hw/tool/run/boot_dir/hw including /home/siagraw/genode-hw/repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run Error: recipe for 'src/libc' not found - unable to guess version make: *** [Makefile:431: run/vmm_arm] Error 1

So, I removed the libc line from vmm_arm.run, as per the diff below: *diff --git a/repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run b/repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run* index d80052352..a4ec448ab 100644 --- a/repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run +++ b/repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run @@ -16,7 +16,6 @@ if { ![have_board imx7d_sabre] && ![have_board imx8q_evk] && create_boot_directory t import_from_depot [depot_user]/src/[base_src] \ [depot_user]/src/init \ - [depot_user]/src/libc \ [depot_user]/src/log_terminal \ [depot_user]/src/nic_router \ [depot_user]/src/terminal_crosslink \

After that, the VM boots up as below. Second Issue: *Failing mount command and no interactive shell.*

I tried an "ls" in my run script and that showed that /dev is empty. [init -> vm] fstab init.d resolv.conf Run script execution successful.

I have a few questions here:

- Was it ok to remove the libc line from the run script? - I was expecting the VM to hang around with a shell. Is that not the expected behavior? - I should be able to run this scenario of a rpi3, right? Instead of running inside Qemu(where I have effectively 2 level of virtualization from the point of the VM).

Best, Sid
