Installation[edit | edit source]

QEMU installation guide:

Prerequisites[edit | edit source]

The following requirements used in order to install this build onto a virtual machine are listed below:

A 64-bit version of QEMU
A version of the TianoCore EDK II firmware for ARM64 emulation, to be placed in the QEMU installation directory under fw/QEMU_EFI.fd
The Red Hat VirtIO driver package
Two virtual hard disk images (for storing the installation media and the OS install)

Instructions[edit | edit source]

Create the needed virtual disk images through the diskpart utility by running the below script; they will be created under a directory in the C: drive named ServerARM64. The images and the partitions they contain will be respectively mounted under drive letters M and P.

create vdisk file="C:\ServerARM64\install.vhd" maximum=4096 type=expandable
select vdisk file="C:\ServerARM64\install.vhd"
attach vdisk
convert gpt
create partition primary
format quick fs=fat32
assign letter=M
create vdisk file="C:\ServerARM64\HDD.vhd" maximum=65536 type=expandable
select vdisk file="C:\ServerARM64\HDD.vhd"
attach vdisk
convert gpt
create partition efi size=100
format quick fs=fat32
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs
assign letter=P
exit

Copy the contents of the installation media over to partition M, followed by the contents of the SCSI disk controller driver directory within the VirtIO driver package (located in viostor\w10\ARM64). Eject all currently attached virtual disks from the machine, and paste and run the contents of the below script (replacing YYYY-MM-DD with the build's compilation date) onto a batch file within the QEMU installation directory:
