基于SkyEye的嵌入式Linux移植仿真技术研究

Research on Embedded Linux Transplantation and Simulation Technology Based on SkyEye

在嵌入式系统开发中,经常需要硬件开发板来调测软件,不仅操作繁琐,硬件环境不稳定时问题也很难定位;有时还会遇到软件等待硬件调试,延误开发周期的情况。在PC桌面系统下,探讨了一种基于SkyEye虚拟硬件技术的嵌入式平台仿真技术,介绍如何建立仿真基础环境,编译嵌入式Linux内核,制作根文件系统,编译、配置SkyEye,以S3C6410X为目标机处理器,将Linux内核及文件系统移植到基于SkyEye虚拟的ARM体系架构下,为嵌入式系统的研发探索了一种新的途径。

In the development of embedded system, the hardware development board is often applied to adjust and test the software. The operation is not only very complicated but also difficult to locate the problem when the hardware environment is instable and, sometimes, the situation that software is waiting for commissioning by the hardware may occur and delay the development cycle. In the PC desktop system, an embedded platform simulation technology based on SkyEye virtual hardware technology is discussed. This paper introduces how to establish the basic simulation environment, compile the embedded Linux kernel, make the root file system as well as compile and configure SkyEye. Using S3C6410X as the target processor, the Linux kernel and the file system are transplanted to virtual ARM architecture based on SkyEye to provide a new way for exploring the embedded system development.
