Boot an Arch Linux RISC-V using qemu-system

/ JieJiSS' Blog

TL;DR

This approach requires you to be on a non-RISC-V Arch Linux (x86_64 or aarch64, etc.) machine, because we use pacstrap and pacman .

 1

 # pacman -Syu then reboot is recommended before this
 sudo pacman -S arch-install-scripts git qemu-img qemu-system-riscv riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc
 git clone https://github.com/CoelacanthusHex/archriscv-scriptlet.git
 cd archriscv-scriptlet
 ./mkrootfs
 ./mkimg
 ./startqemu.sh

If, in the last step, you find yourself stuck at [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface for over 5 minutes, just press Ctrl-C and re-run startqemu.sh .

After booting the machine, you may need to install necessary packages:

 1
 
 sudo pacman -S git vim gcc

Detailed Explanation

TBD after my final examination ends (!)
