title: QEMU usage
# QEMU

## Create image

```bash
qemu-img create -f raw image_file 4G
```

Run iso with image

```bash
qemu-system-i386 -cdrom _iso_image_ -boot order=d _qemu_image_ 
```


### Setting up memory

```bash
-m 512
```

### Setting up network card

```bash
-net nic
```

### Setting up tun device

```bash
brctl addbr tun0
iw dev wlp3s0 set 4addr on
brctl addif tun0 wlp3s0

```

### Lunching image 

If everything installed then image could be runed just with

```bash
qemu-system-i386 _options_ _disk_image_
```

## Lunching self compiled kernel

Let compile kernel and prepare initramfs to lunch it. Create file init.c
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  printf("Hello world!\n");
  sleep(999999999);
}
```

compile 

```bash
gcc init.c -o init -static
```

and create image to lunch

```bash
echo init | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > test.cpio.gz
```

And now we have luncuble stuff to test if kernel loads fine

```bash
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -kernel ./bzImage -initrd test.cpio.gz
```

If everything whent fine we will see "Hello world"

## Compile qemu

To get qemu you can download file or just clone git repo here is page to 
download files [http://wiki.qemu.org/Download](http://wiki.qemu.org/Download)
and git repo located at

```bash
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
```

To see avaliable targets run 
```bash
./configure --help
```
there alos many different options and targets just choose one that you need 
most  

Configure targets:

```bash
./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu,arm-linux-user
```

or could be choosen to compile all targets

```bash
./configure --enable-system
```

Compile

```bash
make
```
