Note
All command examples on this page from the HTML document format can be copied by clicking the copy button. In the PDF document format, be aware that special characters are added when lines get wrapped.
Build Host Environment Setup
System Requirements
x86_64 or aarch64 host to build the stack and execute the Kronos FVP
Ubuntu Desktop or Server 20.04 Linux distribution
At least 500GiB of free disk for the download and builds
At least 32GiB of RAM memory
At least 12GiB of swap memory
Install Dependencies
Follow the Yocto Project documentation on how to install the essential packages required for the build host. The packages needed to build the Yocto Project documentation manuals are not required.
Install the kas tool and its optional dependency (to use the “menu” plugin):
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade kas==4.2 && sudo apt install python3-newtFor more details on kas installation, see kas Dependencies & installation.
Install tmux (required for the
runfvptool):sudo apt install tmux
Download
Note
Performing the builds and FVP execution in a tmux session is mandatory for
Kronos because the runfvp tool that invokes the Kronos FVP expects the
presence of a tmux session to attach its spawned tmux windows for console
access to the processing elements. Refer to
Tmux Documentation for more information on the usage of tmux. It is
recommended to change the default history-limit by adding
set-option -g history-limit 3000 to ~/.tmux.conf before starting
tmux.
Start a new tmux session, via:
tmux new-session -s kronos
To reconnect to an existing tmux session:
tmux attach -t kronos
Download the kronos repository using Git and checkout on the kronos branch,
via:
mkdir -p ~/kronos
cd ~/kronos
git clone https://git.gitlab.arm.com/automotive-and-industrial/kronos-ref-stack/kronos.git --branch v1.0
Reproducing the Use-Cases
General
Kas Build
The Kronos stack has a kas configuration menu that can be used to build the Use-Cases. It can also apply customizable parameters to build different Reference Software Stack Architecture types.
Note
Before running the configuration menu, ensure it is done inside a tmux session.
To run the configuration menu:
kas menu kronos/Kconfig
Note
To build and run any image for the Kronos FVP the user has to accept its EULA, which can be done by selecting the corresponding configuration option in the build setup. The Safety Island Actuation Demo is built as part of the default deployment.
The kas build configuration menu selections performed in each use-case are saved. Ensure to only select the options mentioned in the use-case reproduce steps and deselect any other non-relevant ones.
FVP
The runfvp tool that invokes the Kronos FVP creates one tmux terminal
window per processing element. The default window displayed will be that of the
Primary Compute terminal titled as terminal_ns_uart0. User may press
Ctrl-b w to see the list of tmux windows and use arrow keys to navigate
through the windows and press Enter to select any processing element
terminal.
The Reference Software Stack running on the Primary Compute can be logged into
as root user without a password in the Linux terminal.
Note
FVPs, and Fast Models in general, are functionally accurate, meaning that they fully execute all instructions correctly, however they are not cycle accurate. The main goal of the Reference Software Stack is to prove functionality only, and should not be used for performance analysis.
Critical Application Monitoring Demo
The demo can be run on the Baremetal Architecture or Virtualization Architecture. See Critical Application Monitoring Demo for further details.
Baremetal Architecture
Build
To run the configuration menu:
kas menu kronos/Kconfig
To build a Baremetal Architecture image:
Select
Critical Application Monitoring Demofrom theUse-Casemenu.Select
Baremetalfrom theReference Software Stack Architecturemenu.Select
Build.
Run the FVP
To start the FVP and connect to the Primary Compute terminal (running Linux):
kas shell -c "../layers/meta-arm/scripts/runfvp -t tmux --verbose"
The user should wait for the system to boot and for the Linux prompt to appear.
The Safety Island (SI) Cluster 1 terminal running cam-service is available
via the tmux window titled terminal_uart_si_cluster1. For ease of
navigation, it’s recommended to join the SI Cluster 1 terminal window to the
Primary Compute terminal window in order to issue commands on it.
Follow the steps below to achieve the same:
Ensure that the tmux window titled
terminal_ns_uart0is selected. If not, pressCtrl-b wfrom the tmux session, navigate to the tmux window titledterminal_ns_uart0using the arrow keys, then press theEnterkey.Press
Ctrl-b :and then typejoin-pane -s :terminal_uart_si_cluster1 -hfollowed by pressingEnterkey to join the SI Cluster 1 terminal window to the Primary Compute terminal window.
Refer to the following image of the tmux panes rearrangement. Panes can
be navigated using Ctrl-b followed by the arrow keys.
The Reference Software Stack running on the Primary Compute can be logged into
as root user without a password in the Linux terminal. Run the below
command to guarantee that all the expected services have been
initialized.
systemctl is-system-running --wait
Wait for it to return. The expected terminal output is running.
Run the Demo
Before running cam-app-example, .csd files corresponding to event
streams produced by cam-app-example must be created and deployed to the
system where cam-service runs (in this case SI Cluster 1). Run
cam-app-example in calibration mode and then use cam-tool to generate
the .csd files.
Start
cam-app-examplein calibration mode from the Primary Compute terminal:cam-app-example -u 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e -t 3000 -c 10 -s 4 -C
The stream event log files (
.csel) for each stream are generated. The output should look as below:Cam application configuration: Service IP address: 127.0.0.1 Service port: 21604 UUID base: 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e Stream count: 4 Processing period (ms): 3000 Processing count: 10 Multiple connection support: false Calibration mode support: true Calibration directory: ./[uuid].csel Fault injection support: false Event(s) interval time (ms): 0 Using libcam v1.0 Starting activity... Starting activity... Starting activity... Starting activity... Stream 0 sends event 0 Stream 1 sends event 0 Stream 2 sends event 0 Stream 3 sends event 0 ...List the files generated:
ls -1 *.csel
The stream event log files can be shown as below:
11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000.csel 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0001.csel 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0002.csel 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0003.csel
Run
cam-toolfrom the Primary Compute terminal to analyze stream event log files and convert them to stream configuration files (.csc.yml).cam-tool analyze -m 1000000 -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000.csel
The analysis result is reported from the Primary Compute terminal as below, the timeout value might change:
CAM event log analyze report: Input event log file: 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000.csel Output configuration file: analyzed.csc.yml Stream UUID: 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000 Stream name: CAM STREAM 0 Timeout between init and start: 300000 Timeout between start and event: 450000 Application running times: 1 Processing count in each run: [10] Event ID timeout 0 4000106
The stream configuration files contain human-readable settings used for the deployment phase of a critical application. Users can modify this configuration, for example to fine tune timeout values depending on the system capabilities.
Run
cam-toolthree more times for each of the other three streams.cam-tool analyze -m 1000000 -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0001.csel cam-tool analyze -m 1000000 -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0002.csel cam-tool analyze -m 1000000 -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0003.csel
Then, use the
cam-tool packcommand for each of the streams to generate deployment data.cam-tool pack -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000.csc.yml cam-tool pack -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0001.csc.yml cam-tool pack -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0002.csc.yml cam-tool pack -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0003.csc.yml
Run the
cam-tool deploycommand from the Primary Compute terminal to transfer the generated stream deployment data to SI Cluster 1 (wherecam-serviceis running):cam-tool deploy -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000.csd -a 192.168.1.1
The output on the SI Cluster 1 terminal should look as below, the connection number might change:
Connection 4 is created. Deploy Message Connection 4 is closed.
After that, the stream data of
11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0000is deployed to thecam-servicefile system.Running
cam-tool deploythree more times can deploy the data of three other streams tocam-service.cam-tool deploy -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0001.csd -a 192.168.1.1 cam-tool deploy -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0002.csd -a 192.168.1.1 cam-tool deploy -i 11085ddc-bc10-11ed-9a44-7ef9696e0003.csd -a 192.168.1.1

arm-systemready-ir-acs - OK - All required tests passed (successes=1, skipped=0, failures=0, errors=0)
As seen in the above logs, some Test Groups are expected to fail. The following messages are expected to validate this Use-Case:
RESULTS - arm_systemready_ir_acs.SystemReadyACSTest.test_acs: PASSED (32417.37s)
Note
Running the ACS tests more than once will have them resume from where they last stopped. Additionally, consecutive runs are not supported by the ACS logs; it will result in a failure after the end of the tests. Use the following to re-start the entire test suite properly:
kas shell -c "bitbake arm-systemready-ir-acs -C unpack"
Note
The ACS tests take hours to complete. The actual time taken will vary depending on the performance of the build host. The default timeout setting for the tests is 12 hours for an x86_64 host or 24 hours for an aarch64 host. If a timeout failure occurs, increase the timeout setting and re-run the tests with the following command on the build host terminal. The example command below changes the timeout setting to 16 hours.
TEST_OVERALL_TIMEOUT="\${@16*60*60}" kas shell -c "bitbake arm-systemready-ir-acs -C unpack"
Note
There is a rare known failure where a timeout might occur during test execution. Refer to Known Issues for possible workarounds.
Refer to Arm SystemReady IR ACS Tests for an explanation on how the ACS tests are set up and how they work in the Reference Software Stack.
Linux Distribution Installation (Debian and openSUSE)
The Arm SystemReady IR-aligned firmware must boot at least two unmodified generic UEFI distribution images from an ISO image.
This Software Stack currently supports two Linux distributions: Debian Stable and openSUSE Leap.
Note
The installation of a Linux distribution requires some manual interaction, for example, some necessary selections or confirmations, entering the user and password, etc.
The whole installation process takes a long time (possibly up to 10 hours, or even longer).
We suggest that when running the Linux distribution installations the FVP is the only running process as it will consume large amounts of RAM that can make the system unstable.
Refer to Linux Distributions Installation Tests for an explanation on how the Linux distros installation is set up and how they work in the Reference Software Stack.

Run the following command to start the installation:
kas shell -c "../layers/meta-arm/scripts/runfvp -t tmux --verbose"
The whole process of installing Debian will probably take about 5 hours. The install process begins when you see the following:
Select Install to start the installation process.
The following are problems that have been encountered during the Debian installation process and how to solve them:
Detect and mount installation media
After the installer starts, a tab titled

Install the GRUB boot loader
When the installation reaches the
Install the GRUB boot loaderphase, there will be an errorUnable to install GRUB in dummy. This is because on an EBBR platform, UEFISetVariable()is not required at runtime (however, it is required at boot time).
One workaround we have is to “execute a shell” when the GRUB install phase throws the above error. To execute a shell, press
Ctrl-a nto switch the debug shell, and run the following commands:chroot /target update-grub mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT cp -v /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubaa64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootaa64.efiA snapshot is as below:
After doing the above GRUB workaround, press
Ctrl-a pto go back to the installer again. SelectContinueon the GRUB failure screen.

Finishing the installationphase, you will need to wait some time to finish the remaining tasks, and then it will automatically reboot into the installed OS. You can log into the Linux shell with the user created during installation.Terminate the FVP
To shut down the FVP and terminate the emulation automatically, log into the Linux shell as the root user then run the following command.
shutdown now
The below message indicates the shutdown process is complete.
reboot: Power down
Subsequently running the FVP will boot into Debian.

Secure Firmware Update
Currently, Secure Firmware Update is only available in the Baremetal Architecture.
Baremetal Architecture
Build
The to be updated firmware capsule for testing will be generated together with the image for the software stack when building. The firmware capsule is placed on a removable storage device (in the case of Kronos, an MMC card implementation in the FVP).
Ensure the creation of the initial firmware flash images because previously updated firmware will lead to failure of the secure firmware update tests.
kas shell -c "bitbake ap-flash-image rss-flash-image -C image"
To run the configuration menu:
kas menu kronos/Kconfig
To build a Baremetal Architecture image:

Run the FVP
To start the FVP and connect to the Primary Compute terminal (running Linux):
kas shell -c "../layers/meta-arm/scripts/runfvp -t tmux --verbose"
Note that the main tmux windows involved in the Secure Firmware Update are
terminal_ns_uart0 and terminal_rss_uart. For ease of navigation, it is
recommended to join these in a single window with two panes.
Follow the steps below to achieve the same:
Ensure that the tmux window titled
terminal_ns_uart0is selected. If not, pressCtrl-b wfrom the tmux session, navigate to the tmux window titledterminal_ns_uart0followed by pressing theEnterkey.The user should wait for the U-Boot

Refer to the following image of the tmux panes rearrangement. Panes can
be navigated using Ctrl-b followed by the arrow keys.
Run the Demo
To start Secure Firmware Update:
In the U-Boot shell, run the following commands to start Secure Firmware Update:
Note
Each command should be copied and pasted individually to the U-Boot shell.
fatload mmc 0:1 0xa2000000 fw.cap efidebug capsule update -v 0xa2000000
The system will automatically start upgrading the firmware capsule. Note: This time there is no need to press any keys.
The following logs indicate that the upgrade process has started and is in progress.

Note: This step will take about 10 minutes.
The system will reset after a successful firmware update and boot with the updated firmware. This can be confirmed by checking the terminal logs; if there are lines in the log like below, then the upgrade was successful and the system has successfully rebooted with the updated firmware.
In
terminal_rss_uart:[INF]: [FWU]: Flashing the image succeeded. [INF]: [FWU]: Performing system reset... ... ... [INF]:[FWU]: get_fwu_agent_state: enter, boot_index = 1
The system will eventually boot into Linux using the upgraded firmware.
To shut down the FVP and terminate the emulation, select the terminal titled as
