ACRN Installation via Tar Files
####################################
Project ACRN offers two ways to install ACRN on target systems, either via
Debian packages or tar files. This document covers the tar file method. For
information about the Debian method, see :ref:`debian_packaging`.
Tar files provide a way to package ACRN configurations for Linux
target systems running non-Debian operating systems. You generate the tar
files on your development computer, copy them to your target system,
extract the tar files to the right places,
and reboot the system with ACRN up and running.
This document shows examples of commands used to build and install the tar
files. You might need to modify the commands for your environment.
Prerequisites
*************
* A development computer configured according to the :ref:`gsg` (for example, it
has an Ubuntu OS, ACRN dependencies, and ACRN hypervisor and kernel source
code from the ACRN GitHub repository).
Build the Tar Files
***************************
#. On your development computer, navigate to the ``acrn-hypervisor`` source code
directory and build the ACRN hypervisor tar files. Replace
``<board.xml>`` and ``<scenario.xml>`` with the paths to your board
configuration file and scenario configuration file.
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/acrn-work/acrn-hypervisor
make -j $(nproc) BOARD=<board.xml> SCENARIO=<scenario.xml>
make targz-pkg
The build typically takes a few minutes. By default, the build results are
found in the ``build`` directory.
#. Navigate to the ``acrn-kernel`` source code directory and build the ACRN
kernel tar files for the Service VM:
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/acrn-work/acrn-kernel
cp kernel_config_service_vm .config
make olddefconfig
make -j $(nproc) targz-pkg
The kernel build can take 15 minutes or less on a fast computer, but could
take an hour or more depending on the performance of your development
computer. By default, the build results are found in the current directory.
Install and Run ACRN
**************************
In the following steps, you will install the tar files, install the serial
configuration tool, configure GRUB, and run ACRN on the target system.
#. Copy all the necessary files generated on the development computer to the
target system. The following steps show how to copy via USB disk; feel free
to use a different method. Modify the file names in the following commands to
match your files.
a. Insert the USB disk into the development computer and run these commands:
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/acrn-work/acrn-kernel
disk="/media/$USER/"$(ls /media/$USER)
cp linux-5.10.90-acrn-service-vm-206626-g140f5035e1b1-x86.tar.gz "$disk"/
cp ~/acrn-work/acpica-unix-20210105/generate/unix/bin/iasl "$disk"/
cp ~/acrn-work/acrn-hypervisor/build/acrn-2.8-unstable.tar.gz "$disk"/
sync && sudo umount "$disk"/
#. Insert the USB disk you just used into the target system and run these
commands to copy the files locally:
.. code-block:: bash
disk="/media/$USER/"$(ls /media/$USER)
cp "$disk"/linux-5.10.90-acrn-service-vm-206626-g140f5035e1b1-x86.tar.gz ~/acrn-work
cp "$disk"/acrn-2.8-unstable.tar.gz ~/acrn-work
sudo cp "$disk"/iasl /usr/sbin/
sync && sudo umount "$disk"/
#. Extract the Service VM files onto the target system:
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/acrn-work
sudo tar -zxvf linux-5.10.90-acrn-service-vm-206626-g140f5035e1b1-x86.tar.gz -C / --keep-directory-symlink
#. Extract the ACRN tools and images:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo tar -zxvf acrn-2.8-unstable.tar.gz -C / --keep-directory-symlink
#. Copy the ACRN bin file to the boot directory. Replace ``<board>`` and
``<scenario>`` to match your file.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mkdir -p /boot/acrn/
sudo cp /usr/lib64/acrn/acrn.<board>.<scenario>.bin /boot/acrn
#. Install the serial configuration tool in the target system as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install setserial
#. Find the root filesystem (rootfs) device name by using the
``lsblk`` command:
.. code-block:: console

└─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 118.8G 0 part /
As highlighted, you're looking for the device name associated with the
partition named ``/``, in this case ``nvme0n1p2``.
#. Run the ``blkid`` command to get the UUID and PARTUUID for the rootfs device
(replace the ``nvme0n1p2`` name with the name shown for the rootfs on your
system):
.. code-block:: bash
sudo blkid /dev/nvme0n1p2
In the output, look for the UUID and PARTUUID (example below). You will need
them in the next step.
.. code-block:: console
/dev/nvme0n1p2: UUID="3cac5675-e329-4cal-b346-0a3e65f99016" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="03db7f45-8a6c-454b-adf7-30343d82c4f4"
#. Add the ACRN Service VM to the GRUB boot menu:
a. Edit the GRUB ``40_custom`` file. The following command uses ``vi``, but
you can use any text editor.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo vi /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#. Add the following text at the end of the file. Replace ``UUID`` and
``PARTUUID`` with the output from the previous step. Replace ``<board>``
and ``<scenario>`` to match your bin file. Confirm the module2 file name
matches the file in your ``boot`` directory.

}
#. Save and close the file.
#. Make the GRUB menu visible when
booting and make it load the Service VM kernel by default:
a. Edit the ``grub`` file:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
#. Edit lines with these settings (comment out the ``GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE``
line). Leave other lines as they are:
.. code-block:: bash
GRUB_DEFAULT=ubuntu-service-vm
#GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
#. Save and close the file.
#. Update GRUB and reboot the system:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo update-grub
reboot
#. Confirm that you see the GRUB menu with the "ACRN Multiboot Ubuntu Service
VM" entry. Select it and proceed to booting ACRN. (It may be autoselected, in
which case it will boot with this option automatically in 5 seconds.)
