Exercise \- Build SBL for QEMU

Note

In this exercise, we’ll learn how to build SBL for QEMU emulator.

You can build SBL with the following steps:

  1. Launch Command Prompt

  2. Go to SBL source code folder by using the following command:

    cd C:\slimbootloader

  3. Clean source code folder before we build code by using the following command:

    python BuildLoader.py clean

  4. Build source code by using the following command:

    python BuildLoader.py build qemu

  5. Completion: you will see Done [qemu] on the screen after compile completed

Compile completed

Tip

If build target is changed, it is recommended to do a clean first before build. If source code is modified, incremental build is conducted automatically:

BuildLoader.py clean

By default, it builds DEBUG binary with FSP release binary. It can be changed:

-fd: uses FSP DEBUG binary.

-r: RELEASE build
