[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1717708] Re: QEMU aarch64 can't run Windows ARM64 iso's

[Shannon Zhao]

"D:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-aarch64.exe" -device virtio-scsi-
pci,id=scsi -drive if=none,id=cd,file=\path\to\iso -device scsi-
cd,drive=cd,bootindex=0 -m 2048 -cpu cortex-a57 -smp 4 -machine virt
-device virtio-gpu-pci -bios "QEMU_EFI .fd" -device usb-ehci -device
usb-kbd -device usb-mouse -usb

The QEMU_EFI .fd is downloaded from https://releases.linaro.org
/reference-platform/enterprise/17.08/uefi/release/qemu64/QEMU_EFI.fd

While I've tried the 16353.1000.170825-1423
.RS_PRERELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_ARM64FRE_ES-ES.ISO, bios could find
the EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI file, but the installer doesn't boot up.

Title:
  QEMU aarch64 can't run Windows ARM64 iso's

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,
  recently Windows ARM64 ISOs have been posted on the internet..
  just checked with latest QEMU 2.10 release from 
  https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/qemu-w64-setup-20170830.exe 
  "h:\qemu\qemu-system-aarch64.exe" -boot d -cdrom 
h:\iso\16353.1000.170825-1423.RS_PRERELEASE_CLIENTPRO_OEMRET_ARM64FRE_ES-ES.ISO 
-m 2048 -cpu cortex-a57 -smp 1 -machine virt
  seems no video output..
  checked various machine options for example versatilepb (says guest has not 
initialized the guest)..

  so don't know if it's a QEMU bug or lacking feature but can support
  running Windows ARM64 builds (would be nice if you can add a
  Snapdragon835 machine type which is which first machines will be
  running..)

  
  note running a Windows x64 ISO with similar parameters works (removing -cpu 
and -machine as not needed)

  thanks..
