Installing windows enterprise 1803 as Guest OS on 18.04 Service VM

AshKay
 

Hello,
On my custom platform I installed Ubunutu 18.04 as service VM following instructions located here ..
https://projectacrn.github.io/1.6.1/getting-started/rt_industry.html

After I boot in my service vm am trying to installing windows as a Guest OS on 18.04 Ubuntu service VM.

Followed instructions located here..
https://projectacrn.github.io/1.6.1/tutorials/using_windows_as_uos.html

I believe I configured shell script correctly as per instructions and now am getting GVT: init failed error. 
I have attached logs and install_win.sh script for the reference. 
Wondering if I need to boot with any special flags for service VMs or am I missing something very basic.

Thanks..

hi sunp76,
    Try add i915.enable_gvt=1 in the boot arguments.

   Best regards.

Thanks SIMING

So I added following boot arguments
i915.enable_gvt=1 i915.nuclear_pageflip=1 i915.avail_planes_per_pipe=0x010101 i915.domain_plane_owners=0x011100001111 i915.enable_guc=0

I do not get any GVT initialization failures but now am getting TPM initialization errors..
I have attached TPM_InitFailed and output from lshw for your reference. Wondering how can I debug this further..

Thanks

TPM_InitFailed

hi sunp76,
    I don't know how to solve the probem about the tmp init fault. But if the windows is not installed , you can try to check the dmesg for more infomation.

  Bset regards.

hi Fengwei,
     I'm not clear about the setting of the monitor and display before install windows.  If I use the Ubuntu instead of Weston, how should I set the monitor?  thanks.

Can you tell us more about your environment? E.g. HW, ACRN version, etc.?

Are you able to interact with the ACRN hypervisor through that serial port?

Hello Geoffroy,
Am using release 2.2 for ACRN loading Ubuntu 18.04 as SOS.

Following all the steps listed here with the only exception is that I am using different hardware.
https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/getting-started/rt_industry_ubuntu.html

I have attached my hardware specific board.xml file, CPUid.txt and 40_custom file indicating my boot parameters.
I have also uploaded output from lshw detailing hardware information for my platform.

Please let me know if any additional details are required.

I also do not have serial port so can't interact with ACRN hypervisor.

Thanks in advance for helping..

Thanks AshKay! You’re running a Coffee Lake system, I don’t believe we validate those. @Xie, Nanlin, can a GVT expert take a look a this?

 

It may be interesting to take enable more debugging options for the DRM subsystem, use drm.debug=0x6 as an additional kernel command-line parameter in the Service VM for this.

 

Thanks,

Geoffroy

In our lab, we’re trying ACRN on a Coffee Lake-Refresh system, which has 8 CPU cores.
Our configuration setting is:
1. SOS (Yocto) + Windows (Win10 LTS) + Preempt Linux + Yocto Linux
2. GVT-d (GPU passthrough) to Guest Windows.
The reason to use GVT-d is that it can achieve better Real-time performance for RTVM (Preempt Linux), which is critical for industrial scenario.

Do you want to try GVT-d on Coffee Lake?


Best regards.

Hello Hongbo,
Yes we would certainly be looking for Real-Time performance, am wondering if I can slightly modify and use following configuration:
1. SOS (Ubuntu 18.04) + Windows (Win10 LTS)
2. GVT-d (GPU passthrough) to Guest Windows.


Please advise..
Wang, Hongbo
 

Yes, it’s easier to support than 4 guest VM.

Your configuration is doable.

 

May I know your machine module, brand, CPU type?

 

 

Best regards.

Thanks Geoffroy,
Am wondering if we have list of CPUs tested anywhere, My first steps was to setup SVM on Xeon platform, found that it was not tested/supported as well. I understand we have listed supported hardware on the page but wondering if it helps any to capture these non working cases somewhere..

Would be interesting to find the root cause of this Coffeelake setup. I have attached the dmesg output after I enabled drm.debug=0x06, nothing stands out, but am not a GVT expert either. I have also attached install_win.sh script that I slightly modified to map to correct keyboard and mouse events. Both mouse and keyboard seems to be frozen, after I execute install_win.sh script. may be that's another issue.. But just as a temporary work around I have used another set of keyboard and mouse so I can interact with service VM.

Regards..

Hello Hongbo,
Was thinking if we can leave my coffelake setup for further debugging of GVT related issues. That said I also have access to following intel NUC of course different processor family than coffelake
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/130393/intel-nuc-kit-nuc7i7dnhe.html
Can we setup following configuration on intel NUC (NUC7i7DNHE)
1. SOS (Ubuntu 18.04) + Windows (Win10 LTS)
2. GVT-d (GPU passthrough) to Guest Windows.

Let me know if you need further details for the Intel NUC that I have..


Thanks again for helping ..
