Corstone-320 FVP

This section describes installation of the Corstone-320 FVP to run on your local machine. Similar instructions would apply for other platforms.

Arm provides a selection of free to use Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs) that can be downloaded from the Arm Developer website.

You can review Arm’s full FVP offering and general installation steps in the Fast Model and Fixed Virtual Platform install guide.

Note

It is recommended to perform these steps in a new terminal window.

Download the Corstone-320 Ecosystem FVP archive:

    

        
        
            cd $HOME
wget https://developer.arm.com/-/cdn-downloads/permalink/FVPs-Corstone-IoT/Corstone-320/FVP_Corstone_SSE-320_11.27_25_Linux64.tgz
        
    

Unpack it with tar, run the installation script, and add the path to the FVP executable to the PATH environment variable.

    

        
        
            tar -xf FVP_Corstone_SSE-320_11.27_25_Linux64.tgz

./FVP_Corstone_SSE-320.sh --i-agree-to-the-contained-eula --no-interactive -q

export PATH=$HOME/FVP_Corstone_SSE-320/models/Linux64_GCC-9.3:$PATH
        
    

The FVP requires an additional dependency, libpython3.9.so.1.0, which can be installed using a supplied script.

    

        
        
            source $HOME/FVP_Corstone_SSE-320/scripts/runtime.sh
        
    

Run the executable:

    

        
        
            FVP_Corstone_SSE-320
        
    

You will observe output similar to the following:

    

        
        telnetterminal0: Listening for serial connection on port 5000
telnetterminal1: Listening for serial connection on port 5001
telnetterminal2: Listening for serial connection on port 5002
telnetterminal5: Listening for serial connection on port 5003

        
    

If you encounter graphics driver errors, you can disable the development board and LCD visualization with additional command options:

    

        
        
            FVP_Corstone_SSE-320	\
	-C mps4_board.visualisation.disable-visualisation=1 \
	-C vis_hdlcd.disable_visualisation=1
        
    

Stop the executable with Ctrl+C.

Now you are ready to run the MLEK applications on the FVP.
