Installing Windows 10 ARM32 Build 15035 on QEMU

[BetaNewbie]

First you need Linaro UEFI 32-bit Release 15.10, bootmgfw.efi gives 0xc0000017 error on newer releases.

Then you need to apply the "Force enable TrustZone" patch at https://github.com/TeoIzAwezome/rtemu/c ... 435a757f95, I apply this patch on latest 4.2.0-rc3 release, and that works fine.

Lastly you need a ARM32 build of viostor driver:

Create a vhd named disk.vhd, partition it, apply install.wim, inject viostor driver, bcdboot and enable testsigning.

Finally start qemu with the following command line:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-arm -M virt,highmem=false -cpu cortex-a15 -smp 2 -accel tcg,thread=multi -m 4096 -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -drive if=virtio,file=disk.vhd,format=vpc -device VGA -device ich9-usb-ehci1 -device usb-kbd -device usb-tablet -rtc base="2017-02-11",clock=vm

highmem=false is key here, that makes the PCIe controller function correctly, thus enabling USB (keyboard/mouse) and storage.

Cool, but does this work on any other build or is it just 15035?
Also, can you provide more information on how you applied the patch and created the bootable VHD?

Can someone please move this to the "Tutorials and Guides" section?

[dosdoktor]

Could you please provide more info about making it boot? I am refering to the side where you create the EFI partition for it to boot.

How do I enable the TrustZone patch? The Twitter link is down.

Hi, I would like to know how to install Windows 10 Build 15035 ARM in QEMU.

Maybe try this one:

I don't know how to install the TrustZone patch. I also need to know how to get the Linaro EFI and copy bcdboot files to the system partition.

[win.exe]

To apply Trustzone patch, patch qemu-system-arm.exe on QEMU 4.2.0 (Other versions don't work) by replacing this hex sequence with NOPs 4531C931D24C8D05BE515C004889F1E87AD82E00 => 9090909090909090909090909090909090909090.

Well now this is what QEMU does:

In the screenshot that BetaNewbie posted I see that VNC viewer is used but I don't know how it is used.

hey could you speak better, what was the step by step you did? I'm trying to run on Linux also on Android, but I'm having trouble understanding the path step by step.

I downloaded the ISO from the MS website and it says that I have to create a Hyper V VM on Windows 10, access the ARM system and activate this HYPER V, but I don't know how to do that, after that I see that the guys convert VHDX to ISO or QCOW2, this part is easy, the difficult part is to access this EFI that I did not understand how this transcript is and I also do not have these files that have in your code "QEMU_EFI.fd" and other files, how do I get them and where do I put them, in the same directory as windows ARM?

if you can write showing the step by step you did to get to start the bootloader I appreciate it, I want to try to start the system too.

[johndoe123]

A Linux ISO from the MS website? That's probably why it isn't working.
If that wasn't what you meant. Can YOU speak better?

I want YOU to speak better!

Is it possible to run older Windows RT builds on Qemu?

[johndoe123]

I've heard RT 8.1 can be installed but RT 8.0 can't as it requires HAL extensions.
Here is something that may be useful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/134 ... windows-rt

I wanted to try the Stackoverflow tutorial, but I can't get it to work. I didn't really understand how to patch the exe, or how to prepare the VHD file.

If anyone is still wondering how to install this build, here is a tutorial:

Will this method work in Windows RT 8.1? I really want to get RT work!

RT needs a special QEMU fork released recently (last month) by driver1998. There are some threads (like this one) that talk about running it.
