Does vim4 hardware support kvm? I tried to add the corresponding configuration in the kernel, but there is still no kvm support after compilation. Can you give me some guidance?
Hello @jeff_9999
Can you follow the step below to enable KVM?
Edit /boot/uEnv.txt, add kvm-arm.mode=protected to boot_user_args, like this
boot_user_args=kvm-arm.mode=protected
Save the file and reboot.
Check kvm status:
khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo kvm-ok
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
I got kvm in /dev/ ,but kvm program still has error :
failed to create IRQ chip with kvm
Maybe similar issue to this : Cannot run KVM on the VIM4 - #3 by jemalloc
What image you used? 5.4 or 5.15? Please provide the information to us.
cat /etc/fenix-release
uname -a

Hello @jeff_9999
Can you try to upgrade the kernel and check again?
wget https://dl.khadas.com/.test/linux-dtb-amlogic-5.15_1.6.3_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-dtb-amlogic-5.15_1.6.3_arm64.deb
sync
sudo reboot
The above settings have been made, but kvm program still has error :
failed to create IRQ chip with kvm, use this command
egrep -c ‘(svm|vmx)’ /proc/cpuinfo
always return 0, we want the kernel support kvm, how to configure it ?
In the kernel config.gz，CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP=y，i think current kernel support kvm and IRQ chip, but when I run cuttlefish (Android Virtual Machine), prompt
[2024-01-25T09:17:10.757747219+00:00 ERROR crosvm] exiting with error 1: failed to create IRQ chip, and now I want modify kernel config to solve this case
I want add CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST=y into kernel configure，but always failed，how to add CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST into the kernel? I saw somebody do this successuly
i got same error as zhangzhichen’s post
