  • Disable USE_VIRTCONSOLE in order to see all boot logs. Doing this enables the emulated PL011 serial and is much slower. Although edk2 does support virtio-console, it doesn’t display the debug output there (but you’ll still see RMM logs showing progress during boot).

  • When booting via grub2, the kernel parameters are stored in grub.cfg which is copied from board/aarch64-efi/grub.cfg by the buildroot script board/aarch64-efi/post-image.sh. Bu default the kernel parameters do not define a console, so Linux will determine the boot console from the device tree’s /chosen/stdout-path property, which QEMU initializes to the default serial console. So if you want to boot with virtconsole, add console=hvc0 to board/aarch64-efi/grub.cfg before making buildroot.

Attestation Proof of Concept

A demonstration application called cca-workload-attestation has been integrated to the root file system. From a Realm VM, it provides users with the capability to query the RMM for a CCA attestation token that can either be printed to the console or saved to a file. It also demonstrate a tpypical interaction with an attestation service by communicating the CCA attestation token to a local instance of the Veraison services. Details on the cca-workload-attestation, the Veraison services and the endorser that populate the endorsement values can be found here.
