I have just found out that if you run QEMU with -monitor telnet::45454,server,nowait -nographic
, then Ctrl-C kills the QEMU VM instead of generating SIGINT on t
Add -serial mon:stdio
and remove other -serial
options
The following satisfies all my requirements:
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-append 'root=/dev/vda nopat nokaslr norandmaps printk.devkmsg=on printk.time=y console=ttyS0' \
-drive file="${dir}/out/x86_64/buildroot/images/rootfs.ext2.qcow2,if=virtio,format=qcow2" \
-kernel "${dir}/out/x86_64/buildroot/images/bzImage" \
-nographic \
-monitor telnet::45454,server,nowait \
-serial mon:stdio
Or for aarch64:
./aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-M virt \
-append 'root=/dev/vda nokaslr norandmaps printk.devkmsg=on printk.time=y' \
-cpu cortex-a57 \
-drive file="${dir}/out/aarch64/buildroot/images/rootfs.ext2.qcow2,if=virtio,format=qcow2" \
-kernel "${dir}/out/aarch64/buildroot/images/Image" \
-monitor telnet::45454,server,nowait \
-nographic \
-serial mon:stdio \
