Optimally, this should be virtio graphics. However, this does not appear to be functional. More investigation needs to be done to determine the cause of the issue, and replace the Bocks with Virtio. 86926 1 alex.kanavin 2020-04-07 14:52:33 +0000 To me the reason is pretty clear: qemu upstream doesn't have virtio available in arm/arm64: ak@linux-f9zs:~/development/poky/build> tmp/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-helper-native/1.0-r1/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -vga help none no graphic card std standard VGA cirrus Cirrus VGA (default) vmware VMWare SVGA xenfb Xen paravirtualized framebuffer ak@linux-f9zs:~/development/poky/build> tmp/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-helper-native/1.0-r1/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/qemu-system-arm -machine virt -vga help none no graphic card std standard VGA cirrus Cirrus VGA (default) vmware VMWare SVGA xenfb Xen paravirtualized framebuffer While in x86_64: ak@linux-f9zs:~/development/poky/build> tmp/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-helper-native/1.0-r1/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -vga help none no graphic card std standard VGA (default) cirrus Cirrus VGA vmware VMWare SVGA xenfb Xen paravirtualized framebuffer virtio Virtio VGA 91455 2 richard.purdie 2021-09-16 15:07:29 +0000 Jon to check whether this is possible and status upstream 91467 3 jon.mason 2021-09-17 13:22:02 +0000 virtio-vga has been deprcated. See https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/938912a866114deb5660c93907a80635b16e5807 However, the correct current usage is virtio-gpu.
