+    Resources to build a generic arm-ubuntu disk image.
+author: ["Hoa Nguyen", "Kaustav Goswami"]
+---
+
+This document provides instructions to create the "arm-ubuntu" image and
+points to the gem5 component that would work with the disk image. The
+arm-ubuntu disk image is based on Ubuntu's server cloud image for
+arm available at (https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/).
+The `.bashrc` file would be modified in such a way that it executes
+a script passed from the gem5 configuration files (using the `m5 readfile`
+instruction).
+
+The instructions for bringing up QEMU emulation are based on
+[Ubuntu's Wiki](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM64/QEMU),
+and the instructions for creating a cloud disk image are based on
+[this guide](https://gist.github.com/oznu/ac9efae7c24fd1f37f1d933254587aa4).
+More information about cloud-init can be found
+[here](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html).
+
+We assume the following directory structure while following the instructions
+in this README file:
+
+```
+arm-ubuntu/
+  |___ gem5/                                   # gem5 source code (to be cloned here)
+  |
+  |___ disk-image/
+  |      |___ aarch64-ubuntu.img               # The ubuntu disk image should be downloaded and modified here
+  |      |___ shared/                          # Auxiliary files needed for disk creation
+  |      |      |___ serial-getty@.service     # Auto-login script
+  |      |___ arm-ubuntu/
+  |             |___ cloud.txt                 # the cloud config, to be created
+  |             |___ gem5_init.sh              # The script to be appended to .bashrc on the disk image
+  |             |___ post-installation.sh      # The script manipulating the disk image
+  |             |___ arm-ubuntu.json           # The Packer script
+  |
+  |
+  |___ README.md                               # This README file
+```
+
+## Building the disk image
+
+This requires an ARM cross compiler to be installed. The disk image is a 64-bit
+ARM 64 (aarch64) disk iamge. Therefore, we only focus on the 64-bit version of
+the cross compiler. It can be installed by:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get install aarch64-linux-gnu-g++-10 aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-10
+```
+
+In order to build the ARM based Ubuntu disk-image for with gem5, build the m5
+utility in `gem5/util/m5` using the following:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5
+cd gem5/util/m5
+scons build/arm64/out/m5
+```
+
+Troubleshooting: You may need to edit the SConscript to point to the correct
+cross compiler.
+```
+...
+main['CXX'] = '${CROSS_COMPILE}g++-10'
+...
+```
+
+# Installing QEMU for aarch64
+
+On the host machine,
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get install qemu-system-arm qemu-efi
+```
+
+# Installing cloud utilities
+
+On the host machine,
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get install cloud-utils
+```
+
+# Downloading the cloud disk image
+
+In the `arm-ubuntu/disk-image/` directory,
+
+```sh
+wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-arm64.img
+```
+
+# Booting the disk image using QEMU
+
+## Making a cloud config file
+
+First, we need a cloud config that will have the authorization information
+keys for logging in the machine.
+
+In the `arm-ubuntu/disk-image/arm-ubuntu` directory, create a `cloud.txt` file
+with the following content,
+
+```sh
+#cloud-config
+users:
+  - name: ubuntu                            <- change this name to the current user (use `whoami`)
+    ssh-authorized-keys:
+      - ssh-rsa AAAAABBCCCCCCCrNJfweeeeee   <- insert the rsa key here (typically `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`)
+    sudo: ['ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL']
+    groups: sudo
+    shell: /bin/bash
+    homedir: /home/ubuntu                   <- change this to the home directory of `whoami`
+```
+
+* Note: Do not leave stray spaces in the `cloud.txt` file.
+
+More information about generating an ssh rsa key is available
+[here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent#generating-a-new-ssh-key).
+You can ignore the GitHub email address part.
+
+## Booting the cloud disk image with the cloud config file
+
+```sh
+dd if=/dev/zero of=flash0.img bs=1M count=64
+dd if=/usr/share/qemu-efi/QEMU_EFI.fd of=flash0.img conv=notrunc
+dd if=/dev/zero of=flash1.img bs=1M count=64
+cloud-localds --disk-format qcow2 cloud.img arm-ubuntu/cloud.txt
+wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/kernel/uefi-linaro/latest/release/qemu64/QEMU_EFI.fd
+qemu-system-aarch64 \
+    -smp 2 \
+    -m 1024 \
+    -M virt \
+    -cpu cortex-a57 \
+    -bios QEMU_EFI.fd \
+    -nographic \
+    -device virtio-blk-device,drive=image \
+    -drive if=none,id=image,file=focal-server-cloudimg-arm64.img \
+    -device virtio-blk-device,drive=cloud \
+    -drive if=none,id=cloud,file=cloud.img \
+    -netdev user,id=user0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=eth0 \
+    -netdev user,id=eth0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22
+```
+
+## Manipulating the disk image
+
+While the qemu instance is still running, we will use Packer to connect
+to the virtual machine and manipulate the disk image. Before doing that, we
+need to add the private key using `ssh-add`.
+
+```sh
+ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+```
+
+This process is automated. In the `arm-ubuntu/disk-image/` directory,
+
+```sh
+chmod +x build.sh
+./build.sh
+```
+
+`build.sh` also verifies the cloud.txt and modifies the arm-ubuntu.json
+accordingly. The packer script, executed by `build.sh` disables systemd. In
+case you need to enable systemd stuff, remove the last two provisioners from
+the arm-ubuntu.json file.
+
+Note that after executing the packer script, you will not be able to emulate
+this disk image in qemu.
+
+## Preparing the disk image for gem5
+
+We need to finalize the image before we can use it with gem5. This is done by:
+
+```sh
+qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw focal-server-cloudimg-arm64.img arm64-ubuntu-focal-server.img
+rm focal-server-cloudimg-arm64.img
+```
