I followed the same link. I will elaborate what is happening at my end -

*First* -
Used the same versions as per the doc. Built HSS 2020.12 and used
core-image-minimal-dev-icicle-kit-es-sd-20201009141623.rootfs.wic.
Upon executing the qemu launch command as per the doc, it's just waits for
the connection on another serial console -

info: QEMU waiting for connection on: disconnected:unix
:serial1.sock,server=on

Even if I open sudo minicom -D unix\#serial1.sock, which remains offline
always.

*Second* -
If I remove the "-chardev
socket,id=serial1,path=serial1.sock,server=on,wait=on -serial chardev:serial1"
from the
qemu launch command then HSS boots but stops after sbi_init on all the
cores and put the cores in Idle -

[5.443011] boot_download_chunks_onExit():
boot_service(u54_1)::u54_1:sbi_init 80200000
[5.444960] boot_wait_onEntry(): boot_service(u54_1)::Checking for IPI ACKs:
- -
[5.447962] boot_wait_handler(): boot_service(u54_1)::Checking for IPI ACKs:
ACK/IDLE ACK
[5.449343] RunStateMachine(): boot_service(u54_1)::Wait ->
boot_service(u54_1)::Idle

*Third -*
If I take the latest release of HSS 2021.04 and build with gcc10, it does
not boot at all even if I remove the serial1 like in the second case.


Thanks
Rahul
