Running template in RISC-V

[marcomaas1990]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the template inside a emulated RISC-V Qemu Ubuntu 22.04.4
I was able to compile the project via cargo build --target riscv64gc-unknown-hermit inside the vm, but now I want to run the image.
Should I use qemu inside the vm, that's gonna be a terrible experience, or can I use the image on my host system via a qemu command directly?
On my x86_64 host I used qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu64,apic,fsgsbase,fxsr,rdrand,rdtscp,xsave,xsaveopt -smp 1 -m 128M -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x04 -display none -serial stdio -kernel release/hermit-loader-x86_64 -initrd x86_64-unknown-hermit/debug/hermit-rs-template to succesfully run the HelloWorld example
Thanks

Thanks for raising this issue!

You can use qemu-system-riscv64 on any host.

I have added some instructions to the loader's README in hermit-os/loader#345. Is this sufficient for a newcomer such as you, or should we be more explicit about other architectures in this project's README too?
