You can spawn your own custom VMs by passing a JSON config file to the VirtualizationService via the vm
tool on a rooted AVF-enabled device. If your device is attached over ADB, you can run:
cat > vm_config.json <<EOF { "kernel": "/data/local/tmp/kernel", "initrd": "/data/local/tmp/ramdisk", "params": "rdinit=/bin/init" } EOF adb root adb push <kernel> /data/local/tmp/kernel adb push <ramdisk> /data/local/tmp/ramdisk adb push vm_config.json /data/local/tmp/vm_config.json adb shell "/apex/com.android.virt/bin/vm run /data/local/tmp/vm_config.json"
The vm
command also has other subcommands for debugging; run /apex/com.android.virt/bin/vm help
for details.
