While running qemu guest agent on windows giving error - qemu

Was trying to connect to the qemu running on windows to the Host using QEMU Guest Agent.
I started the qemu using this commands
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -display none -daemonize -m 64G -smp cores=8 -drive file="e2e-VMImage1.qcow2" -device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x5 -device ich9-usb-uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x1 -device ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -device usb-tablet,id=input0,bus=usb.0,port=1 -vga qxl -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -nic user,hostfwd=tcp::42-:22 -vnc 10.190.215.107:40 -device vfio-pci,host=0000:1d:00.0 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/qga.sock,server,nowait,id=qga0 -device virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server=on,wait=off
when I start qemu-ga on the windows qemu
qemu-ga -m virtio-serial-pci -p /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.1
I am getting error

QEMU Not booting

Do qemu 5.1.0-dirty and qemu 5.1.0 versions behave differently?
No error occurs, but it boots with qemu 5.1.0-dirty version and not with 5.1.0. What could be the problem?

Both versions used the same command line, but only booted
from the qemu 5.1.0-dirty version.
In qemu 5.1.0, which does not boot, the QEMU screen is created, but the phrase 'guest has not initialized the display (yet)' is displayed and it does not proceed any further.
5.1.0-dirty only exists in binaries, and version 5.1.0 was used after compiling the source code.
Use the compile options --enable-sdl --enable-gtk --target-list=aarch64-softmmu .

It should boot normally, but it doesn't.
What is the difference between qemu 5.1.0-dirty and regular qemu 5.1.0?
-dirty on the end of a QEMU version string means "5.1.0 plus any number of unknown extra changes", i.e. it is not a clean upstream version. It could have absolutely anything in it. You would need to find out exactly where the binary came from and what sources it was built from to be able to find out what the differences are between it and a clean 5.1.0.

The error says -spice: invalid option.
I tried reinstalling qemu. I expected the VM to boot
That means that when the QEMU binary was built the necessary dependencies for SPICE weren't present, so configure disabled it (it is an optional feature). If you pass configure the option --enable-spice then that will force configure to either enable this feature or else to exit with an error, so you can identify what dependent libraries you need to install.

How to create block devices other than virtio in Qemu virt machine?

I am trying to emulate ARM64 Linux on qemu. The following command works:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt-6.2 -cpu cortex-a53 -m 1G -smp 4\
-kernel Image.gz \
-append 'earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda rw' \
-drive file=base.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
-nographic
However, the block device type is virtio. To make it work, the virtio driver should be added to the kernel, which I don't want.
After some googling, I tried following command:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt-6.2 -cpu cortex-a53 -m 1G -smp 4\
-kernel Image.gz \
-append 'earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda rw' \
-drive file=base.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
-device sdhci-pci -device sd-card,drive=mydrive -drive id=mydrive,if=none,format=raw,file=base2.img \
-nographic
I was expecting an extra sd-card device, but it does not work. The command lsblk shows nothing new, nor can I find anything new under /dev.
So, how can I emulate a block device in qemu without adding new driver to the kernel?

Improving performance on Arm64 virtualization

I'm virtualizing an arm64 machine on my x64 system using this command:
"C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-aarch64.exe"
-name "Windows on ARM64"
-M virt,virtualization=true
-cpu cortex-a72
-smp 6
-m 4G
-bios QEMU_EFI.img
-accel tcg,thread=multi
-device VGA
-device ramfb
-device ich9-usb-ehci1
-device nec-usb-xhci
-device usb-kbd
-device usb-mouse
-nic user,model=virtio
-device usb-storage,drive=moredrivers
-drive if=none,id=moredrivers,media=cdrom,file=.\virtio-win-0.1.208.iso
-device usb-storage,drive=drivers
-drive if=none,id=drivers,readonly=on,file=.\drivers.vhdx
-device usb-storage,drive=system
-drive if=none,id=system,format=raw,file=.\system.vhdx
It runs really slowly, the processor having 1Ghz available on all 6 cores, going 100% all times.
Is there any way to increase performance?

QEMU snapshot without an image?

I'm working with VxWorks, a Real Time Operating System for embedded systems. They recently added QEMU support, and I've been trying to figure it out. (I'm fairly new to all these technologies.) I would like to checkpoint and restart the virtual machine, ie save the RAM and processor state and reload it later from exactly that point.
QEMU has some support for this called "snapshots." However, everything I've seen and tried requires a disk image in qcow2 format. But my simulation has no disk, the program is loaded directly into RAM and run.
Here's my QEMU command:
qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -smp 4 -machnie xlnx-zcu102 -device loader,file=~/vxworks_21.03/workspace3/QEMU_helloWorld/default/vxWorks,addr=0x00100000 -nographic -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:35163,server,nowait -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:39251,server -device loader,file=~/vxworks_21.03/workspace3/vip_xlnx_zynqmp_smp_64/default/xlnx-zcu102-rev-1.1.dtb,addr=0x0f000000 -device loader,addr=0x000ffffc,data=0xd2a1e000,data-len=4 -device loader,addr=0x000ffffc,cpu-num=0 -nic user -nic user -nic user -nic user,id=n0,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:0-:1534,hostfwd=udp:127.0.0.1:0-:17185
Then I log into the monitor and:
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 35163
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

Error: No block device can accept snapshots
I tried a number of things, like creating an empty disk image, or the snapshot_blkdev command, but no luck so far.
The host is RedHat Linux 8.4 running on an x86 desktop, the guest is ARM64.
It turns out that a disk image is required to do snapshots, but you don't have to hook it up to the guest. To do that you pass qemu -drive argument with with if=none. Like this:
-drive if=none,format=qcow2,file=dummy.qcow2
So here is the whole sequence that worked:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 dummy.qcow2 32M
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -smp 4 -machnie xlnx-zcu102 -device loader,file=vxWorks,addr=0x00100000 -nographic -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:35163,server,nowait -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:39251,server -device loader,file=xlnx-zcu102-rev-1.1.dtb,addr=0x0f000000 -device loader,addr=0x000ffffc,data=0xd2a1e000,data-len=4 -device loader,addr=0x000ffffc,cpu-num=0 -nic user -nic user -nic user -nic user,id=n0,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:0-:1534,hostfwd=udp:127.0.0.1:0-:17185 -snapshot -drive if=none,format=qcow2,file=dummy.qcow2
Then in the monitor terminal savevm and loadvm work:
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 35163
