Boot Arguments

Boot arguments are specific configuration flags passed to the kernel of operating system (OS) during the boot process. Their configuration is available in Arm Virtual Hardware for virtual devices capable to run Linux OS (based on Arm Cortex-A processors), for example Raspberry Pi 4 and i.MX 8M Plus devices.

Default kernel boot arguments are provided by the virtual model, or as part of the firmware file Info.plist as explained in Linux Firwmare Packages. But it is also possible to modify the boot arguments for existing device instances.

:::Note In general, it may be not safe to remove or change the default arguments if you aren't sure what you're doing, since the device and UI features may no longer work correctly. :::

To customize boot arguments on your virtual device, simply head to the Settings tab, open the General subtab, modify the appropriate text field, then click SAVE & REBOOT.
