Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs) are complete simulations of an Arm
system, including processor, memory and peripherals. These are set
out in a "programmer's view", which gives programmers a comprehensive
model on which to build and test software. FVP can be configured to
different setups by its cmdline parameters, and hence having the FVP
in CI will provide us with the flexibility to test Arm features and
setups that we find difficult to use real hardware or emulators.
This commit adds a Dockerfile for the new arm64v8 container with
FVP installed, based on the debian bookworm-arm64v8 image. This
container will be used to run the FVP test jobs. Compared to the
debian bookworm-arm64v8 image, the packages in the newly added FVP
container does not contain the `u-boot-qemu`, and adds the `expect`
to run expect scripts introduced by following commits, `telnet` to
connect to FVP, and `tftpd-hpa` to provide the TFTP service for
the FVP.

I vaguely recall some discussions on whether it was ok for us to publish a
container with the FVP model due to the license agreement.
I guess this has now been resolved because the download can be done without
sign-in to the account. Can you confirm?
Yes, quoting some words from the people we asked internally:
(the page referred to is
https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/Fixed%20Virtual%20Platforms):
"All the FVPs referenced on this page that you are interested in are licensed
under
lightweight Eco System EULA that has no restrictions on the redistribution.”
"So, yes, we can ship container images containing the FVP and the license on
the FVP will remain as is.”
"No issues with redistributing the model package in a Docker container, as long as
the EULA in included."
Thanks for checking. In the current form, I don't think it is easy to
know that the FVP has a specific license. I think this should be written
down at the top of the container file. Something:
"The FVP is license under... Please read the file in ... for more details".
It would also be good that the commit message indicates whether there is any
implicit license agreement from Xen Project (or any user that decide to use our
scripts).
I think it is the “END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR ARM ECOSYSTEM MODELS”?
It looks like it.
Cheers,
