----------------------------------------
Qemu is a full system emulator. See
http://www.nongnu.org/qemu/
Limitations & comments
----------------------
Supports the "-M mips" configuration of qemu: serial,NE2000,IDE.
Supports little and big endian as well as 32 bit and 64 bit.
Derived from au1x00 with a lot of things cut out.
Supports emulated flash (patch Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD) with
recent qemu versions. When using emulated flash, launch with
-pflash <filename> and erase mips_bios.bin.
Notes for the Qemu MIPS port
----------------------------
I) Example usage:
Using u-boot.bin as ROM (replaces Qemu monitor):
32 bit, big endian:
# make qemu_mips
# qemu-system-mips -M mips -bios u-boot.bin -nographic
32 bit, little endian:
# make qemu_mipsel
# qemu-system-mipsel -M mips -bios u-boot.bin -nographic
64 bit, big endian:
# make qemu_mips64
# qemu-system-mips64 -cpu MIPS64R2-generic -M mips -bios u-boot.bin -nographic
64 bit, little endian:
# make qemu_mips64el
# qemu-system-mips64el -cpu MIPS64R2-generic -M mips -bios u-boot.bin -nographic
or using u-boot.bin from emulated flash:
if you use a qemu version after commit 4224
create image:
# dd of=flash bs=1k count=4k if=/dev/zero
# dd of=flash bs=1k conv=notrunc if=u-boot.bin
start it (see above):
# qemu-system-mips[64][el] [-cpu MIPS64R2-generic] -M mips -pflash flash -nographic
2) Download kernel + initrd
On ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/contrib/Jean-Christophe_Plagniol-Villard/qemu_mips/
you can downland
#config to build the kernel
qemu_mips_defconfig
#patch to fix mips interrupt init on 2.6.24.y kernel
qemu_mips_kernel.patch
initrd.gz
vmlinux
vmlinux.bin
System.map
4) Generate uImage
# tools/mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x80010000 -e 0x80245650 -n "Linux 2.6.24.y" -d vmlinux.bin.gz uImage
5) Copy uImage to Flash
# dd if=uImage bs=1k conv=notrunc seek=224 of=flash
6) Generate Ide Disk
# dd of=ide bs=1k cout=100k if=/dev/zero
# sfdisk -C 261 -d ide
# partition table of ide
unit: sectors
ide1 : start= 63, size= 32067, Id=83
ide2 : start= 32130, size= 32130, Id=83
ide3 : start= 64260, size= 4128705, Id=83
ide4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
7) Copy to ide
# dd if=uImage bs=512 conv=notrunc seek=63 of=ide
8) Generate ext2 on part 2 on Copy uImage and initrd.gz
# Attached as loop device ide offset = 32130 * 512
# losetup -o 16450560 -f ide
# Format as ext2 ( arg2 : nb blocks)
# mke2fs /dev/loop0 16065
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
# Mount and copy uImage and initrd.gz to it
# mount -o loop,offset=16450560 -t ext2 ide /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/boot
# cp {initrd.gz,uImage} /mnt/boot/
# Umount it
# umount /mnt
9) Set Environment
setenv rd_start 0x80800000
setenv rd_size 2663940
setenv kernel BFC38000
setenv oad_addr 80500000
setenv load_addr2 80F00000
setenv kernel_flash BFC38000
setenv load_addr_hello 80200000
setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/ram0 init=/bin/sh'
setenv load_rd_ext2 'ide res; ext2load ide 0:2 ${rd_start} /boot/initrd.gz'
setenv load_rd_tftp 'tftp ${rd_start} /initrd.gz'
setenv load_kernel_hda 'ide res; diskboot ${load_addr} 0:2'
setenv load_kernel_ext2 'ide res; ext2load ide 0:2 ${load_addr} /boot/uImage'
setenv load_kernel_tftp 'tftp ${load_addr} /qemu_mips/uImage'
setenv boot_ext2_ext2 'run load_rd_ext2; run load_kernel_ext2; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
setenv boot_ext2_flash 'run load_rd_ext2; run addmisc; bootm ${kernel_flash}'
setenv boot_ext2_hda 'run load_rd_ext2; run load_kernel_hda; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
setenv boot_ext2_tftp 'run load_rd_ext2; run load_kernel_tftp; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
setenv boot_tftp_hda 'run load_rd_tftp; run load_kernel_hda; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
setenv boot_tftp_ext2 'run load_rd_tftp; run load_kernel_ext2; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
setenv boot_tftp_flash 'run load_rd_tftp; run addmisc; bootm ${kernel_flash}'
setenv boot_tftp_tftp 'run load_rd_tftp; run load_kernel_tftp; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
setenv load_hello_tftp 'tftp ${load_addr_hello} /examples/hello_world.bin'
setenv go_tftp 'run load_hello_tftp; go ${load_addr_hello}'
setenv addmisc 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} console=ttyS0,${baudrate} rd_start=${rd_start} rd_size=${rd_size} ethaddr=${ethaddr}'
setenv bootcmd 'run boot_tftp_flash'
10) Now you can boot from flash, ide, ide+ext2 and tfp
# qemu-system-mips -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic -net nic -net user -tftp `pwd` -hda ide
II) How to debug U-Boot
In order to debug U-Boot you need to start qemu with gdb server support (-s)
and waiting the connection to start the CPU (-S)
# qemu-system-mips -S -s -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic -net nic -net user -tftp `pwd` -hda ide
in an other console you start gdb
1) Debugging of U-Boot Before Relocation
Before relocation, the addresses in the ELF file can be used without any problems
by connecting to the gdb server localhost:1234
