Hi Openbios team,
First of all I would like to thank you for the contribution to opensource community which is helping lot of developers like me to progress professionally.
It would be great if you can help me with the problem I am facing with using qemu with openbios .
I am trying to create a solaris environment with sparc architecture on an ubuntu 14.04 linux OS with help of qemu-system-sparc .
When I am trying to load a solaris image using this qemu-system-sparc64 i am getting the following error message .
<Mail Attachment.gif>
When I tried debugging it I found that the openbios-sparc is not installed in ubuntu machine I am working with .
This qemu-system-sparc64 uses a softlink which points to the directory /usr/share/qemu/openbios-sparc64 which is not found in the machine .
I am stuck here , I am not sure what should be the contents of the above directory so that this sparc emulation works good .
I tried to install the openbios from your official website but failed in using it along with qemu .
Can you please help me to get out of this situation or suggest me some way to create a 64 bit sparc solaris environment on linux os .
Thanks in advance :)
Warm Regards, Tej
I tried to make a sparc32 and a sparc64 binary, but I saw a bunch of errors instead. Just to go past the 'switch-arch' stage, I had to rename sparc32_config.xml to sparc_config.xml. The build system for sparc might need a little fixing.
