Hi,
Hi!
This set of patches adds basic support for Mac99 Qemu machine,
As you ask the question in the subject, this machine is a NewWorld machine, and not a CHRP one. I think we don't really want to provide a CHRP emulated machine, so the best is probably to rename ppc_chrp.c into ppc_newworld.c.
provided by ppc_chrp.c. I've used the device tree of iMac DV ('99) as reference: http://penguinppc.org/historical/dev-trees-html/imac-dv-99.html
The patches changes the machine to use OpenBIOS instead of OHW and otherwise breaks OHW assumptions. On OpenBIOS side there are still some missing bits.
Comments welcome.
Great work.
I gave a quick look at the patches, they looks fine. However I still experience some problem with the PowerMac IDE emulation, especially with recent kernels, so until it is fixed (Laurent is working on that) I think we should keep the CMD646 as a default.
