Hi folks,
I've been trying to use OpenBIOS with QEMU, and I've had trouble
getting it to boot any PowerPC-based OS discs (Linux, Mac OS X, etc).
OpenBIOS just doesn't seem to find anything bootable. If I try booting
QEMU with -nographic, I get this output (I get the same with a
self-built openbios-qemu.elf from the OpenBIOS SVN as well):

Well, that's a silly limitation. Is there a reason this isn't

support, so it seems strange that the QEMU version does not.

One issue iirc was that you need to obtain some Apple ID from a real

I was originally hacking PearPC into working order, and was going to
optimize it, but PearPC's code base is an absolute mess. It contains a
ridiculous number of horrible hacks, a very disorganized tree, and
it's slower than glacial movement. I eventually decided it made more
sense to get QEMU working instead. I did notice that the pre-OpenBIOS
version of QEMU was able to boot Mac OS X via Open Hack'Ware, so I was
annoyed to find that OpenBIOS didn't have such support. So, I might as

Wasn't there a recent revert from g3bw to g3beige machine emulation
due to not fully supported devices?
Might raise some issues with Leopard, Tiger may work better.

Open Hackware was barely enough to boot older versions of Linux.
Other operating systems that needed more extensive properties from the

Yes, Open Hack'Ware is as much a hack as PearPC is, in my opinion. It
uses very strange design decisions, which I suppose were inspired by
an "I'll do this later" attitude. For instance, in the CHRP script
'parser' it has, it will do a CRC of the boot script and then do a
table lookup to figure out what to do next, i.e.:
case 0xEA06C1A7:
/* MacOS 9.2 boot script:
* the XCOFF loader is embedded in the file...
*/
case 0x53A95958:
/* iBook 2 restore CD (MacOS X 10.2) */
[snip]
goto out;
case 0x8d5acb86:
/* Darwin-7.01
* The executable file is embedded after the script
*/
break;
Quite clearly, Open Hack'Ware was aptly named. It seems to have made
no effort to actually -execute- the CHRP boot-script, and instead just
do whatever would be necessary to get specific OSes working. Blech.

That's similar to the one that I've seen as well. The problem with
this one, IIRC, is that FreeBSD/powerpc is trying to setup the memory
translations for the MMU and the 'translations' property length is
zero, or something like that...

That's similar to the one that I've seen as well. The problem with
this one, IIRC, is that FreeBSD/powerpc is trying to setup the
memory
translations for the MMU and the 'translations' property length is
zero, or something like that...
Right, the error comes from this line:

this be the same OpenBIOS memory mapping issue recently seen with
cmd646 on sparc64?

So apparently it does find exception handlers now but no page tables
and again goes on to execute garbage.
This is not influenced by choosing between -M g3beige or -M mac99.
The amount of memory makes a difference in not showing the invalid
opcode errors for, e.g., -m 384, but it does hang at the same place.

If it's not a regression, it could be entirely possible that some of the

case, an SVN bisect to identify the offending commit would be really handy.

Neither gets to an OpenBIOS prompt afaik. Nor to the Welcome banner of
the Haiku bootloader, so iiuc not to its payload either.

Partial output from real hardware for comparison available here:
http://afaerber.planche.de/#ppc_2009_12_20
I considered it a regression because it's four lines less of output.
There's also a change of address for the new table - 0x07f00000 vs.
0x07d00000.

The last two days I bisected within the range r484..r647, with local

Some worked with powerpc-gnu-linux-* -> powerpc-elf-* symlinks, but
most failed with type errors. Some compiled but found no secondary
bootloader. Log attached.
Bisecting did however remind me of a change of the 'ofmem'
implementation (r521). That might be an explanation why the address
changed from 0x07d00000 to 0x07f00000, I guess?
As for the problematic memset, is there any way I could try out if
this is the same issue as with cmd646 or not?

I've dug some more and noticed that the data parsed from /chosen/mmu/
translations seems wrong:
0: map: 0x00000000, length 16384 -> physical: 0x00000000, mode 132972544
1: map: 0x00030000, length 0 -> physical: 0x07f00000, mode 1048576
2: map: 0x00000002, length -2147483648 -> physical: 0x000eb000, mode 106
Note the weird mode and subsequent values. It looks as if Haiku
expects (and gets on real OpenFirmware):
void *virtual_address
int length
void *physical_address
int mode
whereas OpenBIOS writes in libopenbios/
ofmem_common.c:ofmem_update_mmu_translations:
props[ncells++] = t->virt
props[ncells++] = t->size
props[ncells++] = t->mode
Should this be changed as follows, or is this platform-dependent?

Hmmm that's interesting. According to the OpenSolaris kernel source the
translations property is mapped to the following struct:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/sun4v/sys…
struct translation {
uint32_t virt_hi; /* upper 32 bits of vaddr */
uint32_t virt_lo; /* lower 32 bits of vaddr */
uint32_t size_hi; /* upper 32 bits of size in bytes */
uint32_t size_lo; /* lower 32 bits of size in bytes */
uint32_t tte_hi; /* higher 32 bites of tte */
uint32_t tte_lo; /* lower 32 bits of tte */
};
And in Haiku:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/system/boot/platform/openfi…
struct translation_map {
void *virtual_address;
int length;
void *physical_address;
int mode;
} translations[64];
So in short, it does indeed look as if there are some platform
differences here. I guess this extra field is based upon the Mac OF
implementation so it would be good for someone to verify this on a real
Mac before we go and hack the source for PPC-only hosts. Note that I
can't see any references to the translations property in the OF spec so
I guess it must be an extension.
ATB,
Mark.

Right. If this property is platform-specific then it would make sense
that the function to generate the translations property should be moved
into arch/foo/ofmem_*.c and ofmem_common.c updated to use an
architecture-specific callback instead.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the offer. Given that Igor has found the documentation for
this in the platform bindings (and it matches what is seen in the source
code), please don't worry about this for the moment. I shall post a
patch for testing shortly.
ATB,
Mark.

Apparently all our PPC32 machines are offline, so I can't easily
check things there. If you like, I can boot up my iBook and see
what I can find.
Thanks for the offer. Given that Igor has found the documentation
for this in the platform bindings (and it matches what is seen in
the source code), please don't worry about this for the moment.

Let's see - I went through several machines and
tried to find that
node. Since they're all inside of Linux, I couldn't easily resolve /
chosen/mmu, which btw didn't always exist either.
My fault. /chosen/mmu property contains an instance reference to the
package where the translations property is assumed to exist. On my
PowerMac it's in /cpus/PowerPC,750@0, similar to your G5.

That's similar to the one that I've seen as well. The problem with

zero, or something like that...
Right, the error comes from this line:

You boot the bootloader using -kernel which then reads the partition
table. That has nothing to do with OpenBIOS and only remotely with
qemu though, so if you still can't get it to work, please email me off-

If you pass QEMU a Mac OS X install disc ISO (via dd from an original
disc), OpenBIOS will try to scan for a bootable partition. When it
calls fs_hfsp_open(), it fails the volume_open() call because instead
of finding an HFS+ filesystem header, it finds an Apple Partition Map
header. The APM header points to the location of the HFS+ filesystem
header. So basically, it just gives the necessary offset from the
start of that slice to find the HFS+ header.

Well, call_elf should work regardless of the format. The first and

initrd address and size), the third is the start address that should

I'm not committing the XCOFF loader quite yet. I suspect it would be
best to do refactor it to use a similar API to what the ELF loader
has, and place it so that it could be shared with the other OpenBIOS
targets (pearpc, mol, etc)... Would it be preferred to make the XCOFF
loader QEMU-specific or should it be a common API like the ELF loader?

Alright, is that location part of the official specification? If so,
good, then we could use that memory for any allocations OpenBIOS would
need to do. If not, then who's to say that location won't get hammered
by the OS or boot loader?

don't hammer those

Agreed, this seems to be an undocumented Apple-ism. But since OSes

'Yes, we can' (R).
How easy would it be to get OpenBIOS to load to
the position Mac OS X
and BootX expect it to be? Based on what the book says, there are 8MB
of memory available to the Open Firmware, would that be enough for the
OpenBIOS executable image and any allocations it would need to
perform?

BootX should use openBIOS functions to allocate memory (as Yaboot
does...)
Apparently BootX is tricky that way. I don't have the BootX source
code, so I can't verify the author's statement, but I would guess he
knows what he's talking about.

thought was: how do we know where the OpenBIOS executable image ends?
Any ideas?
5:27 a.m.
So I decided a better idea was to keep the OpenBIOS ROM where it is
and then instead use the location 0x06800000 for the memory
allocations so that the 0x4000 block doesn't get smashed. It was far
more feasible than moving where the ROM is stored, and I don't think
anything cares about the contents of 0x06800000 to 06FFFFFF anyway.
Also, the reason I was getting "invalid opcode" was because Open
Hack'Ware's XCOFF loader didn't take into account some other unknown
variable which PearPC accounted for. I added the necessary code to

I'm not committing the XCOFF loader quite yet. I suspect it would be
best to do refactor it to use a similar API to what the ELF loader
has, and place it so that it could be shared with the other OpenBIOS
targets (pearpc, mol, etc)... Would it be preferred to make the XCOFF
loader QEMU-specific or should it be a common API like the ELF loader? On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 1:24 AM, Laurent Vivier

You can copy it from OpenHackWare.
I made some tests and it seems to have some memory conflicts between
MacOS kernel and OpenBIOS.
Good Luck.
Two more pre-XCOFF loader commits up:
http://github.com/tycho/openbios/commit/e43daa3447b5ce4a2b05b2f32882e498911…
http://github.com/tycho/openbios/commit/7023b78a10f5632fd08d4749615efd3e73a… And I have something (uncommitted) that at least
-loads- the
CHRP-embedded XCOFF binaries now, but I am not sure what to do to
execute the result. With ELF, it seems you can just use the call_elf()
function. I don't know PowerPC assembler (nor the XCOFF format) well
enough yet to know what would be necessary for a call_xcoff()
function. Anyone want to help out with this?
Well, call_elf should work regardless of the format. The first and
second parameters will be passed verbatim to OS (Linux uses those for
initrd address and size), the third is the start address that should
be available for all formats. There's some more description near the
function call_elf in start.S.
So I'd just add something like call_elf(0, 0, xcoff_start) somewhere. So here's what I get when I try Mac OS X 10.4
(I've enabled a ton of
debug output):
Alcarin:qemu steven$ ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -cdrom
~/Development/MacOSX-10.4.iso -boot d -M mac99 -nographic
If this is the entry, it's much too high, it's where OpenBIOS ROM is
located. Or the loader should also add the virtual memory mappings to
cover these addresses. IIRC the DSI/ISI handler in ofmem.c also makes
some assumptions about virtual memory layout.

So at least with my patches, we're getting what people with QEMU 0.8.0
were getting: http://tinyurl.com/qemu080
So now what's left is resolving -why- that 'invalid/unsupported

That message comes from QEMU.

Yes, it does properly execute the boot-script.
And no, it doesn't actually _check_ for an XCOFF, despite the comment
I added. I suppose these lines could be removed from that patch:
+
+ /* check for an embedded XCOFF binary */
+
+ /* eat newline */
+ if (read_io(fd, tagbuf, 1) < 0)
+ goto badf;
+
+ /* eat '\x04', ASCII 'end-of-transmission' */
+ if (read_io(fd, tagbuf, 1) < 0)
+ goto badf;
+
+ /* next bytes should be XCOFF magic */
+
+ /* TODO: Add XCOFF loader here. */
+
But they don't have any side effects. They are essentially just prep
work for loading an embedded XCOFF which would begin after consuming
the two bytes after the CHRP-BOOT block.

Oh, I should say that it does _execute_ the boot-script, but I don't
know if it's properly handled by the Forth interpreter. Any idea what
the boot-script you cite is supposed to actually _do_ (I gave up

In fact what I have is a Mach-O loader which load mach_kernel from "/".
Good
Luck.

Oh, I should say that it does _execute_ the boot-script, but I don't
know if it's properly handled by the Forth interpreter. Any idea what
the boot-script you cite is supposed to actually _do_ (I gave up
trying to read Forth at around 3 AM last night)? On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 1:24 AM, Laurent Vivier

Oh, I should say that it does _execute_ the boot-script, but I don't
know if it's properly handled by the Forth interpreter. Any idea what
the boot-script you cite is supposed to actually _do_ (I gave up
trying to read Forth at around 3 AM last night)? ( xcoff-base )
load-size over load-base - -
( xcoff-base xcoff-size )
load-base swap move
init-program go
Then we'd be doing what we -really- should be doing instead of my
hackish "oh, there's an XCOFF here! let's load it."
This explains why OpenHackware is written as it is.
