[openfirmware] Fwd: [ARM] [Qemu] Cannot build OpenFirmware for ARM using make

[John Fisherman]

Hello Mitch,
Thanks for your answer, I successfully built the OpenFirmware's ROM by
trying older subversion's revisions (thanks to Marcin). Now that I have the
ROM, I am stuck on loading the ROM using Qemu.

Forgot to respond to the whole mailing list, here is the latest update of
my issue :

Hello Marcin,

Thanks again for your help, it solved the issue in a way. Tried several
older revisions: r3500, r3000, r2500, and finally r2000. Only the revision
2000 successfully built the ARM rom called ofw.rom. This revision is from
2010-10-08 02:39:55, when the documentation is from 2010-08-11, 18:45.

Here’s the output :

Only the following line still warns us of a potential issue :
*${BP}/ofw/gui/iconmenu.fth:183:
expand-rect ?*
It seems to concern an icon, so it should not be a problem; the ROM is
built, and this is what I wanted.

As it is explained in the documentation, the last step should be to launch
qemu :
*qemu  -L . -bios ofw.rom  -hda fat:. *Here’s the output :

*jacky at debiannos:~$ qemu-system-arm  -L . -bios ofw.rom  -hda fat:.*

*No machine specified, and there is no default.*

*Use -machine help to list supported machines!*

*jacky at debiannos:~$*

Let’s specify the machine :


*jacky at debiannos:~$ qemu-system-arm  -L . -bios ofw.rom  -hda fat:.
–machine none*

This time, a Qemu window pops, with the following text:

*compat_monitor0 console*

*QEMU 2.1.2 monitor – type ‘help’ for more information*

*(qemu) $*



That’s just the Qemu console, correct me if i’m wrong, the bios is not
executed.

So I tried some other machines:

*jacky at debiannos:~$ qemu-system-arm -L . -bios
~/openfirmware-r2000/cpu/arm/mmp2/build/ofw.rom –cpu cortex-m3 -machine
lm3s811evb -hda fat:.*

*vvfat . chs 1024,16,63*

*Guest image must be specified (using -kernel)*



And:

*jacky at debiannos:~$ qemu-system-arm -L . -bios
~/openfirmware-r2000/cpu/arm/mmp2/build/ofw.rom -machine connex -hda fat:.*

*vvfat . chs 1024,16,63*

*A flash image must be given with the 'pflash' parameter*

*jacky at debiannos:~$*


Also tried with almost all the ones listed thanks to the command
*qemu-system-arm
–machine help.*
Why would a flash or a kernel be required when it was not, using Qemu for
x86 ?

Which kernel and flash should I use in order to run OpenFirmware? I suppose
this question is partly getting off topic, as the base issue has been
solved, maybe you want me to open another topic ?

Again, thanks a lot.

Regards,
- John
