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

[John Fisherman]

Hello Mitch and thanks for these advices.

a) I currently do not really know on which kind of machine I will perform
further development, but there a high chances it will use a Cortex-M3
processor. Until then, I will follow your advices and use *versatilepb*, I
will see later for the processor.

b) Good job. It works :) The QEMU window's there with the Forth
interpreter. I'm somewhat afraid of some warnings tho, here's the output :













*johnny at ubuntu:~/openfirmware-mitchbradley/cpu/arm/versatilepb/build$

The ones about audio are probably caused by the lack of audio emulation
options, but what about other ones ? Aren't they dangerous ?
Once again, good work, this is all I needed !

c) Thanks for redirecting me to your GitHub version.

d) You are right, I will use qemuforth.rom until I understand some more how
OpenFirmware works. I successfully built the rom by replacing the*
cpu/arm/versatilepb/build/**Makefile *first line by *ROMNAME=qemuforth*.
A small error I faced with the subversion's version is still present on
your GitHub version when building ARM ROMs:
" I’ve been looking for openfirmware/cpu/x86/Linux/armforth file. As the
error states, this file is not present in the cpu/x86/Linux folder. In
fact, there is a file named like this, but it has an extension .qemu (the
complete file name is armforth.qemu. So I tough about a simple mistake, and
renamed it (in fact, I copied it to avoid other errors) into armforth."
Renamed it, and successfully built the ROM.


Thanks for your help Mitch, you've put me in the good direction.
I hope not to have to bother you again, it should be fine from now :)

Regards,
- John
