QEMU MIPS
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Qemu for MIPS is based on the MIPS Malta board. The built Malta U-Boot
|
|
images can be used for Qemu and on physical hardware. The Malta board
|
|
supports all combinations of Little and Big Endian as well as 32 bit
|
|
and 64 bit.
|
|
|
|
Limitations & comments
|
|
----------------------
|
|
The memory size for Qemu is hard-coded to 256 MiB. For Malta Little Endian
|
|
targets an extra endianness swapped image named *u-boot-swap.bin* is
|
|
generated and required for Qemu.
|
|
|
|
Example usage
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Build for 32 bit, big endian:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
make malta_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
UBOOT_BIN=u-boot.bin
|
|
QEMU_BIN=qemu-system-mips
|
|
QEMU_CPU=24Kc
|
|
|
|
Build for 32 bit, little endian:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
make maltael_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
UBOOT_BIN=u-boot-swap.bin
|
|
QEMU_BIN=qemu-system-mipsel
|
|
QEMU_CPU=24Kc
|
|
|
|
Build for 64 bit, big endian:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
make malta64_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
UBOOT_BIN=u-boot.bin
|
|
QEMU_BIN=qemu-system-mips64
|
|
QEMU_CPU=MIPS64R2-generic
|
|
|
|
Build for 64 bit, little endian:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
make malta64el_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
UBOOT_BIN=u-boot-swap.bin
|
|
QEMU_BIN=qemu-system-mips64el
|
|
QEMU_CPU=MIPS64R2-generic
|
|
|
|
Generate NOR flash image with U-Boot binary:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=4 | tr '\000' '\377' > pflash.img
|
|
dd if=${UBOOT_BIN} of=pflash.img conv=notrunc
|
|
|
|
Start Qemu:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir tftproot
|
|
${QEMU_BIN} -nographic -cpu ${QEMU_CPU} -m 256 -drive if=pflash,file="$(pwd)/pflash.img",format=raw -netdev user,id=net0,tftp="$(pwd)/tftproot" -device pcnet,netdev=net0
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|

How to debug U-Boot
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to debug U-Boot you need to start qemu with gdb server support (-s)
|
|
and waiting the connection to start the CPU (-S). Start Qemu in the first console:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir tftproot
|
|
${QEMU_BIN} -s -S -nographic -cpu ${QEMU_CPU} -m 256 -drive if=pflash,file="$(pwd)/pflash.img",format=raw -netdev user,id=net0,tftp="$(pwd)/tftproot" -device pcnet,netdev=net0
|
|
|
|
In the second console start gdb:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
gdb-multiarch --eval-command "target remote :1234" u-boot
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
