SPR issue while booting qemu for POWER PC ppce500v2

Hello,

I am trying to perform LTP testing for POWER ppce500v2.

I used the following rfs and kernel image for testing the LTP test prefix
[cross build for ppce500ve using ppce500v2 custom toolchain] in QEMU system
mode.

http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.7/machines/qemu/qemuppc/core-image-sato-sdk-qemuppc.ext3


http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.7/machines/qemu/qemuppc/vmlinux--3.14.19+git0+fb6271a942_73e2411cdd-r0-qemuppc-20141016220152.bin

When configured for '-M ppce500 -cpu e500v2' it gave me the following error,

$ <path-sysroots>qemu-system-ppc -kernel
vmlinux--3.14.19+git0+fb6271a942_73e2411cdd-r0-qemuppc-20141016220152.bin

Trying to write invalid spr 536 (0x218) 000034c0

Any pointers or inputs/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Amruta!!!

I guess it has something to do with,

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b813bdebb36501500e86fea5f7e15b4b15ea0902

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6687

In other words, you should try with the latest images if any.

Maybe this will help - I just looked at both the E500 (includes V2) and 
E5500 reference manuals.  I couldn't find the definition of an SPR 536. 
  Could SPR 536 be specific to a particular SOC, or maybe it's just a 
typo in the code somewhere?

the code somewhere?

Thank you for the inputs.
The kernel was configured for 'altivec' support and I guess that was
causing the invalid SPR issue.
On reconfiguring the kernel for ppc e500 it did not give ' invalid SPR'
error but gave a blank QEMU console and failed to load the kernel and root
file system.

Using qemu version 2.1.0

Please suggest in case of any missing configurations.
