Hi.
It means all relevant buildroot qemu sample defconfigs boot to a login
prompt where you can login and get dhcp working on the emulated network
(if said config has networking).
For microblaze this means big and little endian with MMU, we don't have
a nommu configuration since i've never managed to get that working in a
satisfactory way.
And that's with Waldemar's patches, not as it is right now which broke
those qemu defconfigs when the toolchain was changed to the internal
backend.
I do not know if it's the toolchain to blame and/or some Qemu
limitation, i just know that Waldemar's patches fix it for what i have
at hand (no microblaze hardware, just emulation).
Regards.
