Hi.
They are not merged yet, Waldemar was waiting for my gcc 4.9.x patches
to get merged (done) and is going to rebase when he has time probably.
The directions in the readme.txt are correct, i make it a habit of
testing them regularly.
I have seen different versions of Qemu failing to work properly, even if
newer or older, there's no rule for that, that's the reason i mention
the exact version there.
Unfortunately for the 2014.02 release when the toolchain changes were
shipped and the configs weren't updated so they are effectively broken
for the current toolchain (it may be that the current toolchain is
broken for real scenarios, i can't know).
Waldemar's last patch updates the qemu defconfigs to a nice and simpler
config without the need for an external dts and brings in networking
support as well.
For the "latest" i've used Qemu 2.0.0
And to make things nicer i've got a patchset that builds qemu within
buildroot to avoid the messy problem of different vesions available, it
just needs some proper docs i think and should get in, right guys? :)
Regards.
