[Buildroot] Booting QEMU

[Buildroot] Booting QEMU

[Sadiq Hussain Muchumarri]

Hello all,

I've followed the below steps for a QEMU build:

1)cloned the LTS version of buildroot from GitHub

2)make clean

3)make distclean

4)make qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig

5)make

All the above steps are succesfull and I can see the artifacts in
output/images directory.

May I know how do I boot the QEMU now?
I see a start-qemu.sh script under output/images directory.

But, that doesn't work out of the box as it says:
"Invalid SD card size: 60MiB"

Any alternative to this?
Thanks:)

Regards
Hussain

See the command line in board/qemu/arm-vexpress/readme.txt.

The default build creates a 'root' account with empty password.
