Subject: Help to test the powerpc architecture
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2020 16:27:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200802142703.GA3575@ubuntu> (raw)
Hi,
I'm working in a new feature for the powerpc (64 bits little endian)
architecture. Since I can't test it in a real environment, I need to
emulate this arch. To do this I use qemu-ppc. My problem is that the
built kernel don't boot in qemu.
To build the kernel:
make defconfig ARCH=powerpc
Then I set to NO the CONFIG_KEXEC option as I found that qemu can't
boot a KEXEC kernel. And now:
make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- -j4
Finally I obtain a zImage in arch/powerpc/boot/ directory.
Before to run qemu I create a rootfs with debootstrap. Then I run qemu
with the following parameters:
qemu-system-ppc -kernel /media/ubuntu/Data/linux/arch/powerpc/boot/zImage \
-append "root=/dev/sda console=ttyS0" \
-drive file=qemu_image.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw \
--nographic
If I add the "-prom-env boot-args=-v" to the end of the last command I get
the same result. The qemu always stops at this point:

milliseconds isn't unique.
Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.1 built on Dec 27 2018 23:11

>> switching to new context:
Also, I've tried to build the kernel with a DTB embedded in the image,
but not luck. The same result again.
make ps3_defconfig ARCH=powerpc
make ARCH=powerpc simpleImage.ps3 CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- -j4
I'm stuck at this point. I don't know how to configure the kernel to be
able to boot with qemu. Any help to point me to the right direction
will be greatly appreciated.
Thank's in advance.
