[Qemu-devel] Qemu emulation for PXA320 based board

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 365 bytes --]

Hello list!

 

I am a newbie to QEMU.

 

I have a PXA320 based target board and linux kernel which runs on it.

 

I want to emulate the board on QEMU. Kindly, let me know how I can go about.

 

Your help in this regard is highly appreciated. Any pointer, guidelines even
direction to right path will be very helpful.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Devel.

1) Get hardware programming docs for the board.
2) Implement emulation of that hardware.

(2) is fairly straightforward. I suspect you'll find that (1) is near 
impossible as the PXA320 is now owned by Marvell.

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

Please recommend some document or pointer on how to implement emulation of
hardware.

I am going through the code of different emulated machines but it is not
very clear.

Theere isn't any, just what's in the source.  It's mostly fairly 
straightforward once you get your head round it.
