Dear All
Can you please let me know if the qemu emulating PowerPC (I mean
qemu-system-ppc.exe) can accept VxWork kernet for boot up?
Thank you

I doubt it. Patches are welcome.

Natalia keeps a list of verified to work OSs for exactly that purpose: http://www.claunia.com/qemu/

on any architecture. Please confirm.

As is, the QEMU PowerPC platform will definitely not boot a VxWorks image.

It is possible to boot a VxWorks image using the x86 system emulation. 
You would have to create a floppy image and pass that in for your
vx-boot loader.  Unless you are also putting your kernel image on the
floppy, you would need to invoke qemu to use an intel e100 nic and make
sure the VxWorks BSP is configured properly.

Thank you very much for your reply. Can you please let me know how can I
obtain more details on the implementation scenario of your proposed
procedure?

Thank you for your reply. Finally, I found a VxWorks kernel coming
from one PowerQUICC embedded platform. Can you please let me know how
can I make use of it on my qemu?
