[Qemu-devel] Unable to boot ubuntu 14.04 on qemu with raspi support

Hi!
I'm still trying to run an ubuntu image (14.04) with qemu.

http://pastebin.com/TymAhZq0

As you can see,

[    6.790830] bcm_power: Broadcom power driver
[    6.796113] bcm_power_open() -> 0
[    6.797978] bcm_power_request(0, 8)

there is still some sort of power management problem which
stops the boot.

Any prevision of when the RPI2 support will be complete?

Thanks for your help and patient,


V.

At this point, given it's likely "completely missing
device emulation for the power control" and we're about
five days away from hardfreeze for 2.6, I would expect
that we won't fix this for QEMU 2.6.

When this gets fixed later is uncertain. You could help
by testing whether the out-of-tree raspi branch works for
you, as Andrew suggested.

thanks

Ok I can test the Raspi branch and let you know...

however I hope you will consider to prioritize the Raspi support given the
fact that is one of the most popular low cost Linux platforms.

Let me know where I can take the latest Raspi branch please.

Both https://github.com/0xabu/qemu (raspi) and
http://repo.or.cz/qemu/ar7.git
contain the latest Raspi code.

https://qemu.weilnetz.de/ also has binaries for Windows based on the ar7
repository.

Thanks! I don't need binaries for win, but I'll try to compile both
versions and I'll keep you informed.

Have a nice we

Ehi! I can see some progress in the RPi support since our last email :)

The lastest qemu from Andrew is not booting without stopping.
However, as you can see from this pastebin:

http://pastebin.com/6XXCsL9f

there are several errors during boot. I also noticed that boot is
extraordinary slow...
I'm still waiting to see if actually the prompt will appear soon or later...

I can see that qemu project is keeping up a good speed and things happen
very fast! Hoping that soon RPi2 support will be complete to run the
latest linux distro,

best regards and congratulation for the progress,

V.
