[Qemu-devel] Nios2 documentation page now up

[Programmingkid]

Hi I have recently created a new documentation page for the Nios2 target. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you might have on it. Thank you.

Great, thanks !

A few nits, we also support nios2 userspace binary emulation. And Nios2
is I believe Altera specific. And we only support Nios2 R1 EL thus far.

Thank you for the info. Did the suggested command line look good to you? Also would you know of any pre-made images the user could download to test the emulator? 

I will add your note about how only Nios2 R1 EL is currently supported.

If you have any pictures of this emulator running I would be glad to add them to the wiki page.

I mean, ./configure --target-list=nios2-softmmu,nios2-linux-user when I
say that userspace linux binary emulation is supported.

I build them using OE with meta-altera myself.

Not at the moment, just a random post on my G+ (which I'd prefer to NOT
have linked in the wiki) ; although feel free to copy-paste the console
output:

I just did a git pull and tried your configure command. This is the error I saw:

ERROR: Unknown target name 'nios2-linux-user'

Actually I was talking about a HD image file the user could try to boot from. A simple test image file would be good enough.

I will be glad to post any pictures whenever you decide to add pictures to the wiki page.

qemu$ ./configure --target-list=nios2-softmmu,nios2-linux-user
[...]
target list       nios2-softmmu nios2-linux-user
[...]

That's on commit 49bcce4b9c11759678fd223aefb48691c4959d4f

You cannot attach a harddisk to the system. You can only boot a kernel
with initramfs (or use nfsboot with external work-in-progress patch).

There is no graphical output on 10m50 GHRD ; the system only has serial
console.
