Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This configuration offers a cross-build of (a subset of) the build-bootstrap
|
|
package selection for the mips64 architecture (Malta machines with a 20Kc CPU)
|
|
as emulated by qemu-system-mips64.
|
|
It includes support for all the hardware emulated by qemu, a working udev,
|
|
kernel and userland support for TCP/IP networking, and more.
|
|
|
|
With qemu and the resulting build you can at least:
|
|
- boot the kernel and first stage initrd,
|
|
- execute a shell from the initrd,
|
|
- mount NFS file systems,
|
|
- load the second stage from a CD-ROM or a HTTP server,
|
|
- and install packages from the CD on a hard disc.
|
|
|
|
The packages included should be sufficient for native builds on the targeted
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- Direct boot with serial console:
|
|
qemu-system-mips64 -cdrom bbs-mips-malta-qemu_cd1.iso -hda /srv/qemu.hda \
|
|
-kernel build/bbs-mips64-malta-qemu-TRUNK-mips-64-EB-mips64-cross-generic-expert/boot/vmlinux \
|
|
-initrd build/bbs-mips64-malta-qemu-TRUNK-mips-64-EB-mips64-cross-generic-expert/ROCK/target-finish/initrd.img \
|
|
-append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/ram0" -nographic -M malta
|

Hints And Known Bugs
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- To use the CD image in qemu, create it after the build has finished:
|
|
./scripts/Create-ISO bbs-mips64-malta-qemu bbs-mips64-malta-qemu
|
|
|
|
- To use a hard disk in qemu, create it with e.g.:
|
|
qemu-img create /srv/qemu.hda 2048M
|
|
|
|
- The kernel and initrd image can also be found in the boot/ directory of the
|
|
CD-ROM image.
|
|
|
|
- When using a console on the serial port, be sure to enter 'ttyS0' as the
|
|
terminal device in boot stage 2, or you won't get to see the command line.
|
|
Enter 'tts/0' to also set the baud rate of the serial port.
|
|
|
|
- To access HTTP or NFS servers in qemu, add the following options:
|
|
-net nic -net tap
|
|
|
|
You need root privileges for this, or have your system administrator set it
|
|
up for you. When qemu starts it will create a network interface (tap0) on the
|
|
host system and add an IP address/netmask (172.20.0.1/16) to it:
|
|
|
|
host:/# ip addr show dev tap0
|
|
19: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 500
|
|
link/ether 00:ff:e1:75:9a:a0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
|
inet 172.20.0.1/16 brd 172.20.255.255 scope global tap0
|
|
inet6 fe80::2ff:e1ff:fe75:9aa0/64 scope link
|
|
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
|
|
|
|
In the first boot stage of the emulated system, execute a shell, set up the
|
|
network link and add an IP address on the same network:
|
|
|
|
sh-3.2# ip link set up dev eth0
|
|
[ 41.026595] eth0: link up
|
|
sh-3.2# ip addr add 172.20.0.20/16 dev eth0
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to reach the host system:
|
|
|
|
sh-3.2# ping -c3 172.20.0.1
|
|
