Hi.
I am trying to emulate the Beagle platform using the version of qemu (meego
qemu) from here (I'm currently in sync with commit caacc3f):
git://gitorious.org/qemu-maemo/qemu.git.
I'm faced with the following problem. I'm running a microkernel underneath
Linux and when I try to use invasive debug at the microkernel level I can no
longer enable the linux console on that port.
For this reason we are using 2 distinct serial ports in our development on real
hardware.
I'm trying to replicate this in the emulator. By default I have keyboard into
either serial0 or parallel0, depending on whether I make or not use of -serial
stdio in the qemu-system-arm command.
I tried to use Ctrl-Alt-1 window (emulated tty0) as well as qemu serial0
console (using -serial stdio in the qemu-system-arm call line).
However I see emulated tty0 does not accept input from my keyboard once I grab
mouse and keyboard in that window.
Now I'm trying to make use of both parallel0 and serial0.
I modified the qemu code like this:
--- a/hw/beagle.c
+++ b/hw/beagle.c
@@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ static void beagle_common_init(ram_addr_t ram_size,
#error MAX_SERIAL_PORTS must be at least 1!
#endif
s->cpu = omap3_mpu_init(cpu_model, 1, ram_size,
- NULL, NULL, serial_hds[0], NULL);
+ NULL, parallel_hds[0] , serial_hds[0], NULL);
I think I am missing something since I do not get serial output on parallel0
(Qemu Ctrl-Alt-2 window).
My first question: is what I want even possible (serial on both serial0 and
parallel0)? If yes, what file should I look into?
Or should I consider grabbing a usb device from my host PC in qemu and plug in
a hub or usb keyboard in there instead?
Thank you,
