Here we go (finally): wget https://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2014.11.tar.bz2 tar -xaf buildroot-2014.11.tar.bz2 cd buildroot-2014.11/ make menuconfig Target Options: Target Architecture = MIPS little endian Target Arch Variant = mips32r2 Soft float = y Kernel: Kernel = y Kernel version = 3.6.11 Kernel config = defconfig Defconfig name = mipssim Kernel binary format = vmlinux Toolchain: Kernel Headers Version = manually linux version = 3.6.11 Custom kernel header series = 3.6.x Filesystem images: initial RAM filesystem linked into linux kernel =y ... then exit and save the config, and finally type "make". Then you should be able to run: qemu-system-mipsel -M mipssim -nographic -kernel output/images/vmlinux HTH, Thomas
