[Qemu-devel] arm (omap2430) support in qemu?

2011-11-08 Thread Ben Taylor
I picked up a omap2430 prototype board, and am looking to start
working with this.  Since this is a foray back into development for
me, I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of information I'm trying
to digest in starting this project (and the user forum at qemu-forum.ipi.fi
being down is a bit depressing).

Basically, I have a uboot image, a kernel and a rootfs that I can work
with, though I'm suspecting the fstab may need a little tweaking to
support the image.

Anyone know if I'm expecting too much of qemu, or has some suggestions
on how I can go about setting this up.  I plan on documenting this journey
since the couple of weeks I've spent researching this hasn't really found
a definitive guide into do what I want to do.

I can take conversations offline to minimize the noise quotient to the list.

Thanks,

Ben

QEMU supports the omap2 SoC (system-on-chip). However it doesn't
support your prototype board (because the only omap2 system we support
is the Nokia n8x0 PDA). So you'd need to add QEMU support for your
dev board, which means writing models of any interesting devices
it has which aren't in the OMAP2 itself, and also adding a board
model which specifies the details of how this stuff is all
connected together.
