-Notes for the Qemu MIPS port
-
-I) Example usage:
-
-# ln -s u-boot.bin mips_bios.bin
-start it:
-qemu-system-mips -L . /dev/null -nographic
-
-or
-
-if you use a qemu version after commit 4224
-
-create image:
-# dd of=flash bs=1k count=4k if=/dev/zero
-# dd of=flash bs=1k conv=notrunc if=u-boot.bin
-start it:
-# qemu-system-mips -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic
-
-2) Download kernel + initrd
-
-On ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/contrib/Jean-Christophe_Plagniol-Villard/qemu_mips/
-you can downland
-
-#config to build the kernel
-qemu_mips_defconfig
-#patch to fix mips interrupt init on 2.6.24.y kernel
-qemu_mips_kernel.patch
-initrd.gz
-vmlinux
-vmlinux.bin
-System.map
-
-4) Generate uImage
-
-# tools/mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x80010000 -e 0x80245650 -n "Linux 2.6.24.y" -d vmlinux.bin.gz uImage
-
-5) Copy uImage to Flash
-# dd if=uImage bs=1k conv=notrunc seek=224 of=flash
-
-6) Generate Ide Disk
-
-# dd of=ide bs=1k cout=100k if=/dev/zero
-
-# sfdisk -C 261 -d ide
-# partition table of ide
-unit: sectors
-
- ide1 : start= 63, size= 32067, Id=83
- ide2 : start= 32130, size= 32130, Id=83
- ide3 : start= 64260, size= 4128705, Id=83
- ide4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
-
-7) Copy to ide
-
-# dd if=uImage bs=512 conv=notrunc seek=63 of=ide
-
-8) Generate ext2 on part 2 on Copy uImage and initrd.gz
-
-# Attached as loop device ide offset = 32130 * 512
-# losetup -o 16450560 -f ide
-# Format as ext2 ( arg2 : nb blocks)
-# mke2fs /dev/loop0 16065
-# losetup -d /dev/loop0
-# Mount and copy uImage and initrd.gz to it
-# mount -o loop,offset=16450560 -t ext2 ide /mnt
-# mkdir /mnt/boot
-# cp {initrd.gz,uImage} /mnt/boot/
-# Umount it
-# umount /mnt
-
-9) Set Environment

-10) Now you can boot from flash, ide, ide+ext2 and tfp
-
-# qemu-system-mips -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic -net nic -net user -tftp `pwd` -hda ide
-
-II) How to debug U-Boot
-
-In order to debug U-Boot you need to start qemu with gdb server support (-s)
-and waiting the connection to start the CPU (-S)
-
-# qemu-system-mips -S -s -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic -net nic -net user -tftp `pwd` -hda ide
-
-in an other console you start gdb
-
-1) Debugging of U-Boot Before Relocation
-
-Before relocation, the addresses in the ELF file can be used without any problems
-by connecting to the gdb server localhost:1234
-
-# mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gdb u-boot

-
-2) Debugging of U-Boot After Relocation
-
-For debugging U-Boot after relocation we need to know the address to which
-U-Boot relocates itself to 0x87fa0000 by default.
-And replace the symbol table to this offset.
-
-(gdb) symbol-file
-Discard symbol table from `/private/u-boot-arm/u-boot'? (y or n) y
-Error in re-setting breakpoint 1:
