Regarding qemu-arm-system -M beagle.... in Instruction list, but not found in qemu machine list.

[Krishna Pavan]

Hi xVisor

[ I am using commit 623fe0a from Anup's GIT Repository for beagle_board emulation on QEMU ],

With respect to the the instruction Number 13 in the document /docs/arm/beagle_board.txt

  # qemu-system-arm -M beagle -drive file=build/beagle-nand.bin,if=mtd -display none -serial stdio -s

There is no such beagle in the Supported machines list.
Here under I attach the list with qemu used
1. Have used qemu 0.15.1
2. Have used qemu 1.0
3. Have used qemu 0.12.xx.xx from Ubuntu 10.04, Synaptics Manager

No where I could find the machine "beagle" or "OMAP3530", Can you please take a look at this.

My Question is " Is there any alternative to Beagle or should I go with the realview-pb-a8 which is also a Cortex-A8 based similar to that of beagle as that is available in the machines list?"

For beagle board emulator you will have to use Linaro QEMU. Please visit, https://launchpad.net/qemu-linaro

Sorry for the missing info.

Hi xVisor,

No problem at all,

Downloaded qemu-linaro-1.0.50-2012.01 from Linaro-QEMU, As Instructed.

But, Anup, I have got this link, where qemu for OMAP3 http://code.google.com/p/qemu-omap3/downloads/list is present,

Can I use this instead of the one from Linaro,

as the above qemu-omap3 is specific to Beagle?

We had tried that link, dont use QEMU from that link.

Always prefer Linaro QEMU for BeagleBoard or OMAP3.

Hi xVisor,

Though qemu-omap3 is available, as posted by me in the earlier link,

It seems to be an old version.
Its checking for gcc 3.x, SDL, Coa and so on.

But as you know, now that many are using gcc 4.x as that's required with most of the present day softwares, it seems better to skip this.

Better go with the qemu from linaro.

Sorry to mix-up the QEMU.
