Hey
QEMU is really handy to try out OMAP and Versatile Express boot stuff;
the Linaro QEMU version has patches (progressively being upstreamed)
for OMAP support and allows emulating vexpress, overo, beaglexm and
beagle boards which is a good collection already. It's based of a
modern QEMU commit and contains plenty of good fixes (all on their way
to mainline).
Get a tarball from:
https://launchpad.net/qemu-linaro
Source code at:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=qemu/qemu-linaro.git;a=summary
git://git.linaro.org/qemu/qemu-linaro.git
(This is like a regular qemu git tree or tarball; usual QEMU
documentation applies.)
Binaries are available in Ubuntu and backports are in the
linaro-maintainers/tools PPA.
Some QEMU HowTos are hosted on the Linaro wiki, but they are a bit
specific to Linaro images and tools to manipulate them. Basically you
can run a beagle xm SD image with:
qemu-system-arm -M beaglexm -sd your.img
(You might want to throw the serial line output directly on your
terminal or disable graphics or various other things.)
For vexpress, you can only boot by passing a kernel or ELF image to
QEMU:
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel u-boot.bin
Cheers,
