You cannot just enable qemu support for an arbitrary MACHINE setting - you must define your own machine, making sure that you include only such peripheral support (i. e. drivers) for which emulation under qemu exists. > When I first set up ELDK, I examined the conf file to see what options were > available. > I found the option to test the build using QEMU.

When making any significant changes to the configuration, it is usually best to throw away the whole build tree and restart from scratch. > I had a similar experience later (see my conversations with Detlev) when > bitbake did > not pick up one of my modifications and I had to wipe everything out and > start over. Actually this is the most reliable way to make sure you get what you configured (which may still be different from what you want). > I cannot always tell when bitbake is using cached configuration data and when > it > will do a rebuild. When in doubt, I wipe everything out now. ACK.
