Do you need the flash device for configuration storage or as backing storage for your kernel? Well, I wish both... :) boot qemu as if it were a target 1. put u-boot on pflash, and boot from it. 2. have backing storage for kernel (can be mtd). 3. have data partition (can be mtd). we can skip (1) as -bios is good enough... but for (2), (3) I do not For (2) you can use the -kernel option. It should make the payload's physical address available through an environment variable. If it's a uImage, it will get loaded automatically. For (3) you can use all the emulated block storage options QEMU provides, such as virtio-pci or ahci. see solution but have either mtd or other block device support... is that possible? It's definitely possible, yes :). I simply didn't implement any mtd device emulation so far in the QEMU machine model. But patches are definitely welcome!

[U-Boot] [ppc] qemu-ppce500 howto
Hi, Trying to run the qemu-ppce500 within qemu. I am using -bios u-boot.bin and no luck, I get live signal. I am using latest u-boot master and qemu master. Command: $ ./qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -nographic -bios u-boot.bin Tried to load u-boot as well, same. Are there any patches pending or any tweak that should be done? Is there any way to provide more information? I tried: $ ./qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -nographic -M ppce500 -m 256 -s -S $ gdb (gdb) target remote :1234 Remote debugging using :1234 warning: Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time 0x in ?? () (gdb) load u-boot Loading section .bootpg, size 0x2f4 lma 0xf0 Load failed How can I inject the firmware using gdb? Thanks!
