Might it be possible to replace it with OpenBIOS? Sure, and as both are GPL useful, code can be shared. But some PPC developers are needed. It may still be easier to fix the OHW bugs than start over anew. Not sure I understand... I thought Open Firmware was based on platform independent Forth code? I'm running on ppc64 and could try to compile something under Linux in case that's the problem. I had previously commented on ppc emulation issues but had not received any replies. I've not been able to do anything useful with the ppc emulation despite its status being "OK" on the qemu page. When I start it (compiled with the patch recently attached), using qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom debian-40r0-powerpc-netinst.iso this is what I see on the console: starting qemu... init_ppc_proc: PVR 0008 mask => 0008 The (Cocoa) screen then has some apparent debug information rushing by and an ERROR: Give range: start 0x30 0x10 and unreadable chars before the Debian yaboot screen; looks and behaves okay from there. If I type "install" or "install video=ofonly" it starts to do some things, intermixed with lots of these: ERROR: Give range: [...] HFS ERROR in hfs_get_bloc: Block 8192 not found ERROR: bloc: -1 part size: 477144 5834a00 ERROR: OF_property_copy cannot get property 'device_type' for [...] ERROR: overlap: start 0x1d0 virt 0x200 end 0x210 0x[...] ERROR: No range match ! ERROR: Give range: [...] and it ends with Calling quiesce ... returning from prom_init Some of the "funny output" does not appear if I use the -nographic option but the errors remain. If I use qemu-system-ppc64 with the "install64" yaboot option it is shortened to this: Please wait, loading kernel... ERROR: Give range: start 0x140 0x60 Elf64 kernel loaded... Loading ramdisk... ERROR: Give range: start 0x1a0 0x40 ERROR: Give range: start 0x1e0 0x40 HFS ERROR in hfs_get_bloc: Block 8192 not found ERROR: bloc: -1 part size: 477144 5834a00 ramdisk loaded at 01a0, size: 4095 Kbytes invalid/unsupported opcode: 1e - 12 - 1b (782106e4) 0x014080e4 1 So no better. "install64" works fine on real hardware, thus the DVD image should be okay. Interestingly the fallback after quiesce, as seen in ppc emulation, occurs when trying 32-bit "install" on a real ppc64. Questions: Do you get the same results? Or are those an OS X or an endianness issue? Which part is an OHW bug and which on the qemu side of things? Any workarounds or pointers to fix it? The Sparc32/OpenBIOS combination has been working much better than this for me... Andreas

I've talked about that idea long ago. Theorically there should be no problem, as OpenBIOS already supports PowerPC. You'll have just to implement filesystems for HFS and booters for CHRP and Mac OS (OHW has them). Just compile OBIOS for PPC and try it :p Regards!

[Qemu-devel] What is the current support state for APCI
I have been following this list as a lurker for about a month and I am interested to see what development activities are moving forward towards APCI support. In reading the online forums, I see discussion involving APCI related issues, but never any resolution. Can anyone share with me where development is at for APCI, or provide a URL where I can RTFM? TIA for any replies, Jerry

Thanks for your answer, "Blue Swirl", >Did you try the current Qemu in CVS? Not the last one, but I've tried the snapshot available on this page: http://www1.interq.or.jp/~t-takeda/qemu/ It reported error (qemu: fatal: Trap 0x29 while interrupts disabled, Error state), printed register values and shut down. Maybe I'll try the latest CVS tommorow and report back . Regards, Grzegorz Galezowski

Did you try the current Qemu in CVS? Please note that the tested Solaris version must support Sparc32 (V8) CPUs, Sparc64 can't run even Linux.

[Qemu-devel] What is the current support state for Sparc emulation?
Hi, I'd like to ask what is the state of Sparc emulation by qemu. Can it run Solaris? I've seen and tried the qemu-system-sparc binary for windows, but it has serious problems with even reading the CD. Was anyone successful at running Solaris at emulated Sparc on qemu? If yes, which version was it? Thank you in advance for your answers, Grzegorz Galezowski
