Re: [Qemu-devel] ARM CPU Speed simulated by Qemu?

2006-09-12 Thread K. Richard Pixley
I have at least one 450Mhz k6 in my spare bedroom. I'll by happy to sell it to you as a platform for running debian and qemu. I'm sure it's performance would be lower than most of the current amd processors, though it might not be slower than some of the current intel chips, (*grin*).

[Qemu-devel] qemu arm eabi (armel)

2006-09-26 Thread K. Richard Pixley
Does anyone have qemu running in user emulation with arm eabi, (armel), traps? I can get qemu-system booting an armel system. And I can get qemu-user running with the codesourcery gcc-3 eabi libc's, (ie, the ones with the codesourcery kernel call shims), but I haven't gotten it working yet

Ok, then I'm confused because I'm seeing dumps just trying to run a null program. Unless there's NPTL setup stuff in crt0, I can't guess what might be going on yet. This same null binary runs on a qemu-system with suitable rootfs kernel. --rich [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./qemu-arm --version

[Qemu-devel] qemu-arm is a shared library?

2006-09-29 Thread K. Richard Pixley
When I build qemu-0.8.2, qemu-arm is a shared library rather than being an executable. This seems highly suspicious and makes it particularly difficult to debug. What's the rationale behind this? --rich ___ Qemu-devel mailing list

Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu-arm user mode

I have now managed to run a null program and a helloworld, (both eabi, linked statically, and without any thread calls), using the qemu-arm user mode, both inside and outside of scratchbox. To do this with qemu-0.8.2 I needed the following: 1) Paul's patch for NLS.
