qemu emulator for the mini2440

[buserror]

I haven't managed to load stuff from the jffs2 either for the monent. It could be for various reasons. The NAND seems happy (despite the eraseblocks) so it could be the first ARM executable (init) fails for some reason...

I'm going to try to get the SD working, as it will tell us if it's the nand and the ARM failing.

Fixed the SD problem, and I managed to boot the kernel using a real SD card used with the -sd parameter, I have Opie running in my qemu window !

You are the best!
ethernet....?

[buserror]

Bah :

+ ethernet doesn't work in the kernel so far (dhcp fails).
+ And maybe the touchscreen has the wrong coordinates
+ and yes the NAND seems borken obviously... since jffs2 doesn't work

But well, there's only me so far !

Congratulations! Well done

[buserror]

I pushed my latest changes to the git in the -stable branch; check the new mini2440/mini2440_start.sh script; thats also the directory the script will look into to load u-boot, the nand etc..
I added the emulated usb and a usb keyboard, and that seems to work.

Congratulations!!! YOU are our hero!

And Bingo! Network works, NFS root works

You can really do /amazing/ thing with qemu

With the parameter "-sd fat:/tftboot" it will emulate a SD card on the host directory /tftboot, so you can mount it as if you had a FAT card there, so you can copy files back/forth in the host directory !

Next on the list is the touchscreen/ADC; here it doesn't work properly, and eventualy freezes qemu.
After that, fixing the nand and we're done

Cool!!!!
