SubjectRunning arm:versatile_defconfig with qemu in linux-next
Message-ID<qJ5QZ-27f-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi all,

various versatile and realview configurations fail to run for me with
qemu (2.5) in linux-next. Some of those are qemu configurations
I collected from various sources, so I guess I am on my own there.
However, the following standard configurations no longer work.

arm:versatileab:versatile_defconfig
arm:versatilepb:versatile_defconfig

I can no longer get realview-eb-mpcore and realview-eb to work either,
but, again, that is with a qemu specific configuration.

I tried to bisect, but there have been too many related changes in the code
for it to succeed; some of the bisect attempts don't even compile, others fail
due to different problems. Is it known if versatile_defconfig in linux-next runs
on a real system ? If so, any idea what it might take to get it to work again
with qemu ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Just to be sure to rule out the obvious: are you using the dtb files from
the kernel, or do you have your own?

These are still based on board files, right? Do the normal defconfigs
work?

Please start with the next/multiplatform branch in arm-soc, which has the
conversion to devicetree. Let's first see if that works by itself. I would
hope that all commits on that branch build, but something may have gone wrong.

I don't use any dtb files for the failing configurations. That wasn't
needed (and didn't work when I first set up my test system).

I'll try to find working "normal" defconfigs. When I set up my test
system, I could not get any to work for realview-eb with qemu.

Maybe I'll just need to start using devicetree files. I'll try that.

Thanks,

I managed to get versatile_defconfig to work using the available dtb files
from the kernel, so this part is solved.

I got the following combinations to work.

Configuration                    QEMU machine            QEMU CPU
realview-smp_defconfig    realview-eb-mpcore    default (arm11mpcore)
realview_defconfig            realview-eb                  cortex-a8 (default arm926 fails)
realview-defconfig            realview-pbx-a9           default (cortex-a9)

I can not get the available dtb files for realview (arm-realview-pb1176.dtb
and arm-realview-pb11mp.dtb) to work with anything I tried.
If you know a working configuration and qemu command line,
please let me know.

I don't find a working default configuration and qemu command line for the
realview-pb-a8 machine. For pb-a8 to work, I (still) need to unconfigure
all other machines.

I think the mystery is resolved with the above results. My old configuration
for realview-pb-a8 no longer works because of configuration file changes,
and versatile now requires devicetree files.

Thanks a lot for the hint!

This is because QEMU does not model either of these two boards.

thanks
