Hi All,

I added QEMU support to the X5000 Linux kernel for testing today. Now, it's possible to boot the X5000 Linux kernel in a virtual P5020DS machine as well.

Could you please test this kernel with your X5000? I would like to know if it boots and works on your X5000.

Download: uImage-4.16_qemu

I tested the kernel with SliTaz PPC Linux.

You can boot the kernel with QEMU with the following command:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc64 -cpu e5500 -M mpc8544ds -m 2048 -initrd /home/christian/Downloads/slitaz25.gz -nographic -kernel /home/christian/Downloads/uImage-4.16_qemu -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -machine dt_compatible=fsl,,P5020DS -append "root=/dev/ramdisk"

Thanks,
Christian

QEMU: You can also boot it with the machine ppce500:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -initrd /home/christian/Downloads/slitaz25.gz -nographic -kernel /home/christian/Downloads/uImage-4.16_qemu -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -machine dt_compatible=fsl,,P5020DS -append "root=/dev/ramdisk"

I booted the two virtual e5500 QEMU machines with the following commands:

Code: Select all

./qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -nographic -kernel /home/christian/Downloads/vmlinux-4.16.12-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000/X5000/uImage-4.16 -drive format=raw,file=/home/christian/Dokumente/ubuntu_MATE_16.04.3_LTS_PowerPC_QEMU/ubuntu_MATE_16.04_PowerPC.img,index=0,if=virtio -nic user,model=e1000 -append "rw root=/dev/vda3"

Code: Select all

./qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -kernel /home/christian/Downloads/vmlinux-4.16.12-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000/QEMU_e5500/uImage-4.16 -drive format=raw,file=/home/christian/Downloads/MATE_PowerPC_Remix_2017_0.9.img,index=0,if=virtio -nic user,model=e1000 -append "rw root=/dev/vda" -device virtio-vga -device virtio-mouse-pci -device virtio-keyboard-pci

I cross compiled the kernels on my PC today. Please test them on your X5000 and X1000.

Thanks in advance,
Christian
