Notes for the Qemu MIPS port
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I) Example usage:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# ln -s u-boot.bin mips_bios.bin
 | 
						|
start it:
 | 
						|
qemu-system-mips -L . /dev/null -nographic
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
or
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
if you use a qemu version after commit 4224
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
create image:
 | 
						|
# dd of=flash bs=1k count=4k if=/dev/zero
 | 
						|
# dd of=flash bs=1k conv=notrunc if=u-boot.bin
 | 
						|
start it:
 | 
						|
# qemu-system-mips -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2) Download kernel + initrd
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/contrib/Jean-Christophe_Plagniol-Villard/qemu_mips/
 | 
						|
you can downland
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#config to build the kernel
 | 
						|
qemu_mips_defconfig
 | 
						|
#patch to fix mips interrupt init on 2.6.24.y kernel
 | 
						|
qemu_mips_kernel.patch
 | 
						|
initrd.gz
 | 
						|
vmlinux
 | 
						|
vmlinux.bin
 | 
						|
System.map
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
4) Generate uImage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# tools/mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x80010000 -e 0x80245650 -n "Linux 2.6.24.y" -d vmlinux.bin.gz uImage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
5) Copy uImage to Flash
 | 
						|
# dd if=uImage bs=1k conv=notrunc seek=224 of=flash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
6) Generate Ide Disk
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# dd of=ide bs=1k cout=100k if=/dev/zero
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# sfdisk -C 261 -d ide
 | 
						|
# partition table of ide
 | 
						|
unit: sectors
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     ide1 : start=       63, size=    32067, Id=83
 | 
						|
     ide2 : start=    32130, size=    32130, Id=83
 | 
						|
     ide3 : start=    64260, size=  4128705, Id=83
 | 
						|
     ide4 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
7) Copy to ide
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# dd if=uImage bs=512 conv=notrunc seek=63 of=ide
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
8) Generate ext2 on part 2 on Copy uImage and initrd.gz
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Attached as loop device ide offset = 32130 * 512
 | 
						|
# losetup -o 16450560 -f ide
 | 
						|
# Format as ext2 ( arg2 : nb blocks)
 | 
						|
# mke2fs /dev/loop0 16065
 | 
						|
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
 | 
						|
# Mount and copy uImage and initrd.gz to it
 | 
						|
# mount -o loop,offset=16450560 -t ext2 ide /mnt
 | 
						|
# mkdir /mnt/boot
 | 
						|
# cp {initrd.gz,uImage} /mnt/boot/
 | 
						|
# Umount it
 | 
						|
# umount /mnt
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
9) Set Environment
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
setenv rd_start 0x80800000
 | 
						|
setenv rd_size 2663940
 | 
						|
setenv kernel BFC38000
 | 
						|
setenv oad_addr 80500000
 | 
						|
setenv load_addr2 80F00000
 | 
						|
setenv kernel_flash BFC38000
 | 
						|
setenv load_addr_hello 80200000
 | 
						|
setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/ram0 init=/bin/sh'
 | 
						|
setenv load_rd_ext2 'ide res; ext2load ide 0:2 ${rd_start} /boot/initrd.gz'
 | 
						|
setenv load_rd_tftp 'tftp ${rd_start} /initrd.gz'
 | 
						|
setenv load_kernel_hda 'ide res; diskboot ${load_addr} 0:2'
 | 
						|
setenv load_kernel_ext2 'ide res; ext2load ide 0:2 ${load_addr} /boot/uImage'
 | 
						|
setenv load_kernel_tftp 'tftp ${load_addr} /qemu_mips/uImage'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_ext2_ext2 'run load_rd_ext2; run load_kernel_ext2; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_ext2_flash 'run load_rd_ext2; run addmisc; bootm ${kernel_flash}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_ext2_hda 'run load_rd_ext2; run load_kernel_hda; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_ext2_tftp 'run load_rd_ext2; run load_kernel_tftp; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_tftp_hda 'run load_rd_tftp; run load_kernel_hda; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_tftp_ext2 'run load_rd_tftp; run load_kernel_ext2; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_tftp_flash 'run load_rd_tftp; run addmisc; bootm ${kernel_flash}'
 | 
						|
setenv boot_tftp_tftp 'run load_rd_tftp; run load_kernel_tftp; run addmisc; bootm ${load_addr}'
 | 
						|
setenv load_hello_tftp 'tftp ${load_addr_hello} /examples/hello_world.bin'
 | 
						|
setenv go_tftp 'run load_hello_tftp; go ${load_addr_hello}'
 | 
						|
setenv addmisc 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} console=ttyS0,${baudrate} rd_start=${rd_start} rd_size=${rd_size} ethaddr=${ethaddr}'
 | 
						|
setenv bootcmd 'run boot_tftp_flash'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
10) Now you can boot from flash, ide, ide+ext2 and tfp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# qemu-system-mips -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic -net nic -net user -tftp `pwd` -hda ide
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
II) How to debug U-Boot
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to debug U-Boot you need to start qemu with gdb server support (-s)
 | 
						|
and waiting the connection to start the CPU (-S)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# qemu-system-mips -S -s -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic -net nic -net user -tftp `pwd` -hda ide
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
in an other console you start gdb
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1) Debugging of U-Boot Before Relocation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Before relocation, the addresses in the ELF file can be used without any problems
 | 
						|
by connecting to the gdb server localhost:1234
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gdb u-boot
 | 
						|

						|
2) Debugging of U-Boot After Relocation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For debugging U-Boot after relocation we need to know the address to which
 | 
						|
U-Boot relocates itself to 0x87fa0000 by default.
 | 
						|
And replace the symbol table to this offset.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(gdb) symbol-file
 | 
						|
Discard symbol table from `/private/u-boot-arm/u-boot'? (y or n) y
 | 
						|
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1:
 | 
						|
No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
 | 
						|
