Dingux + qemu
« on: November 30, 2010, 11:19:38 am »
Hi.
( Sorry for my english,)

I need your help.

I want launch Dingux on qemu. For that, I try with qemu on Debian. But my kernel ( opendingoo ) don't want launching. Because a320 hardware isn't present. Ok, no prob.

I compil qemu-dingoo ( https://github.com/mthuurne/qemu-dingoo ), I try with my kernel, no error message, cool. But I can't see nothing. I use xvnc4view on :5900, and I see a black screen. I supposs to need a launcher for my kernel. What can I do ?



Sorry for the poor explanation. I want to use qemu because it's more easy to develop. Directly on the Dingoo, it's working but I lost a lot of time.
You can see my work for the moment on this video :

...wait, so you got the kernel running

...no rootfs? it's kind of needed so that something can be run, without that you won't even get sh

So. I try now with a "basic" kernel for dingux. I add rootfs in virtual hard drive ( qcow2 ), who is formated in fat32 with one partition ( like a standard SD card ). But nothing.

For launching qemu, i use this command line :
Code: [Select]
@debianDesktop:~/$ qemu-system-mipsel -M a320 -kernel zImage -hda dingoo.qcow2
Warning: vlan 0 with no nics
VNC server running on `::1:5900'
jz4740_cpu_reset: UNIMPLEMENTED!

For launch VNC ( mmmmh, before that, I never use VNC, I prefer ssh or other command lines ) :
Code: [Select]
@debianDesktop:~$ xvnc4viewer :5900

 CConn:       connected to host localhost port 5900
 CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.8
 CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8
 TXImage:     Using default colormap and visual, TrueColor, depth 24.
 CConn:       Using pixel format depth 6 (8bpp) rgb222
 CConn:       Using ZRLE encoding

And after, only the black screen.

You need to write a video driver ;-).

There is no SLCD support yet in qemu-dingoo.

Options:
  • Implement emulation of the SLCD controller
  • Compile an OpenDingux kernel with the LCD driver instead of the SLCD driver
  • Use Dingux by attaching a getty to the serial port (no graphics though, so probably not useful in most scenarios)

Note that my qemu-dingoo branch is a work in progress. The furthest I got it was mounting the rootfs, but it hung soon after that. I suspect that my SD controller emulation code might be losing interrupts. I did see the penguin and the boot messages though (with the LCD driver).
