Unable to run qemu

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

I am using the TRD 14.4 for development. I built the kernel with CONFIG_XILINX_FIXED_DEVTREE_ADDR=y"
I see the following warnings:
1. Warning: Neither atags nor dtb found
2. cma: CMA: failed to reserve 16 MiB
3. clk_divider_recalc_rate: Invalid divisor for clock 0x00000006 0x00000006
4. clk_divider_recalc_rate: Invalid divisor for clock 0x00000004 0x00000004

with these warnings the program hangs with the message:
"Calibrating delay loop..."

The device tree that i specify on the qemu command line is the same as the one used for an actual zedboard.

I am a newbie to linux and would appreciate help in understanding and resolving the issue.
The full log is as shown below.
Thanks

    Xilinx is aware and working on a fix.

    Is it going to be fixed on 14.5 only or 14.4. Any idea?
    Thanks

    I would assume only 14.5 based on past experience

    From Xilinx:

    Problem solved: The qemu's '-initrd' switch expects a plain initrd/initramfs. Not one with a u-boot header. Stripping the u-boot header from the uramdisk.image.gz file works. I think I'll upload that file to the wiki later. To remove the u-boot header from the uramdisk.image.gz file use the following command:
    dd if=./uramdisk.image.gz of=./ramdisk.image.gz skip=16 bs=4
    And then use the file 'ramdisk.image.gz' to boot on qemu.

    hi,

    I'm trying to use qemu on a Ubuntu 12.04 under VMware
    I followed the steps form http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/QEMU, the compilation went fine
    I can recompile the kernel

    these kernel and filesystem work on the zedboard

    when I launch qemu it stops at the mouse PS/2 line: is there something I have to enable or disable on the kernel configuration?

    here is the launch sequence:
    zedboard:> ./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M xilinx-zynq-a9 -m 512 -serial null -serial mon:stdio -dtb /mnt/sharedFolder/qemu/devicetree.dtb -smp 1 -nographic -kernel /mnt/sharedFolder/qemu/zImageQemu -initrd /mnt/sharedFolder/qemu/ramdisk64M.img -net nic,model=cadence_gem -net user -tftp ~/ -redir tcp:10023::23 -redir tcp:10080::80 -redir tcp:10022::22 -redir tcp:10021::21 -redir tcp:1234::1234

    in the real zedboard, after the
    mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

    the next executed line is:
    sdhci: Secured Digital Host Controller Interface driver

    so it seems that qemu cannot emulate this device: any idea how to fix this?

    best regards,

       Roberto
