Topic: Running RDC kernels under Qemu

The content of this topic has been archived on 22 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

For people with RDC-based boards (R8610, R3211 etc), you may be interested in some instructions here:

This is really only applicable to people experimenting with USB-root systems for the moment.  Bifferboard has only 1MB flash
so no room for JFFS.  Of course wireless and the r6040 network interface will not be emulated!

cheers,
Biff.

I've updated my Qemu patch adding support for the EN29LV640 8MB flash chip.  I've emulated just enough so JFFS is working, so you can now get a boot from the OpenWrt image built for the Bifferboard.

R6040 NIC is now emulated correctly, and OHCI USB is also working.  The above link has been updated with the new instructions.

The discussion might have continued from here.
