QEMU PPC E500
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
QEMU for PPC supports a special 'ppce500' machine designed for emulation and
|
|
virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.
|
|
|
|
The QEMU ppce500 machine models a generic PowerPC e500 virtual machine with
|
|
support for the VirtIO standard networking device connected to the built-in
|
|
PCI host controller. Some common devices in the CCSBAR space are modeled,
|
|
including MPIC, 16550A UART devices, GPIO, I2C and PCI host controller with
|
|
MSI delivery to MPIC. It uses device-tree to pass configuration information
|
|
to guest software.
|
|
|
|
Building U-Boot
|
|
---------------
|
|
Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable as usual, and run::
|
|
|
|
$ make qemu-ppce500_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Running U-Boot
|
|
--------------
|
|
The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-system-ppc -nographic -machine ppce500 -bios u-boot
|
|
|
|
You can also run U-Boot using 'qemu-system-ppc64'::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -nographic -machine ppce500 -bios u-boot
|
|
|
|
The commands above create a target with 128 MiB memory by default. A freely
|
|
configurable amount of RAM can be created via the '-m' parameter. For example,
|
|
'-m 2G' creates 2 GiB memory for the target, and the memory node in the
|
|
embedded DTB created by QEMU reflects the new setting.
|
|
|
|
Both qemu-system-ppc and qemu-system-ppc64 provide emulation for the following
|
|
32-bit PowerPC CPUs:
|
|
|
|
* e500v1
|
|
* e500v2
|
|
* e500mc
|
|
|
|
Additionally qemu-system-ppc64 provides support for the following 64-bit CPUs:
|
|
|
|
* e5500
|
|
* e6500
|
|
|
|
The CPU type can be specified via the '-cpu' command line. If not specified,
|
|
it creates a machine with e500v2 core. The following example shows an e6500
|
|
based machine creation::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -nographic -machine ppce500 -cpu e6500 -bios u-boot
|
|
|
|
When U-Boot boots, you will notice the following::
|
|
|
|
CPU: Unknown, Version: 0.0, (0x00000000)
|
|
Core: e6500, Version: 2.0, (0x80400020)
|
|
|
|
This is because we only specified a core name to QEMU and it does not have a
|
|
meaningful SVR value which represents an actual SoC that integrates such core.
|
|
You can specify a real world SoC device that QEMU has built-in support but all
|
|
these SoCs are e500v1/e500v2 based MPC85xx series, hence you cannot test anything
|
|
built for P10xx/P2010/P2020 (e500v2), P204x/P304x/P40xx (e500mc), P50xx/T10xx (e5500)
|
|
and T208x/T4080/T4160/T4240 (e6500).
|
|
|
|
By default a VirtIO standard PCI networking device is connected as an ethernet
|
|
interface at PCI address 0.1.0, but we can switch that to an e1000 NIC by::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-system-ppc -nographic -machine ppce500 -bios u-boot \
|
|
-nic tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no,model=e1000
|
|
|
|
The QEMU ppce500 machine can also dynamically instantiate an eTSEC device if
|
|
"-device eTSEC" is given to QEMU::
|
|
|
|
-netdev tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no,id=net0 -device eTSEC,netdev=net0
|
|
|
|
VirtIO BLK driver is also enabled to support booting from a disk image where
|
|
a kernel image is stored. Append the following to QEMU::
|
|
|
|
-drive file=disk.img,format=raw,id=disk0 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk0
|
|
|
|
Pericom pt7c4338 RTC is supported so we can use the 'date' command::
|
|
|
|
=> date
|
|
Date: 2021-02-18 (Thursday) Time: 15:33:20
|
|
|
|
Additionally, 'poweroff' command is supported to shut down the QEMU session::
|
|
|
|
=> poweroff
|
|
poweroff ...
|
|
|
|
These have been tested in QEMU 5.2.0.
