running mini2440 on the Qemu

Piyush
Hello to all

I am very much thankful to you all and to this forum because they always
proved to me the helping hand whenever I got some problem.

So this time I have got the problem which you most of you people have
solved very much.


Guys ! I always used to develop my program and test it by transferring it
to the mini2440 development board , but in doing so I waste lot of my time
in just transferring and checking the code whether it is working well or
not.


So I want to run the whole of mini2440 on the QEMU emulator and as a system
so that I can check my program on the desktop and when it operate
successfully than to transfer to the mini2440 board finally.


So please guys can you share with me the steps to followed or the website
or the blog where complete howto is given to do this.


I have searched a lot but they are either incomplete or not well documented
, So I felt a need to ask you people.


So please help me guys in this matter.



Thank you

issues with NFS an I didn't success to run Linux.

followed ?

Thanks

I followed this tutoriel in order to install, set and compile Qemu :

http://benoit.vince84.free.fr/mediawiki-1.16.0/index.php5?title=QEmu

I also put that when u-boot was running :

#run set_bootargs_nand
#saveenv
#setenv bootcmd 'nboot.e kernel ; bootm'


And I get that : http://pastebin.com/sY4yEypE


It will be very usefull if someone can help us, because it's practical to
test his code without to have to connect the Mini440 and to have to do some
transferts.

Thanks

ok baby your error is kernel panic .


do one thing try to run the uboot from the qemu/mini2440 folder I mean with
both the mini2440 startup script and uboot in the same folder and also
double check your connections, I think this should work.

and thanks for sharing the sites.

cheers

U-boot was in the same folder that the startup script.

Maybe the NFS connection hax issue because I never use it and I maybe have
to install or configure something ?
