I guess the steps are 1) add qemuppc64 machine, 2) enable ppc64 in qemu 3) test. 63003 2 ross.burton 2016-06-15 14:06:41 +0000 Also CCing Armin who wrote a machine for qemuppc64. Getting this into oe-core itself would be a good step forwards. 63004 3 mark.hatle 2016-06-15 14:13:36 +0000 There are NXP (formerly FSL) ppc64 machines that would still be useful to have an emulated PPC64 target for. In addition we've got associated tooling like prelink and just general testing that would be a good idea. However, since our focus as been on the NXP parts, we've not had any work performed to implemented qemuppc64. I would still like to see this from a community perspective, but I don't have the time to contribute at this point. 63040 4 akuster 2016-06-16 15:13:26 +0000 sorry missed meeting ( jet lagged). Ported forward changes. Compile tested core-image-minimal fine. 63072 5 akuster 2016-06-16 18:28:53 +0000 looks like I might need an additional native package qemu-slof. Had to install that to get the host qemuppc64 to work on my Ubuntu host. 63086 6 akuster 2016-06-17 07:07:20 +0000 have it booting a 4.4 kernel. console not responding to input.. configuration most likey 63193 7 akuster 2016-06-21 14:40:42 +0000 qemuppc64 target patch set sent to list. http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/125373/ 63197 8 ross.burton 2016-06-21 15:27:03 +0000 The machine builds, but usermode qemu is still non-existant: > Executing update_pixbuf_cache intercept ... /data/poky-master/tmp-glibc/sysroots/qemuppc64/usr/bin/crossscripts/qemuwrapper: 2: /data/poky-master/tmp-glibc/sysroots/qemuppc64/usr/bin/crossscripts/qemuwrapper: qemu-ppc64: not found 63266 9 akuster 2016-06-22 17:24:48 +0000 I am seeing an error similar to this when running testimage. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-04/msg00262.html 63267 10 akuster 2016-06-22 17:26:07 +0000 might be fixed via: Patch has been accepted upstream: http://git.qemu.org/?p=SLOF.git;a=commitdiff;h=e56149ca790859e0 63611 11 akuster 2016-07-03 18:17:26 +0000 sent version 2 to list https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/126029/ 73665 12 randy.macleod 2017-06-02 20:30:46 +0000 Armin, Care to do a v3? I'd test and review. It would be nice to add qemuppc64 since that would help find bugs and surprisingly, ppc64 hardware development continues. We've found some pp64 specific package defects when testing 2.4 at WR. Is there still a problem with qemu user-mode? 79582 13 juro.bystricky 2018-02-23 19:06:28 +0000 Any progress?

This time I did get the usermode qemu-ppc64 working correctly, (but not the system-qemu-ppc64). 79706 16 akuster 2018-03-05 15:55:28 +0000 I am going to spend time on this again. 88465 17 akuster808 2020-10-22 08:20:05 +0000 this looks to be in master. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=97b5b17cb1e589c592c505651608094ec33767cf
