Description brian avery 2017-05-18 18:10:27 UTC 
For example if I run 
$ runqemu ../vmlinux.bin-qemumips64.bin ../core-image-sato-sdk-qemumips64.ext4

I get :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/big/src/myBugs/poky/scripts/runqemu", line 1238, in <module>
    ret = main()
  File "/big/src/myBugs/poky/scripts/runqemu", line 1231, in main
    config.start_qemu()
  File "/big/src/myBugs/poky/scripts/runqemu", line 1142, in start_qemu
    raise Exception('Failed to run %s' % cmd)

But, if you actually run the /qemu-system-mips64 command, you see:
qemu: could not load kernel '/big/src/myBugs/CH_HUAT/vmlinux.bin-qemumips64.bin'


which is quite a bit more helpful.


runqemu should capture and print out stdout/stderr from qemu-system-XXX when it fails and print it out.

Should be fixed by this patch: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-May/137169.html

please, review
