Description Randy MacLeod 2014-06-27 16:16:01 UTC 
We should support Aarch64 qemu targets.

From the qemu git repo (a9e8aeb or later), one can now build and boot a system emulator:

./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu
make
wget http://people.linaro.org/~alex.bennee/images/aarch64-linux-3.15rc2-buildroot.img

./aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine type=virt -nographic -smp 1 -m 2048  -kernel aarch64-linux-3.15rc2-buildroot.img


I think the 3.14 kernel should work for Aarch64 and the toolchain and the rest of the system should as well.

Who at Linaro can take this enhancement and complete it.
Comment 2 Nicolas Dechesne 2014-07-08 08:16:35 UTC 
Changed assignee. Fathi should be able to look into that.

thanks for the heads up
