Qemu emulator arm for tegra2

Question

I have Toradex Colibri t20 embedded board Linux image (U boot,kernel,roofs). Colibri t20 is based on tegra2 arm-cortex-a9 processor. I want to run this Linux kernel in Qemu emulator.How can i boot with qemu?

Answer 1

qemu-system-arm can run u-boot and kernel SW, only when it has support for the board that those SW were configured/built for.

ARM's versatilepb and vexpress-a9 are supported. There are good tutorials out there for using those boards, Balau on kernel , also Kumar

Bare metal simulation is less ambitious. There, roughly speaking, QEMU only has to emulate the processor. Check out Balau on bare metal . Quick search shows maybe there is support in progress for Tegra2 .

I'd suggest installing current packages on your host, see what machines and cpus are supported. Not sure of the following syntax detail, but something like qemu-system-arm -M ? is the way to get the list of supported machines.
