JulienB: move old method (ramdisk)

move old method (ramdisk)

	$ qemu-img create -f qcow rootfs.arm_nofpu2.img 20M		$ qemu-img create -f qcow rootfs.arm_nofpu2.img 20M
	</pre>		</pre>

			==Launch it (old method)==
			* first time with ramdisk
			[armadeus]$ qemu-system-arm -m 32 -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-versatile \
			-initrd apf9328-rootfs.arm.ext2.gz -append "root=/dev/ram" -hda ./apf9328-rootfs.arm_nofpu2.img

			[[Image:qemu_apf_ramdisk.png]]

			* When system has booted, we will create the "hard disk" image. But first, if you are French, load a usable keymap:
			<pre class="apf">
			# loadkmap < /etc/i18n/fr.kmap
			</pre>
			<pre class="host">
			=> loqdk,qp < !etc!i&_n!fr:k,qp on your PC keyboard
			</pre>
			* then:
			<pre class="apf">
			# mkdir /tmp/dev
			# mknod /tmp/dev/sda b 8 0
			# mknod /tmp/dev/sda1 b 8 1
			# fdisk /tmp/dev/sda
			n p 1 <enter> <enter> w
			# mkfs.ext2 /tmp/dev/sda1
			</pre>
			* Now we can mount our brand new file system:
			<pre class="apf">
			# mkdir /mnt/root
			# mount /tmp/dev/sda1 /mnt/root
			</pre>
			{{Note\|Following steps need you already configured [[Communicate \| tftp]] on your host and networking up and running}}

			* And now we can populate it:
			<pre class="apf">
			# cd /mnt/root
			# tftp -g -r apf27-rootfs.arm.tar -l rootfs.arm.tar [HOST IP]
			# tar -xvf rootfs.arm.tar
			</pre>

			* Finally halt the emulated system and, next boot, we can omit the initrd image:
			[armadeus]$ qemu-system-arm -m 32 -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-versatile \
			-append "root=/dev/sda1" -hda ./apf9328-rootfs.arm_nofpu2.img

JulienB: New page: ==Get/generate simulation images (old version = with ramdisk)== * In our tests we used the QEMU Versatile PB emulated hardware. To get a compatible Linux kernel for this board then:

New page
==Get/generate simulation images (old version = with ramdisk)==

* In our tests we used the QEMU Versatile PB emulated hardware. To get a compatible Linux kernel for this board then:

<pre class="host">

 $ cd your_armadeus_view/

 $ wget http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/arm-versatile/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-versatile

</pre>

* get some useful environment variables:

<pre class="host">

 $ make shell_env

 $ source armadeus_env.sh

</pre>

* in ''$ARMADEUS_ROOTFS_DIR/etc/inittab'', comment following line:

<pre class="host">

 ttySMX0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttySMX0 115200,57600,38400 vt100

</pre>

* Generate your Armadeus Rootfs as an EXT2 image:

<pre class="host">

 $ make menuconfig

</pre>

<pre class="config">

Target filesystem options  ---> 

    [*] ext2 root filesystem

    ... (keep all default options)

</pre>

<pre class="host">

 $ make

</pre>

* be sure that your rootfs image is less than 16Mbytes (Ramdisk limit)

<pre class="host">

$ ls -al $ARMADEUS_BINARIES/*.ext2

</pre>

* and zip it (we will use it as Ramdisk first):

<pre class="host">

 $ gzip -9 $ARMADEUS_BINARIES/apfxx-rootfs.arm.ext2

</pre>

* Create a fake QEMU Hard disk image

<pre class="host">

 $ qemu-img create -f qcow rootfs.arm_nofpu2.img 20M

</pre>
