=== Build directions === | |||
./configure --target-list=ppc-softmmu && make | |||
Due to mouse issues when using the default GTK GUI in Windows, it is advisable to use the SDL-based GUI when compiling on/for that platform: | |||
./configure --target-list=ppc-softmmu --enable-sdl && make | |||
=== Pre-built binaries for Windows and OSX === | |||
Pre-built binaries for Windows can be found here: https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/ <br> | |||
Pre-built binaries for OSX are provided at the emaculation website: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8848 <br> | |||

=== Eyetech AmigaOne/Mai Logic Teron === | |||
The AmigaNG boards (amigaone, pegasos2, sam460ex) are primarily used for running Amiga-like OSes (AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS) but these can also run Linux. | |||
Eyetech AmigaOne/Mai Logic Teron (amigaone) | |||
The amigaone machine emulates an AmigaOne XE mainboard by Eyetech which is a rebranded Mai Logic Teron board with modified U-Boot firmware to support AmigaOS 4. | |||
Emulated devices: | |||
* PowerPC 7457 CPU (can also use``-cpu g3, 750cxe, 750fx`` or ``750gx``) | |||
* Articia S north bridge | |||
* VIA VT82C686B south bridge | |||
* PCI VGA compatible card (guests may need other card instead) | |||
* PS/2 keyboard and mouse | |||
To boot, a modified U-Boot binary is needed. While released under GPL, its source is lost so it cannot be included in QEMU. | |||
A binary is available at https://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/index.php/downloads?view=files&parent=28. | |||
The ROM image is in the last 512kB of the file, which, on a linux host, can be extracted with the command: | |||
tail -c 524288 updater.image > u-boot-amigaone.bin | |||
The BIOS emulator in the firmware is unable to run QEMU‘s standard vgabios so VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.bin is needed instead. | |||
This can be downloaded from http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios. | |||
You can find some Linux images that work on the amigaone machine at the following link: | |||
https://sourceforge.net/projects/amigaone-linux/files/debian-installer/ | |||
Booting: | |||
./qemu-system-ppc -machine amigaone -bios u-boot-amigaone.bin \ | |||
-cdrom "A1 Linux Net Installer.iso" \ | |||
-device ati-vga,model=rv100,romfile=VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.bin | |||
From the firmware menu that appears select Boot sequence, Amiga Multiboot Options and set Boot device 1 to Onboard VIA IDE CDROM. | |||
Then hit escape until the main screen appears, hit escape once more and from the exit menu select either Save settings and exit or Use settings for this session only. | |||
It may take a long time loading the kernel into memory but eventually it boots and the installer becomes visible. | |||
The ati-vga RV100 emulation is not complete yet so only frame buffer works, DRM and 3D is not available. | |||

=== Debugging qemu-system-ppc with GDB on an x86 Linux host === | |||
To build gdb-powerpc-linux on Linux, you need the normal build tools such as GCC installed. | |||
Download the GDB source code. Version 7.9 is reported to work: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.9.tar.gz | |||
Unpack it and cd into the dir, then build and install with: | |||
./configure -target=powerpc-linux --enable-sim-powerpc | |||
make && sudo make install | |||
Launch qemu-system-ppc(64) with -s and -S. Qemu will pause and listen on port 1234 for GDB. | |||
Set -prom-env "auto-boot?=false" --nographic on the command line for the Qemu instance to be debugged. | |||
qemu-system-ppc -s -S -prom-env "auto-boot?=false" --nographic | |||
Open another terminal and launch the GDB you just built: | |||
gdb-powerpc-linux | |||
target remote localhost:1234 | |||
continue | |||
You can set a breakpoint in GDB, like this: | |||
break *0x20dccc | |||
Type "boot" in the terminal running Qemu. | |||

Eyetech AmigaOne/Mai Logic Teron
The AmigaNG boards (amigaone, pegasos2, sam460ex) are primarily used for running Amiga-like OSes (AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS) but these can also run Linux.
Eyetech AmigaOne/Mai Logic Teron (amigaone) The amigaone machine emulates an AmigaOne XE mainboard by Eyetech which is a rebranded Mai Logic Teron board with modified U-Boot firmware to support AmigaOS 4.
Emulated devices:
* PowerPC 7457 CPU (can also use``-cpu g3, 750cxe, 750fx`` or ``750gx``) * Articia S north bridge * VIA VT82C686B south bridge * PCI VGA compatible card (guests may need other card instead) * PS/2 keyboard and mouse
To boot, a modified U-Boot binary is needed. While released under GPL, its source is lost so it cannot be included in QEMU. A binary is available at https://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/index.php/downloads?view=files&parent=28. The ROM image is in the last 512kB of the file, which, on a linux host, can be extracted with the command:
tail -c 524288 updater.image > u-boot-amigaone.bin
The BIOS emulator in the firmware is unable to run QEMU‘s standard vgabios so VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.bin is needed instead. This can be downloaded from http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios.
You can find some Linux images that work on the amigaone machine at the following link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/amigaone-linux/files/debian-installer/
Booting:
./qemu-system-ppc -machine amigaone -bios u-boot-amigaone.bin \ -cdrom "A1 Linux Net Installer.iso" \ -device ati-vga,model=rv100,romfile=VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.bin
From the firmware menu that appears select Boot sequence, Amiga Multiboot Options and set Boot device 1 to Onboard VIA IDE CDROM. Then hit escape until the main screen appears, hit escape once more and from the exit menu select either Save settings and exit or Use settings for this session only. It may take a long time loading the kernel into memory but eventually it boots and the installer becomes visible. The ati-vga RV100 emulation is not complete yet so only frame buffer works, DRM and 3D is not available.
aCube Sam460ex
Booting:
./qemu-system-ppc -machine sam460ex -rtc base=localtime \ -drive if=none,id=cd,file=Sam460InstallCD-53.58.iso,format=raw \ -device ide-cd,drive=cd,bus=ide.1
Xilinx Virtex ML507 reference design
./qemu-system-ppc -m virtex-ml507
Debugging tips
Command line options
-d unimp,guest_errors
(logs unimplemented features and guest errors to stdout)
-trace 'pmu_*'
(logs all PMU accesses to stdout)
-trace 'usb*'
(logs all USB accesses to stdout)
Macsbug
Macsbug can be used with Mac OS guest to tell you what exactly stopped booting. The link for it is below.
Mac OS 9.2 comes with a built-in debugger. To use it, set the OpenBIOS variable “APPL,debug”:
Via QEMU's command-line options:
-prom-env aapl,debug=2000000
In OpenBIOS type:
dev /
2000000 encode-int *Note: the number can be replaced with the many options available
“ AAPL,debug” property
then to boot from a cd type:
boot cd:,\\:tbxi
To boot from a hard drive image:
boot hd:,\\:tbxi
Debugging qemu-system-ppc with GDB on an x86 Linux host
To build gdb-powerpc-linux on Linux, you need the normal build tools such as GCC installed. Download the GDB source code. Version 7.9 is reported to work: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.9.tar.gz Unpack it and cd into the dir, then build and install with:
./configure -target=powerpc-linux --enable-sim-powerpc make && sudo make install
Launch qemu-system-ppc(64) with -s and -S. Qemu will pause and listen on port 1234 for GDB. Set -prom-env "auto-boot?=false" --nographic on the command line for the Qemu instance to be debugged.
qemu-system-ppc -s -S -prom-env "auto-boot?=false" --nographic
Open another terminal and launch the GDB you just built:
gdb-powerpc-linux target remote localhost:1234 continue
You can set a breakpoint in GDB, like this:
break *0x20dccc
Type "boot" in the terminal running Qemu.
Emulated hardware issues
Mac OS
-Only Mac OS 9.x support sound well. Use an experimental build.
-Mac OS 9.x will not boot with 64 Mb or less memory. They will also not boot with more than 1024 Mb.
