Hackable:1 under Qemu

for pennyless hackers

You need:

+ qemu-neo1973, from openmoko (use the mokomakefile, make qemu, if you get a weird error from mokomakefile see below)
+ a working uboot (as of 09/01/04, the "daily" one doesn't work great) e.g. http://trac.hackable1.org/trac/raw-attachment/wiki/H1_under_Qemu/uboot-ok.bin
+ a GNU/Linux box, fdisk, kpartx, tar...

Download image content

wget http://download.hackable1.org/h1-fat_partition.tgz
wget http://download.hackable1.org/h1-ext2_partition-rev2.tar.gz

Creation of the image

Get creation script

wget http://trac.hackable1.org/trac/raw-attachment/wiki/H1_under_Qemu/create_SD_image.sh

Make it executable

chmod a+x create_SD_image.sh

Start it

./create_SD_image.sh

If you want more output from the create script, do this

BUCKET=/tmp/more_output ./create_SD_image.sh
cat /tmp/more_output

Booting up

# cd path/to/openmoko/qemu/openmoko
# wget http://zecrazytux.net/Bordel/h1/flash-h1.sh # (also attached to this page)
# wget http://zecrazytux.net/Bordel/h1/uboot-ok.bin # (also attached to this page)
# cd ..; openmoko/flash-h1.sh
$ wget http://zecrazytux.net/Bordel/h1/run-h1.sh # (also attached to this page)
$ vi run-h1.sh
$ ./run-h1.sh

Mokomakefile errors - OUTDATED

If you get this error while compiling qemu-neo1973 :

[ -e images/openmoko ] || mkdir -p images/openmoko
ln -sf `pwd`/openmoko/trunk/src/host/qemu-neo1973/openmoko/env images/openmoko/env
( cd images && ../openmoko/trunk/src/host/qemu-neo1973/openmoko/download.sh )
/usr/bin/gmake
which: no gecho in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:/usr/games/bin)
    Retrieving available builds list...

make: *** [download-images] Erreur 255

Do the following :

# wget --no-check-certificate https://trac.hackable1.org/trac/raw-attachment/wiki/H1_under_Qemu/mokorepofix.diff
# patch -p0 < mokorepofix.diff

then run again :

# make qemu

This patch fixes an error in the env file of openmoko that makes the download process try to download from a non-existent location the current devel image.

It will obviously not be needed anymore when the openmoko developpers will fix the issue !

This step is obsolete, an updated patch is needed and will be provided soon.

replace Xglamo by xfbdev

Install xserver-xfbdev and delete the link: /usr/bin/X and create a new one from /usr/bin/Xfbdev
