I'm trying to get a test build environment working for a
Versatile Express board. I'm currently working under
QEMU, with a plan to move to the physical board
when I have a drive image I trust.
I can follow the instructions on the Fedora project wiki
to get the FC12 rootfs (rootfs-f12.tar.bz2) running under
QEMU. Sadly, that doesn't seem to have make installed
so it isn't very useful for development/
Using similar steps, I can boot the rootfs-f14-alpha1.tar.bz2
image and get it to run to the end of the rc3.d scripts, but
the tty never launches. My launch command is
`qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -cpu cortex-a9
-kernel linux-stable/arch/arm/boot/zImage -sd rootfs-f14.img
-append 'root=/dev/mmcblk0' -net nic,vlan=0 -net
tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=./qemu-ifup`
I looked at the instructions for FC15, but those seem to be
very focused on the panda board, and I'm not sure they're
appropriate for my system.
Any pointers or advice on a way forward?
Thanks,
