MIPS Malta Emulation (QEMU)
|
|
###########################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This board configuration will use QEMU to emulate the MIPS Malta platform.
|
|
|
|
This configuration provides support for an MIPS 4Kc/24Kc CPU cores and these devices:
|
|
|
|
* CP0 Interrupt Controller
|
|
* CP0 Core Timer
|
|
* NS16550 UART
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This board configuration makes no claims about its suitability for use
|
|
with an actual MIPS Malta hardware system, or any other hardware system.
|
|
|
|

Supported Features
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The following hardware features are supported:
|
|
|
|
+----------------+------------+----------------------+
|
|
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
|
|
+================+============+======================+
|
|
| CP0 IntC | on-chip | interrupt controller |
|
|
+----------------+------------+----------------------+
|
|
| CP0 Core Timer | on-chip | system clock |
|
|
+----------------+------------+----------------------+
|
|
| NS16550 | FPGA | serial port |
|
|
| UART | | |
|
|
+----------------+------------+----------------------+
|
|
|
|
The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform.
|
|
|
|
Devices
|
|
========
|
|
System Clock
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Qemu CP0 timer uses a clock frequency of 200 MHz,
|
|
see target/mips/cp0_timer.c in Qemu source tree for details.
|
|
|
|
Serial Port
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel
|
|
with the FPGA UART2.
|
|
|
|
Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the QEMU
|
|
emulated environment, for example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: qemu_malta
|
|
:goals: run
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
|
|
QEMU, and display the following console output:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|

|
Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Big-Endian
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Use this configuration to run :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample in big-endian mode:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: qemu_malta_be
|
|
:goals: run
