QEMU Xtensa
===========
QEMU for Xtensa supports a special 'virt' machine designed for emulation and
virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.
The QEMU virt machine models a generic Xtensa virtual machine with PCI Bus
and Xtensa ISS simcall semihosting support. It supports many different Xtensa
CPU configuration. Currently, only dc233c variant is tested against U-Boot.
Building U-Boot
---------------
Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable as usual, and run:
make qemu-xtensa-dc233c_defconfig
make
Note that Xtensa's toolchain is bounded to CPU configuration, you must use
the toolchain built for exactly the same CPU configuration as you selected
in U-Boot.
Running U-Boot
--------------
The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is:
qemu-system-xtensa -nographic -machine virt -cpu dc233c -semihosting -kernel ./u-boot.elf
You many change cpu option to match your U-Boot CPU type configuration.
semihosting option is mandatory because this is the only way to interact
with U-Boot in command line.
