I build and flashed mainline kernel using

1)make ARCH=arm distclean

2)make ARCH=arm bcm_defconfig

3)make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- LOADADDR=0x00008000 uImage

4)qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 128M -kernel arch/arm/boot/uImage -initrd rootfs.img -append "root=/dev/ram rdinit=/sbin/init"

QEMU shows a blank screen nothing in it. Could someone please help?

Do I need to change the machine? If yes, please let me know which machine?

  • @vinayhunachyal yes, above is wrong, I used a wrong board for broadcom config. Neither I know which one should be the correct one. I don't want to you versatile, so which board should go with broadcom config? – codey modey Mar 18 '14 at 17:05
  • is your target is broadcom i.e RPI (raspberry pi) you want emulate with qemu? – vinay hunachyal Mar 18 '14 at 17:20

    To emulate RPI on qemu is not a straight forward as qemu doest not support BCM platform ,its tricky thing to do,anyway it can be done with qemu – vinay hunachyal Mar 19 '14 at 05:15
