Goal:: "Is to emulate imx6 Quad G4 device with QEMU or any other emulation software. I have got u-boot-mx6q-4g.bin and mon_imx_minikernel.bin files from the actual working device"

I m novice to emulation world. Honestly don't know where to start. I believe QEMU supports "imx6 Quad 4G ram devices" with sabrelite board but qemu version installed on host machine Ubuntu 16.04 is missing sabrelite board, did try to install qemu-user-static but still no luck.

qemu-system-arm -M help

Supported machines list is missing sabrelite in my installation.

qemu-system-arm -version

QEMU emulator version 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.32), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

Currently my host machine is Ubuntu 16.04

$uname -a

Linux mike 4.4.0-138-generic #164-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 2 17:16:02 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any guidance is very much appreciated

  • Why would you not ensure you have the latest version of QUEMU _before_ asking the question? It is clearly antique wth a copyright date of 2008 and probably predates your board.

  • It's not quite that ancient -- 2.5 is from 2015, but there was a long period where we forgot to update the copyright dates in the version string. But it is old enough to predate the sabrelite board being added. – Peter Maydell Nov 03 '18 at 13:57
  • @Clifford thanks for the inputs OS upgrade did fix the issue. – chaitanya kiran Nov 05 '18 at 14:50

apt upgrade qemu* has not upgraded the OS.

However Sabrelite and more machine options showed up after upgrading host OS to 18.04. In process of upgrade it upgraded the QEMU also.
