There is interest - I was about to look into it myself (need a lighter weight Python Maemo 5 complete runtime environment than an 8GB VM) but the lack of SGX emulation's a bit of a kicker.
Yes I agree, the usefulness would be far greater with some working SGX emulation. I can speculate it's coming sometime in the future, since the gitorious repository also hosts a gles accelerator module etc. along with the QEMU branches.
Imagine if you could combine Qt Creator + MADDE + Qemu as the device emulator. Then you don't need anything except a pc/mac/linux machine to write, build and test software!
Hi, really great work.
Can you give me some more details, how you build the nand image? I tried a bit with n900 firmware image and the qflasher tool. But I dont know exactly what to do. regards nicolai
Thanks for the interest! I will post more detailed instructions here as soon as time permits. But some hints quickly already: I did not use the N900 firmware image as such, I took the data from my running N900 device by copying the memory from /dev/mtd1ro, mtd1ro ... mtd5ro. I then took the bootloader part AND the last 8 megabytes (OOB data) from the N900 MeeGo QEMU image and combined these into a NAND image. You can figure out the sizes by observing the "dmesg" output of your device where it prints info on the MTD blocks.
Execute QEMU the same way as with the N900 MeeGo QEMU image. You should be able to do it with this quick info but I will really try to post proper, step-by-step instructions in the coming days! |
