Hi all,

I'd like to build a small test network of QNX x86 and PowerPC machines using qemu.

The wiki says that the startup for non-x86 targets is a bit different.  Does anyone know how to make it work? (I am new 
to qemu)  And is there a build file for a minimal ppc build on qemu?

Thanks

Re: QNX on non-x86 qemu targets

qemu-system-ppc only supports a couple of boards, I can only boot PREP currently with Linux target, of course Linux host
 too.
taihu and ref405ep can't work with u-boot for now. didn't try mac yet because no interest.

I didn't find bsp for taihu so only ref405ep is a choice, but seems no ipl support either, so u-boot is one choice but 
qemu didn't support it completely yet, I need to read more to see whether it is worth or I can patch for qemu. a lot of 
code need to read:(

but seems someone used another ppc emulator to boot u-boot, then it is easy to most embedded OSes:)
