Re: QNX VM hang on Qemu

[Faiq Ali Sayed]

Hi Clément,

So the output of the command

|  $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M xlnx-zcu102 -m 4G -no-reboot -nographic
-kernel qnx.img

is

$ pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed
$ pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
$ pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed
$ pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument

I am not using the "mkifs" rather I am using the command below..

$ mkqnximage --type=qemu --arch=aarch64le --build  --ssh-ident=none

if I use the --run option with the command it creates a VM which is working fine.

but when I use this image, with qemu command terminal is getting stuck.

BR!

Where is this 0x00100000 address coming from ? Could you confirm with
"readelf -h" that this is the entry point of your image ?

Alternatively and that's what we used locally, qemu is able to guess
the entry point of an image, when passed from -kernel. Therefore, our
command simply looks like:
  |  $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M xlnx-zcu102 -m 4G -no-reboot -nographic
-kernel qnx.img

I'm not the one having built the qnx.img we're using. But it looks
pretty standard at the first look, made with "mkifs" and the kernel
specs from zcu102 evaluation kit.

Hope it helps,
Clément
