[Qemu-discuss] How do i tell QEMU that memory i've have mapped is code?

[Peter Fillmore]

Hello,
I need help in understanding on how to map memory in qemu..
I’m currently trying to create a board package for a NXP LPC213x SoC and am 
running into difficulties in creating a “boot loader” section of code in a 
defined section of memory(i.e embedded in production code).

My idea is to create a section of memory in the area needed and load shim code 
to return the wanted values.

I’m able to create and load the section with the instructions - but when it 
jumps to the section of memory i get the following memory error:

> "qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x7ffffff0”

The memory is correctly initialised, but i can’t work out how to tell qemu that 
this is another section of flash/ram. 

heres the code which creates the memory (contained in a custom driver):

> memory_region_init_ram(&s->iomem, OBJECT(dev), "arm-lpc213x-iap", 0x1000, 
> NULL);
> sysbus_init_mmio(sd, &s->iomem);
> char *memptr = memory_region_get_ram_ptr(&s->iomem) ;
> memcpy(memptr,iapcode, sizeof(iapcode));

Thanks for any assistance.
