I get further than that with the U-Boot menu coming up and also loading and starting Linux so maybe check that the U-Boot image is correct. It's just the last 512KB of the update.image binary that can be cut as described in the comment in qemu/hw/ppc/amigaone.c.
You can just use -bios path/to/u-boot-amigaone.bin without -L the 0L is only needed if you need other rom images that come with QEMU but it does not find it. I never needed to use that as it finds that if you run from the build dir.

The correct u-boot-amigaone.bin should have MD5 sum: 36d9f14f05ff5d539cc56844ff1f5d25

repeating this endlessly but I don't know what should be there.

Not sure, but it may be the nvram which AFAIK you don't emulate on Pegasos2 and AmigaOne yet.

@joerg
The nvram should be at (by the way what's cfg reg 0x61?)

U-Boot 1.1.1 (Mar  3 2005 - 16:42:53), Build: 03/03/05

At least that's where U-boot looks for it at start. The reg 0x56 is clearly marked in a comment in the U-Boot source to enable nvram and it seems to be poked constantly when reading from CD due to accessing a delay stored in an envvar. But the addresses I see after Linux kernel starts are different so it should probably some peripheral mapped there. Between fd000000-fdffffff I think there should be PCI memory 0-ffffff where e.g. VGA legacy RAM or such would appear but that seems to be mapped at different address. Maybe real machine has something else there though. Memory map I have now:

Ok, you are right. The firmware or U-Boot Preferences menu is now displayed to me after the bus 0: has been scanned.

And don't worry about -L in the command line, I copied everything into the Qemu pc-bios folder that makes it easier for me to find everything quickly. Qemu also looks for files in these directories, so it's a good choice for me.

Edit: At the moment I can only test with Linux until my AmigaOne A1/XE version of AmigaOs4.1 has arrived, testing with Linux should also be good for now to understand things a little better.

You have to build it yourself. Balaton provides everything for this on its project page. And yes I use Qemu under Mac M1 with qemu-system-ppc

If possible you should upload your MacOS QEmu binaries somewhere. Would help MacOS users who don't have the required build system installed, no skills and/or the time to install it, get the sources and build QEmu themselves.

Not too shy to talk

@LiveForIt

Take an interest in brew :

https://brew.sh/

If you don't care for your own compiled version:

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qemu

If you want to compile, you need to add the missing packages only via package brew and this should be enough.

ps
I am not on my computer right now, but I can check what you need later. You can also search on google

According to the QEmu homepage Homebrew is used for building QEmu on MacOS.
Don't know if that helps, and I don't know anything about current MacOS versions.

Edit: @smarkusg was faster.

If interested, I would provide the build for Mac M1/M2 with everything needed to test it.

At the moment I don't see much sense in it, because we can't boot Linux or AmigaOs4.1 in any way before the necessary patches are written to make it possible.

I think more important right now would be how things work on real hardware to move forward with this emulation.

You can build it yourself very easily.

1. install the package manager Brew from https://brew.sh/ this will also install Xcode for MacOs. I'm not exactly sure which dependencies are needed for building directly, but if something is missing Brew will show it to you in the terminal.

2. on https://osdn.net/projects/qmiga/scm/git/qemu/summary clone the link in the upper right corner. With "git clone http://scm.osdn.net/gitroot/qmiga/qemu.git" via the terminal. If "git" or anything else is missing you can install packages with "brew install package name" via the terminal.

If the cloning was successful navigate to your user folder, there should be Qemu as SourceCode. Now you have to choose the right branch, you can do this via the terminal "cd /path/to/Qemu git checkout amigaone" you should now be on the right branch "Amigaone" and can then configure with:

"./configure --target-list=ppc-softmmu --disable-dbus-display --enable-slirp --enable-lto --disable-virglrenderer"

"make"

Also have a look in the folder Qemu/hw/ppc/ and read the file amigaone.c. There you will find an explanation how to configure the Uboot
bootloader and from where you can get the VGA,romfile. Similar it is done under Linux if all needed dependencies for compiling are fulfilled.

Everything else is also a little further up in the thread. I hope this will be helpful to them, otherwise let me know.

That's the device tree source from Linux that I've also used to implement these regions but what is ISA related mean? I understood it that it's the low part of pci-mem where e.g. the legacy ISA compatible VGA paged vram would show up and probably also used for BIOS emulation. I think this works so this region should be correct.

After quite some debuging I've found that Linux crashes on boot because it tries to access memory just below 1 GB while extracting the device tree even though it correctly listed memory to be 512MB before that. I have no idea why that happens but giving it -m 1g avoids this and actually boots with 1GB. But additionally to that the amigaone images from sourceforge use radeonfb so that needs to be emulated (also needs appropriate PC rom for that so I won't go into detail on that as it's unusable for graphics beyond console anyway) or change the command line on the CD to remove video option (but I could not find out how to change it from U-Boot becuse the setting there seems to be overridden by the CD).

So Linux now works apart from needing 1GB and not sure why it fails with less but maybe AmigaOS does not have this problem so I'm waiting for somebody with AmigaOne AOS version to try it. You need to make a boot disk like described on my pegasos2 page at http://zero.eik.bme.hu/~balaton/qemu/amiga/aos_pegasos2.html but for AmigaOne one needs to use slb_v2 instead of just copying files so you either need to do that on running AmigaOS or I think amitools can do that too but I don't know how so you need to figure out.

If somebody can confirm that the Linux images work with less than 1GB memory on real machine I'd be interested if somebody knows why it tries to access addresses above existing memory. What happens is a DSI is generated which is not handled that early when the device tree is read so it crashes but can't even print a crash log yet as it's too early in boot.

ISA only supports 16 MB address space, with ISA you can only use this address space and not access the larger ~2GB PCI address space at 0x80000000-0xfcffffff.

IIRC amiga-fdisk supports installing a SLB into the RDB.

Since there is a closed bug where it crashed with more than 700 MB RAM installed it has to work with less than 1 GB.
I had Linux installed on my AmigaOne XE, but that was a very long time ago and I don't remember how much RAM I had in the XE. Probably 256 or 512 MB.

The pictures on https://amigaone-linux.sourceforge.net/ for example
https://amigaone-linux.sourceforge.net/ppcboot4.php show a system with only 128 MB RAM running Linux.

Actually I was wrong about correctly detecting memory, it seems to always detect 512MB even if there's less so for now if you test this use -m 512 or -m 1g. There are also errors about invalid i2c communication while reading the SPD eeproms whcih I'm not sure is a bug in U-Boot not sending an ACK when expected or an error in emulation breaking the i2c state somewhere but this may be related to wrong memory detection.

Other than that there's not much progress, I've split up the patch and fixed the via-ide so this could be submitted to QEMU eventually but we would still need the firmware sources for that. According to a thread on amigaworld.net this was explored before and the user BillT there or @m3x here might have that source somewhere but I could not find it on line.

Just popping in

@balaton

The XE UBoot source was only partial. There were open parts for the main code and common shared routines. But other parts of UBoot core functions were binary only. This would include the "boota" code which remains hidden. Not that scanning a HDD for a boot block was anything real special.

On SF there is kernel source, at least for 3.10, which would include the A1 kernel patches.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/amigaone-linux/files/linux-image/

Have you got any further than UBoot menu? In the image I don't see the net installer booting at all but just a UBoot menu. Without nvram you will need to boot it from the menu. Or boota command on CLI. It's a normal auto boot CD.

Old kernels did have a limit on 750GB and IIRC that affected mainline x86 as well. The kernel on the installer is much newer. I had 2GB working in my A1 when I used it last.

As to radeonfb, that shouldn't take affect until the system is installed to HDD. I checked a net boot image just before and it wasn't set in cmdline. You can see this by mounting the iso image and checking the menu file at boot/menu.lst.

I've tried the Linux isos from the same site but different dir here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/amiga ... x/files/debian-installer/ I can boot these but these do have video=radeonfb in their command line and it does take effect for the console as well.

There are two things you need: A vgabios that does not crash the BIOS emulator in the firmware and at least 512MB RAM given to virtual machine because it's not detecting memory size correctly if you have less. Then have to set Amiga boot options (despite booting Linux) to try CD first at the bottom within in the Boot options menu. Then escape to top level and choose use settings for this boot. Without also emulating a radeon card you'll probably only get some logs on serial though. I have some unmerged ati-vga patches and not sure those would be needed but it would not work for X or AmigaOS anyway so only good for testing Linux console. That's why I don't say how to run it as it likely would not work but I can confirm that Linux boots. It would be more interesting to test with AmigaOS which should be possible using SM502 driver the same way as with pegasos2 but I don't have that AmigaOS version so waiting for somebody to do this.
