The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of Linaro QEMU 2012.03.
Linaro QEMU 2012.03 is the latest monthly release of qemu-linaro. Based off upstream (trunk) QEMU, it includes a number of ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.
Highlights in this month's release: - we now default to enabling 'reserve memory for guest' on 64 bit hosts in linux-user-mode. This significantly reduces the chances of QEMU being unable to satisfy a guest process mmap() request. - Fix for a bug that was causing spurious failures of the glibc check for "%n in a format string must be in a read-only area of memory" when running in linux-user-mode. - QEMU's built-in boot loader now supports passing a device tree blob to the kernel: if you boot with -kernel mykernel (and optionally -initrd myinitrd) you can now also use the new command line option -dtb my.dtb to pass a device tree. - This version includes an initial implementation of a model of the Samsung Exynos4210 SoC, used by board models 'nuri' and 'smdkc210' (thanks to Evgeny Voevodin, Maksim Kozlov, Igor Mitsyanko and Dmitry Solodkiy from Samsung, who submitted this work to upstream QEMU). - This version includes an initial implementation of a model of the Calxeda Highbank SoC, used by board model 'highbank' (thanks to Rob Herring and Mark Langsdorf of Calxeda, who submitted this work to upstream QEMU). - various other minor bug fixes (detailed in the Changelog.LINARO).
Known issues: - Graphics do not work for OMAP3 based models (beagle, overo) with 11.10 Linaro images.
