Based-on: <20210520090557.435689-1-aik@ozlabs.ru> ^ That is v20 of Alexey's VOF patch Hello, Posting these for early review now. I plan to rebase on the next VOF patch that hopefully fixes those points that I had to circumvent in patch 1 for now. I've reported these before but now all of those that are needed for pegasos2 are in one place. Other points I've reported could be clean ups but not sttictly needed. With this series on top of VOF v20 I can now boot Linux and MorphOS on pegasos2 without needing a firmware blob so I hope this is enough to get this board in 6.1 and also have it enabled so users can start using it. That means that VOF will also be merged by then. This now gives VOF another use case that may help it getting finished. I've also updated my development tree with this series here: https://osdn.net/projects/qmiga/scm/git/qemu/tree/pegasos2/ Please review so I can do any needed changes together with the rebase on next VOF patch so we don't miss 6.1 this time.

Thanks, These were in the original series adding this board: https://patchew.org/QEMU/cover.1616680239.git.balaton@eik.bme.hu/ For testing I've used the kernel from debian 8.11.0 powerpc iso which is known to work on real hardware and MorphOS demo iso available from www.morphos-team.net. For debian look into install/pegasos to find the right vmlinuz-chrp.initrd kernel, for MorphOS use the boot.img from root of the iso as -kernel. What's still missing is some rtas functions like get-time-of-day. Are these any kind of standard and is there a doc about their parameters and returns or I'll heave to find out from kernel sources? I plan to add these later but not needed to get it boot. Regards, BALATON Zoltan

I'm not really sure of the origins of RTAS. It's not in plain IEEE1275 (the original OF spec), but the fact pegasos uses it suggests it's not purely a PAPR thing, either. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.

Pegasos is supposed to be a CHRP platform so maybe there's something on it in that doc, I haven't checked yet but now you mentioned these I should probably look there. Thenks, BALATON Zoltan

Sounds like a good bet. I believe PAPR is a distant descendent of CHRP, so that seems pretty likely. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.

I think theoretically the Marvell Discovery II chip can support dual CPU and meybe even a G5, this is described in its docs. However in practice this was never implemented for Pegasos2 and there was only either a G3 or G4 single CPU card available for it. It probably does not make much sense to emulate anything else than the G4 version as that's what has the most features that guest OSes can use. The current emulation is just enough for that and I don't plan to implement more of the MV64361 chip to emulate non existent SMP configs as probably nothing would run on it anyway so it does not worth the extra effort. > Here some hystorical info about this great machine from the past Phase 5 A\BOX (kosmoplovci.net)<https://www.kosmoplovci.net/hc/hc4/tech/phase5-abox.html>. > i remember really good that period (when i was young man)... the caipirinha become one of my best cocktail 🙂 Maybe interesting for history behind Pegasos2 only but otherwise probably not too relevant to how it was actually implemented at the end which is what counts if you want to run existing guests OSes. This doc seems to describe a system that wasn't implemented but instead a similar system was made from off the shelf components available at the time so for emulation a better reference are the docs of those chips.
