qemux86: drop resolution setting via uvesafb

2020-02-18T23:53:54+00:00

I am not sure if this has ever worked, but uvesafb is a really outdated (VBE from the 1990s), awkward (needs v86d) and limited (no support for high resolutions) way to do it. The specific reason 640x480-32 was introduced (ages ago) was to force 32 bit mode with vmware driver, as 16bit had rendering issues. The modern, supported option is video=... kernel parameter documented here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/fb/modedb.rst which can be passed directly to runqemu and doesn't require special kernel modules. Sato under X will continue to use 640x480 as that is hardcoded into xorg.conf under qemu.

qemu: switch to '-vga std' emulated hardware from vmware/cirrus for x86/mips

2019-09-01T21:33:07+00:00

This is the qemu default since qemu 2.2, is generally supported better, and is recommended by upstream. It also has already been in use for arm/risc and ovmf. Additional information: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13466 https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2014/10/qemu-using-cirrus-considered-harmful/ '-vga virtio' emulated hardware remains in use when virgl is enabled via a runqemu override. Also, adjust the error whitelist, as there is a number of new messages coming from the drivers that are not actual errors.

qemuboot-x86: move QB_SYSTEM_NAME to corresponding conf

qemux86: use a Core 2 Duo CPU instead of the original circa-1993 Pentium

2019-05-17T06:07:28+00:00

This matches what the qemux86_64 is currently using, and will allow testing the instructions added in the meantime; particularly various SSE extensions are now enabled. (From OE-Core rev: f3b1e577ec94c849d0354f5679257f02ef4e4fe9) Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

qemux86: Allow higher tunes

2019-05-01T08:08:58+00:00

Allows the qemux86 machine to be tuned all the way up to an i7 if desired by overriding DEFAULTTUNE. The default if unspecified is left at i586. This can be useful for enabling advanced processor features like SSE if desired or required by various packages.

qemux86/gstreamer: Move kernel module recommendation to the machine configuration

2018-10-18T22:26:35+00:00

If you try to build a system with multiple BSPs, one of which is qemux86 or qemux86-64, the gstreamer package will change. This will trigger anything using gstream to also be rebuilt. For a package based system, the PR values will also be incremented each time. The end result will be an ever growing set of PR values as well as being unable to tell which configured version of the multimedia components are really being deployed. These therefore belong in the machine configuration. (From OE-Core rev: 112775995158cf6c504fd6beef345ee446f4f11d) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

qemux86*: Add U-Boot machine configuration

2018-07-18T09:18:42+00:00

Add U-Boot machine configuration for the qemux86 and qemux86-64 to allow building U-Boot on those targets. This in turn allows the auto-updater to update the U-Boot recipe.

qemux86*: change default wic wks to qemux86-directdisk

2018-06-04T14:15:00+00:00

When runqemu is invoked with an image type (wic, hddimg etc) as a parameter, the kernel value and command line parameters from qemuboot.conf are ignored and not passed to qemu cmdline. As an example, when using: $ runqemu wic kvm It results in no network interface and video mode warnings when qemu is up because the -kernel and -append options were not passed. Change qemu conf to use qemux86-directdisk.wks that supplies the kernel parameters that are appended to the bootloader configuration when generating qemu wic images instead of relying on qemuboot.conf.

qemu conf: Fix kernel module autoloading for uvesafb on genericx86

2017-09-13T21:07:42+00:00

After commit e8b1c653946ef921b65d47e52aea0dc530ef4286, we started seeing errors like the following during boot on genericx86 machines: uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22 uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2) These were caused because the uvesa module was being loaded during boot, when it is only meant to be loaded on qemu according to: 6af89812e8a9931ffed63768ed85367519bf7aef Since genericx86-common.inc includes qemuboot-x86, the module also tries to be loaded on genericx86 machines, this patch removes the instruction from qemuboot-x86 and adds it in specific to both qemux86 machines confs so it is correctly loaded only on those.
