evbarm-earmv6hf in qemu

[Benny Siegert <bsiegert%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi!

I am trying to get an emulated VM with two or more cores running NetBSD evbarm-earmv6hf.

I tried adding earmv6hf support to anita (https://github.com/bsiegert/anita/tree/earmv6hf) by adding the following:

- qemu with machine set to raspi2b
- kernel as https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-RPI2.gz
- root FS based on https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/rpi.img.gz

This results in  the following qemu command line:

qemu-system-arm \
    -m 1024 \
    -drive file=work-https---cdn.netbsd.org-pub-NetBSD-NetBSD-10.0-evbarm-earmv6hf-+a5c40c52/wd0.img,format=raw,media=disk,snapshot=off \
    -nographic \
    -M raspi2b \
    -append root=ld0a \
    -kernel work-https---cdn.netbsd.org-pub-NetBSD-NetBSD-10.0-evbarm-earmv6hf-+a5c40c52/netbsd-RPI2

However, this doesn’t work at all. There is no output, or a black screen when running the same without -nographic.

Does anyone have a working setup to test earmv6hf? If so, how?
