Hacking TL-MR3020 – Part 4 – Qemu test

Qemu with RootFS of TL-MR3020
This tutorial should show, how it is possible to set-up a Qemu virtualized environment.

DRAFT!

$dd if=/dev/zero of=myFileSystem.img bs=1024 count=65536
$sudo mke2fs myFileSystem.img
$sudo mkdir /mnt/virtual
$sudo mount -o loop myFileSystem.img /mnt/virtual

$sudo cp -R * /mnt/virtual/

Copy files from extracted squashfs to /mnt/virtualized

$sudo mknod -m 622 /mnt/virtual/dev/console c 5 1
$sudo chmod 777 /mnt/virtual/dev/console 

Malta kernel for MIPS
https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/mips/

$ sudo qemu-system-mips -M malta -kernel 'vmlinux-2.6.32-5-4kc-malta' -nographic -append "init=/sbin/init root=/dev/sda rootfstype=ext2" -hda 'myFileSystem.img'

Add cross-compiler source

$sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list

#Embedian
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main
deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ squeeze main

$sudo apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring

$cp arch/mips/configs/malta_defconfig .config

$ make menuconfig 

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-gnu-
