Hi Zoltan,
Could you please provide some documentation on how to run Linux or some
other free (as in free beer) OS on this machine?
There are some Linux images here that should work on amigaone:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/amigaone-linux/files/debian-installer/
To boot it get the firmware as described in the comment in amigaone.c or
in the avocado test then run:
qemu-system-ppc -M amigaone -bios u-boot-amigaone.bin \
-cdrom "A1 Linux Net Installer.iso" -serial stdio \
-device ati-vga,model=rv100,romfile=VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.bin
Then from the firmware menu select Boot sequence, Amiga Multiboot Options
and set Boot device 1 to VIA CDROM then escape back to top level and from
the exit menu that appears with escape on the main screen select either
save settings or use settings for current boot. It takes a long time at
Loading kernel... but eventually boots and you should see the installer
(or select rescue from the Linux boot menu then at language selection
Tab to Back button then run shell to get a prompt).
Can you provide an
Avocado test booting e.g. Linux as a quality gate for the VIA south
bridges?
I don't know how to automate the above with avocado which seems to run
with -display none but the Linux iso has hard coded radeonfb so I could
only do a basic test with the firmware.
As you know I'm trying to bring these south bridges to the PC machine
and relying on hard to get proprietary blobs or OSes makes this very
difficult.
I know that the machines and guests I work with are a bit obscure but I
can't change that. These machines also run Linux and some MorphOS too
which can be a test case that's available, unfortunately amigaone is not
supported by MorphOS so only Linux and AmigaOS is available there.
Whenever the VIA south bridges are changed we end up having
endless discussions due to this situation. We need a solution that works
for everybody woking on these south bridges.
I afree with that and I think I wasn't the one who started endless
discussions about every little change to the via model so I think we can
find a solution that works for all. I'd just like to keep pegasos2 and
amigaone working with AmigaOS which is my main goal and also keep the
device model simple and managable.

BALATON Zoltan
