This patch set adds support to emulate an e5500 based virtual machine. We don't have a machine model for that one yet, but with this patch set applied we can fake the compatibility property of the MPC8544DS model into P5020DS, which gets guest kernels working for me.
The patch set is based on my recent dynamic device tree work. For a ready to use git tree, please check here: git://repo.or.cz/qemu/agraf.git ppc-e5500 To use the code, grab yourself an e5500 kernel and run: $ qemu-system-ppc64 -M mpc8544ds -cpu e5500 -nographic -kernel uImage \ -machine dt_compatible=fsl,,P5020DS This should get you a working kernel. Everything after that works just the same as with e500v2 or e500mc.
