We emulate that by writing a tiny bootloader code in write_bootloader(). Upon introduction in commit 5c2b87e34d ("PIIX4 support"), the PIIX4 configuration space included values specific to the Malta board. Set the Malta-specific IRQ routing values in the embedded bootloader, so the next commit can remove the Malta specific bits from the PIIX4 PCI-ISA bridge and make it generic (matching the real hardware). Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <phi...@linaro.org> --- FIXME: Missing the nanoMIPS counter-part!Who will be taking care of this? I have absolutely no clue how the write_bootloader functions work, so I don't see how to fix it.
Oh actually I wrote that and tested it but context switched and forgot about it... I'll look back when I get some time, probably around the release.
Couldn't we just do it like in pegasos2_init() where the registers are initialized by QEMU directly if there is no bootloader binary configured? I could do that.
I rather mimic bootloaders... maybe a matter of taste? Regards, Phil.
