I tried this in mainline linux with the following command.
qemu-system-arm -M bpim2u \
-kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage -no-reboot \
-snapshot -drive file=rootfs-armv7a.ext2,format=raw,if=sd \
-nic user \
--append "root=/dev/mmcblk0 rootwait console=ttyS0,115200" \
-dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-r40-bananapi-m2-ultra.dtb \
-nographic -monitor null -serial stdio
Main problem is that the SD card gets instantiated randomly to
mmc0, mmc1, or mmc2, making it all but impossible to specify a
root file system device. The non-instantiated cards are always
reported as non-removable, including mmc0. Example:
mmc0: Failed to initialize a non-removable card
Using "-sd <file>" instead of "-drive file=<file>" does not
make a difference.
I can fix (work around ?) the problem by adding the following information
to the devicetree file.
aliases {
ethernet0 = &gmac;
serial0 = &uart0;
+ mmc0 = &mmc0;
+ mmc1 = &mmc1;
+ mmc2 = &mmc2;
};
Linux upstream commits fa2d0aa96941 and 2a43322ca7f3 describe the
logic behind this change.
Is this a bug in the Linux kernel, or a problem with the qemu emulation ?
Either case, is there a way to specify a qemu command line that doesn't
result in random assignments of the provided drive to mmc0/1/2 ?
Thanks,
Guenter
