[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1473451] [NEW] Please support the native bios format for dec alpha

2015-07-10 Thread empty
Public bug reported:

Currently qemu-system-alpha -bios parameter takes an ELF image.
However HP maintains firmware updates for those systems.

Some example rom files can be found here
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/alphaserver/firmware/current_platforms/v7.3_release/DS20_DS20e/

It might allow things like using the SRM firmware.
The ARC(nt) firmware would allow to build and test windows applications for 
that platforms without having the relevant hardware

But In that case it’s impossible to emulate or even compile Windows for
Dec Alpha.
