This series introduces initial support for the MIPS Boston, and FPGA

This can be tested in a currently out-of-tree QEMU port if desired,
which can be found in the boston branch of:
git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/paul/qemu.git
QEMU can be used to run U-Boot like this:
./configure --target-list=mips64el-softmmu
make
./mips64el-softmmu/qemu-system-mips64el -M boston -m 2G \
-bios u-boot.bin -serial stdio
I have tried it and nothing is coming up.
Latest u-boot + your patches
make boston64r2el_defconfig
and your qemu on ubuntu 14.
Can you recheck it?
Thanks,

Hi Michal,
This would be because U-Boot is being built for MIPS64r2 whilst QEMU is
emulating the MIPS64r6-implementing I6400, and MIPSr6 isn't entirely
backwards compatible with MIPSr2. If you reconfigure U-Boot to build for
MIPS64r6 then you should find that it runs correctly. I'll add mention
of that to the README file.
sorry don't have any overview about mips at all.
But last patch is adding 4 defconfigs 32r2 and 64r2 (big and little)
endian.
I do use
.buildman-toolchains/gcc-4.9.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin//mips-linux-gcc
And getting this when I change it to mips64r6
mips-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option '-march=mips64r6'
Hi Michal,
Ah, and that's why the defconfigs were changed to MIPSr2 in v3 of the
patchset. The Boston board can technically use CPUs implementing any
architecture revision, but is most commonly used with ones implementing
MIPSr6 hence the QEMU default. If it weren't for that buildman failure
with MIPSr6 it'd be the Boston defconfig default too.
Are there any toolchain at generic location which buildman can use?
The toolchain I use is the codescape one available from imgtec.com:
http://codescape-mips-sdk.imgtec.com/components/toolchain/2015.06-05/
The "IMG GNU Linux Toolchain" from that page will suffice. Anything with
gcc 5.x or newer should work too if you wanted to use crosstool-ng,
buildroot or similar to produce a toolchain.
Thanks,
Paul
