QEMU loads Linux directly.
Putting my OE-guy hat on, the qemu-ppc target used is 'mac99'. It was switched over from prep back in January of this year. From my own past diggings, there's not really a newer machine option as all of the support added to qemu from Freescale and IBM has been kvm-oriented rather than full machine emulation oriented. So to run U-Boot under qemu on a BE machine, you'd need to port U-Boot over. Or, build the sandbox arch on a BE host, such as Linux running under qemu-ppc. Then it should be BE, yes? -- Tom _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
