Bug#670462: linux-2.6: Support new armhf kernel variant for Versatile Express (vexpress)
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.15-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Please consider a new kernel variant to support Versatile Express, an
armhf capable platform that it is also supported by the qemu version currently
in wheezy/sid (1.0.1+dfsg-1).
This would allow more people to test the armhf port without needing armhf
capable hardware.
For some information about qemu support:
https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/QemuVersatileExpress
I've tested that the following configuration at least boots to a Debian armhf
LTSP environment in QEMU. "qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel ..." worked
like a charm.
It essentially grabs the vexpress default configuration from the upstream
kernel, perhaps this could/should be trimmed down...
live well,
