Gustavo Zacarias 93c640f005 configs/qemu: bump to the latest linux versions
Keep arm_nuri on 3.10.x for the usual reasons.
Keep mips & mipsel (32 bits) on 4.3.x because 4.4.x fails to boot
properly (kernel stuck after the CPU cache info).

(1) - Supposed to work but broken, probably Qemu emulation issue
(2) - In like 1/3 starts it fails to work properly
(3) - Probably an endian issue with 8139 emulation/driver
(4) - Kernel stuck at cpu cache details from 4.4 - 4.4.1

linux-4.4.config configs/qemu: bump to the latest linux versions 2016-02-07 22:20:41 +01:00
readme.txt

Run the emulation with:

  qemu-system-sparc64 -M sun4u -kernel output/images/vmlinux -append "root=/dev/sda console=ttyS0,115200" -serial stdio -drive file=output/images/rootfs.ext2,format=raw -net nic,model=e1000 -net user

The login prompt will appear in the terminal that started Qemu.

Tested with QEMU 2.3.0
