Hello guys,
I am running an image of U-boot 2018.09 in qemu 3.0, the goal would be to load an OS-9 rom file from tftp. The problem is that I can't manage to have an Internet connection in U-boot. No matter how I run the image I always have Net: "No Ethernet found".
I run qemu 3.0 with the following command:
qemu-system-ppc -cpu e500v2 -M ppce500 -nographic -kernel ~/u-boot -net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no
I tried to use different -net options in qemu but the problem is always the same.
And from the u-boot source code I have edited the board file qemu-ppce500.c in order to have a few ENV variables (since I can't save any env variables from the running U-boot in qemu).
ethact=eTSEC1 ethprime=eTSEC1 ethaddr=192.168.10.40 netmask=255.255.254.0 serverip=192.168.10.2 gatewayip=192.168.10.254
The image is compiled using of course: qemu-ppce500_defconfig.
What am I doing wrong? Is it even possible to initialize the Ethernet port?
Thanks in advance, Vincenzo
