[U-Boot] qemu-system-arm segfaults on zynq_zed

I'm brand new to Uboot, so hopefully this is just some missing switch. I did search the archive, and I was able to build and u-boot a versaatilepb version, but xilinx-zynq-a9 is the one I really need.
u-boot-2014.10$ make zynq_zed_defconfig u-boot-2014.10$ make all CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- ARCH=arm u-boot-2014.10$ qemu-system-arm -M xilinx-zynq-a9 -m 1024M -nographic -kernel u-boot-dtb.bin Segmentation fault (core dumped)
What am I doing wrong?

It's the version of qemu-system-arm downloaded for Ubuntu 14.04 Version info: qemu-system-arm --version QEMU emulator version 2.0.0 (Debian 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.7)
I also tried the three "boot.bin" files in "2014.3-release.tar.gz" downloaded from the Xilinx website, those in subdirectories zc70x/zc706/ and zc70x/zc702/, and zed/ . Same command line. Hangs with no output.
I also tried the version 2.0.0 version of qemu-system-arm from the open-do.org website that we regular use with xlnx-zynq-a9 bsp for vxworks7, it boots vxworks without uboot, but hangs with uboot.
You're suggesting that only the qemu-system-arm built from the xilinx repo is functional with uboot? I used that version of qemu about a year ago, and it worked fine for Linux but it was an ancient version of qemu (at that time).

I built qemu-system-arm from the xilinx-master branch. xilinx-zynq-a9 is not a supported machine. :(

I don't think boot.bin is a legal "kernel". IIRC, I had issues running on QEMU, but it was slightly better than what you describe.

For versatilepb arm, there's a blog post that describes a recipe of how to build and boot "uboot.bin" in qemu. It works fine, here's the link if you're interested. https://balau82.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/u-boot-for-arm-on-qemu/
I assumed that uboot was standardized enough so that it would work the same for other machine/board emulations. I'd like to understand why it's not working.
The problem I'm trying to solve is to configure networking in uboot for the xilinx-zynq-a9 bsp for vxworks7 running under qemu. Vxworks7 uses uboot where 6.9 didn't, and the default device tree isn't set correctly for my network, it just has some random defaults that are expected to be customized. The alternative is to use real hardware, which should work well enough for debugging but in general it's much easier to debug and run tests in qemu especially when working remotely.
So any ideas you might have on what's special about zynq utboot would be appreciated.

I suppose the uboot.bin files you are talking about are binaries that had been converted with objcopy or similar from ELF to binary. That probably works well. The Zynq boot.bin is a container file that contains the Zynq bootloader and (optionally) other things (like U-Boot). I doubt QEMU is able to parse this Zynq specific file (though, it's all documented, so it could be implemented I guess). So, you probably want to pass the u-boot.elf as kernel, but I don't know to what extend that works currently. For that we need input from Peter. For more information about the Zynq boot.bin format, please have a look at section 6.3.2 in the Zynq TRM (http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug585-Zynq-7000-TRM....) and the Zynq SW developer guide (http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug821-zynq-7000-swde...).

I tried with a zed_zynq built u-boot.bin and u-boot.dtb built from u-boot-2014.10 release, and got slightly different results:
qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0xfffffff0.
Then a register dump.
Oh well, thanks for the pointers in your previous message, will read for clues.

I doubt QEMU is able to parse this Zynq specific file (though, it's all documented, so it could be implemented I guess). So, you probably want to pass the u-boot.elf as kernel, but I don't know to what extend that works currently. For that we need input from Peter. For more information about the Zynq boot.bin format, please have a look at section 6.3.2 in the Zynq TRM ( http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug585-Zynq-7000-TRM.... ) and the Zynq SW developer guide ( http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug821-zynq-7000-swde... ).

I assumed that uboot was standardized enough so that it would work the
same
for other machine/board emulations. I'd like to understand why it's not working.
The problem I'm trying to solve is to configure networking in uboot for
the
xilinx-zynq-a9 bsp for vxworks7 running under qemu. Vxworks7 uses uboot where 6.9 didn't, and the default device tree isn't set correctly for my network, it just has some random defaults that are expected to be customized. The alternative is to use real hardware, which should work well enough for debugging but in general it's much easier to debug and
run
tests in qemu especially when working remotely.
So any ideas you might have on what's special about zynq utboot would be appreciated.

Hi Douglas,
It seems to hit in the follow location:
(gdb) f 3 #3 0x00005555557c6a21 in get_page_addr_code (env1=env1@entry=0x5555562f6100, addr=addr@entry=4294967280) at /xilinx/qemu/cputlb.c:325 325 cpu_abort(cpu, "Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x" (gdb) l 320 315 cpu_ldub_code(env1, addr); 316 } 317 pd = env1->iotlb[mmu_idx][page_index] & ~TARGET_PAGE_MASK; 318 mr = iotlb_to_region(cpu->as, pd); 319 if (memory_region_is_unassigned(mr)) { 320 CPUClass *cc = CPU_GET_CLASS(cpu); 321 322 if (cc->do_unassigned_access) { 323 cc->do_unassigned_access(cpu, addr, false, true, 0, 4); 324 } else { (gdb) 325 cpu_abort(cpu, "Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x" 326 TARGET_FMT_lx "\n", addr); 327 } 328 } 329 p = (void *)((uintptr_t)addr + env1->tlb_table[mmu_idx][page_index].addend); 330 return qemu_ram_addr_from_host_nofail(p); 331 } 332 333 #define MMUSUFFIX _cmmu 334 #undef GETPC
(gdb) p/x addr $2 = 0xfffffff0
Might be a qemu issue, but not sure how it is triggered by a quick glance.

James
