Requirements below):

$ ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu # GCC 3.x will be required, see

--cc=

$ make

See other available options for the configure script by appending "--help".

Now you should have a working emulator under the name

"arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm". To run OpenMoko you will also need to

somehow install OpenMoko on your virtual phone, which is totally clean of

any software at this moment. There are several block devices to choose

from, the best option is probably to do exactly what the Neo1973

manufacturer does before it ships the device to the final user. This process

is described in Bootloader, Kernel, NAND bad blocks and Devirginator but

you don't need to know all the details. Two scripts are provided to generate

a firmware for your phone, as realistic as possible. First run

$ openmoko/download.sh

which will look up the list of latest available OpenMoko snapshot builds

from buildhost.openmoko.org and choose the most recent u-boot, Kernel,

and root filesystem images, and download the images (unless they are

already found in the openmoko/ directory). These binaries will be used by

the flash.sh script. First make sure you have the netpbm package installed

for some graphics conversion utilities. On Ubuntu this can be done by:

sudo apt-get install netpbm

Then run:

$ openmoko/flash.sh

which runs the emulator, loads u-boot into it and then uses u-boot's

capability to program the Flash memory to install all the necessary parts of

the system into the virtual Flash. It will also set up all the bootloading

process including a boot menu (ENTER is [AUX] and SPACE is [POWER]),

splash, u-boot environment and some default kernel parameters. If

everything goes OK, the script should print a command which you can use

to start using the emulator.
