Hello
I've replaced the old 'VersatilePB' emulation with support for the 'ARM Versatile Express'. There's no graphics support yet (although I saw a thread on a mailing list about someone writing a driver for the graphics chip), but the device emulates 1GB of RAM so it should be far more useful than its predecessor which only supported 256MB. Plus, the Versatile Express actually works in Linux 3.12, where as the VersatilePB has become broken again - so there's another good reason to use it ;-)
If anybody fancies giving it a try, please read the updated docs:
http://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwa...STALL_QEMU.TXT
If you already had QEMU installed, you will most likely need to rebuild it because QEMU needs to have the 'Flattened Device Tree' support, which means you also need the 'device-tree-compiler' package. Suitable versions are now available for Slackware 14.1 on slackbuilds.org (thanks to Robby Workman) - links are provided in the install docs.
If you were previously using the ARM Versatile PB (Slackware ARM 14.1 and prior), you'll also need to update your QEMU/ARM linux boot scripts as a few things have changed.
You can find new versions of the 'helper scripts' at a URL also in the installation doc.
Please let me know how it works out for you.
