one or more system-image-ARCH directories into this directory
(the one which contains this README).
+* Install qemu-system-ARCH. The arch names may differ from
+system-image-ARCH: for example, all ARM flavors (armv4l...armv6l)
+are served by the same qemu - qemu-system-arm. On my machine,
+I needed to install qemu-system-{arm,mips,x86,ppc,sparc,m68k,sh4}.
+
* Run: ./parallel-build-hdc-img.sh system-image-DIR1 system-image-DIR2...
(background it if you don't want to see "Waiting to finish" thing).
This runs build in several qemu virtual machines in parallel.
- single mode, output is to screen and serial input is from keyboard.
If hdc.dir/bin/busybox-$ARCH exists, it will be used during build
-to supply additional tools.
+to supply additional tools (dir with all applets appended to $PATH).
For me, the following system images worked:
system-image-armv4l
od is buggy on arm*:
# echo Hello-hello-hello-hello | od -b

And these did not:
system-image-armv6l - hang on "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel"
-system-image-powerpc - hang early in kernel boot
-system-image-sparc - hang early in userspace
system-image-m68k - my qemu doesn't like "-M q800"
system-image-mips64 - init dies "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a"
system-image-sh4 - qemu segfaults early in kernel boot
