Hi,

I've tried to run 9pi from richard miller on qemu but failed
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/miller/

qemu-system-arm -cpu arm1176 -m 512 -M versatilepb -kernel 9pi

This works though with a linux kernel compiled for the raspberry, e.g.
from http://xecdesign.com/qemu-emulating-raspberry-pi-the-easy-way/

  *   wget http://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu


and then
qemu-system-arm -cpu arm1176 -m 512 -M versatilepb -kernel kernel-qemu

works.

does anyone have the s9pi kernel image that corresponds to this?
i don't so i can't connect this failure to the source.

I would bet that linux kernel isn't actually configured for the
raspberry pi -- it will be for a generic arm1176.  The pi's processor isn't
an arm1176 exactly; it's a Broadcom bcm2835 videocore gpu, with an arm
core grafted on.  It's highly unlikely that qemu knows how to emulate
this well enough for a native bcm kernel like 9pi to run successfuly.
The "emulating raspberry pi the easy way" is not really emulating the
pi, just using a generic arm kernel to run linux software from a
raspberry pi linux distribution image.

If you want to run 9pi, I recommend buying a raspberry pi.  They aren't
expensive, and native Plan 9 is a much more rewarding experience.

Hi,

I have a raspberry pi :) but I've found it incredibly convenient to have an emulator
to test things. The development iterative loop is far faster when you can cross-compile
from your pc and test directly on your pc. Then once it works you can deploy
and test on the real machine. Anyway, I understand it would be complicated
to make plan9 works on qemu for arm1176.

if you setup an auth+fs+cpu machine, then you can tftp boot the pi(s); it
is just as fast.
