1 | .. _MIPS-System-emulator: |
2 | ||
3 | MIPS System emulator | |
4 | -------------------- | |
5 | ||
6 | Four executables cover simulation of 32 and 64-bit MIPS systems in both | |
7 | endian options, ``qemu-system-mips``, ``qemu-system-mipsel`` | |
8 | ``qemu-system-mips64`` and ``qemu-system-mips64el``. Five different | |
9 | machine types are emulated: | |
10 | ||
11 | - A generic ISA PC-like machine \"mips\" | |
12 | ||
13 | - The MIPS Malta prototype board \"malta\" | |
14 | ||
15 | - An ACER Pica \"pica61\". This machine needs the 64-bit emulator. | |
16 | ||
17 | - MIPS emulator pseudo board \"mipssim\" | |
18 | ||
19 | - A MIPS Magnum R4000 machine \"magnum\". This machine needs the | |
20 | 64-bit emulator. | |
21 | ||
22 | The generic emulation is supported by Debian 'Etch' and is able to | |
23 | install Debian into a virtual disk image. The following devices are | |
24 | emulated: | |
25 | ||
26 | - A range of MIPS CPUs, default is the 24Kf | |
27 | ||
28 | - PC style serial port | |
29 | ||
30 | - PC style IDE disk | |
31 | ||
32 | - NE2000 network card | |
33 | ||
34 | The Malta emulation supports the following devices: | |
35 | ||
36 | - Core board with MIPS 24Kf CPU and Galileo system controller | |
37 | ||
38 | - PIIX4 PCI/USB/SMbus controller | |
39 | ||
40 | - The Multi-I/O chip's serial device | |
41 | ||
42 | - PCI network cards (PCnet32 and others) | |
43 | ||
44 | - Malta FPGA serial device | |
45 | ||
46 | - Cirrus (default) or any other PCI VGA graphics card | |
47 | ||
48 | The Boston board emulation supports the following devices: | |
49 | ||
50 | - Xilinx FPGA, which includes a PCIe root port and an UART | |
51 | ||
52 | - Intel EG20T PCH connects the I/O peripherals, but only the SATA bus | |
53 | is emulated | |
54 | ||
55 | The ACER Pica emulation supports: | |
56 | ||
57 | - MIPS R4000 CPU | |
58 | ||
59 | - PC-style IRQ and DMA controllers | |
60 | ||
61 | - PC Keyboard | |
62 | ||
63 | - IDE controller | |
64 | ||
65 | The MIPS Magnum R4000 emulation supports: | |
66 | ||
67 | - MIPS R4000 CPU | |
68 | ||
69 | - PC-style IRQ controller | |
70 | ||
71 | - PC Keyboard | |
72 | ||
73 | - SCSI controller | |
74 | ||
75 | - G364 framebuffer | |
76 | ||
c3a09ff6 | 77 | The Fuloong 2E emulation supports: |
324b2298 PB |
78 | |
79 | - Loongson 2E CPU | |
80 | ||
81 | - Bonito64 system controller as North Bridge | |
82 | ||
83 | - VT82C686 chipset as South Bridge | |
84 | ||
85 | - RTL8139D as a network card chipset | |
86 | ||
c7784e42 HC |
87 | The Loongson-3 virtual platform emulation supports: |
88 | ||
89 | - Loongson 3A CPU | |
90 | ||
91 | - LIOINTC as interrupt controller | |
92 | ||
93 | - GPEX and virtio as peripheral devices | |
94 | ||
95 | - Both KVM and TCG supported | |
96 | ||

97 | The mipssim pseudo board emulation provides an environment similar to |
98 | what the proprietary MIPS emulator uses for running Linux. It supports: | |
99 | ||
100 | - A range of MIPS CPUs, default is the 24Kf | |
101 | ||
102 | - PC style serial port | |
103 | ||
104 | - MIPSnet network emulation | |

110 | nanoMIPS System emulator | |
111 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
112 | ||
113 | Executable ``qemu-system-mipsel`` also covers simulation of 32-bit | |
114 | nanoMIPS system in little endian mode: | |
115 | ||
116 | - nanoMIPS I7200 CPU | |
117 | ||
118 | Example of ``qemu-system-mipsel`` usage for nanoMIPS is shown below: | |
