[Qemu-arm] Unable to run QEMU with ubuntu ARM image on mac.

[dharmik thakkar]

Hi,

I am trying to run ubuntu for arm using qemu. I have tried using different images for ubuntu but have ended up with same error ‘Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x08000000’.

Below are the steps I have followed to run ubuntu on qemu - 

1. qemu-img create -f qcow2 linuxarm.qcow2 10G.

2. qemu-system-arm -hda linuxarm.qcow2 -cdrom ~/Downloads/2015-04-06-ubuntu-trusty.zip -boot d -m 512 -M virt

I have also tried using different images from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/14.04/release/.

I am seeing the following error - 

qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x08000000

I am using the following qemu version - 

qemu-system-arm --version

QEMU emulator version 2.5.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

I tried using the uboot method - 

qemu-system-arm -hda linuxarm1.qcow2 -kernel uImage -initrd uInitrd -dtb apm-mustang.dtb -m 512 -M virt

Please help me with the issue and point out if I am missing something.
