Note that -M prep has been formally deprecated and so we're really only 
interested in
-M 40p going forward. The test for this is to boot the sandalfoot zImage at
http://www.juneau-lug.org/zImage.initrd.sandalfoot booted as below:

./qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -cdrom zImage.initrd.sandalfoot -boot d

I don't really do anything with the leon3 so I'll leave this to Fabien :)

The easiest test here is using Aurelien's image from
https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/sparc/ which is really simple:

./qemu-system-sparc -hda debian_etch_sparc_small.qcow2 -snapshot

I don't really touch the niagara parts at the moment, however you can find a 
couple
of examples in both the QEMU documentation at
https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Sparc64-System-emulator and also the 
wiki
homepage at https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/SPARC.

For this I tend to use Debian ports CD at
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/10.0/sparc64/iso-cd/ with a simple boot
command line:

./qemu-system-sparc64 -cdrom debian-10.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso -nographic -m 
256 -boot d

Again for both of these a Debian ports CD from
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/10.0/powerpc/iso-cd/ is enough for a 
simple
boot test here:

./qemu-system-ppc -cdrom debian-10.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso -boot d


ATB,
