Well one Lemote Fuloong 2F system has already been given away, and the new owner has been asked to try and find out about them.
Some of you may be aware of some Lemote related resources on my devspace. I’ll try to get some Fuloong 2F stuff up there, but I’m flying blind as I don’t have one of these systems. The netboot and LiveUSB image you see online is for its older cousin based on the Loongson 2E CPU, and won’t work on the Yeeloong or the newer Fuloong, as the graphic chipset and northbridge differ substantially. The stage 3 tarballs (MIPS I or MIPS III little-endian) will work however.
I’ve got one of the Fuloong 2Es onto the case now however, we’ll see what we can get achieved over the next few days.
Hi, I’ve recently purchased a Lemote with Loongson 2F CPU. I can provide you ssh acces to the box, since it’s only a toy for me. Currently it run gentoo with some kde and lxde.
What I can’t do is to start a qemu image, can you help me with that?
Yeah, QEMU on Loongson has been done before, it needs special patches to work, and I wouldn’t hold my breath regarding performance.
I have Bochs working quite successfully on my Yeeloong (which I have with me today).
A segment is a segment a vector is a segment with a direction, I did meant the other way around, my bad
Need to simulate loongson mipsel in qemo or anything else because compiling on it is slooow.
I’ve tryed some ad hoc qemu git trees but failed until now.
Ahh, you want to emulate a Loongson system.
There is some good news, some not so great news, and some bad news:
The good news:
– QEMU can emulate some mipsel platforms
The not so good news:
– It’s really really slow, and often buggy (I found on a P4 1.4GHz, QEMU emulated about as fast as my Qube2. On my Phenom II X6 1090T, a real Loongson system left QEMU in the dust).
The bad news:
– Loongson itself is not supported, nor are the peripherals typically found in Lemote’s systems.
