Using arm_now for QEMU development for Onion Omega2

[whatnick]

I am attempting to setup Onion Omega2 Developments stack without the real hardware using arm_now. Mostly for Python scripts with stubs for hardware stuff.

However bringing up mips32el is stalling with this :

       export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV="none"
       qemu-system-mipsel -kernel arm_now/kernel -hda arm_now/rootfs.ext2 -append 'root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0 rw physmap.enabled=0 noapic'                -m 256M                -nographic                -serial stdio -monitor null  -nic user                                 -no-reboot
       stty intr ^c
    
qemu-system-mipsel: -nic: invalid option

Will work on checking the architecture and options for opkg support for this board since images are available with links to Onion opkg repo here.

Hello Tisham Dhar,

I hope you are doing well!

you can either adjust to fix the bellow command manually because once the image are downloaded you don't need arm_now if you start qemu your self:
qemu-system-mipsel -kernel arm_now/kernel -hda arm_now/rootfs.ext2 -append 'root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0 rw physmap.enabled=0 noapic' -m 256M -nographic -serial stdio -monitor null -nic user -no-reboot

Or you can: Try this:
