dann frazier (dannf) wrote : enable flat device tree support

Please add a build-dep on libfdt-dev, which will add flat device tree support to qemu. This will let users pass the '-dtb' command line option, allowing us to specify a device tree file. Though it is supposedly possible to pass a dtb file to the instance by appending it to the zImage, I've been unable to get this to work (even with CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB=y). The -dtb method is more straightforward and I've been able to boot a highbank target with it (and the patch referenced in #1030588):

ubuntu@server-1343577662-az-3-region-a-geo-1:~$ sudo qemu-system-arm -nographic -M highbank -m 4089 -kernel ~/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2000-highbank -append console=ttyAMA0 -dtb ~/highbank.dtb
