Hi! I'm Julia. I am from Germany and go by she/her or they/them pronouns. I don't really care, just be nice and we'll be cool. |

[[QEMU]] can emulate the '''PowerPC''' architecture. It is able to emulate several machines which can each run a handful of operating systems, which will be documented below. |
|||
I like doing thing with computers, networks and more. You might have figured out by now that I'm obsessed with IPv6. |

==Platforms== |
|||
The following machines can be emulated. To see a full list type <code>qemu-system-ppc --M help</code>. |

Every now and then you might spot me editing or creating a page. |

[[File:40p.jpg|thumb|250px]] |
|||
Workstation from ~1994. QEMU emulates the following peripherals for this machine: |
|||
* [[Installing IPv6 on older Windows versions]] |
|||
*PCI bridge |
|||
*PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions |
|||
*2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support |
|||
*Floppy disk |
|||
*PCnet network adapters |
|||
*Serial port |
|||
*PREP Non Volatile RAM |
|||
*PC compatible keyboard and mouse. |
|||
To start a very simple emulation that'll boot into OpenBIOS: |
|||
<pre>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -boot c</pre> |

====Guest installation instructions==== |
|||
=====AIX 4.3===== |
|||
To boot AIX you need a custom BIOS with serial as the console. Fortunately Artyom Tarasenko has done the hard work for us and made a BIOS that works with QEMU. Download it using wget or similar: |
|||
<pre>wget https://github.com/artyom-tarasenko/openfirmware/releases/download/40p-20190413/q40pofw-serial.rom</pre> |
|||
Then create the hard disk image: |
|||
<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 aix.qcow2 8G</pre> |
|||
You can download the AIX 4.3.3 CDs from WinWorldPC: https://winworldpc.com/product/aix/43x |
|||
Finally, boot QEMU with the following arguments: |
|||
<pre>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -bios q40pofw-serial.rom -serial telnet::4441,server -hda aix.qcow2 -vga none -nographic -net none -cdrom Volume_1.iso</pre> |
|||
If you have a physical CD, you can replace <code>-cdrom Volume_1.iso</code> with <code>-cdrom /dev/sr0</code>. |
|||
Telnet into port 4441 and begin the installation. |
|||
=====AIX 5.1===== |
|||
Mostly the same as 4.3. Again, you need to download a custom BIOS with serial as the console. The link for that is in the above section. |
|||
Create the hard disk image: |
|||
<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 aix.qcow2 8G</pre> |
|||
You can download AIX 5.1 CDs from WinWorld (you only need the first 3 CDs): https://winworldpc.com/product/aix/51 |
|||
Boot QEMU with these arguments: |
|||
<pre>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -bios q40pofw-serial.rom -serial telnet::4441,server -hda aix.qcow2 -nic user -vga none -nographic -cdrom AIX_CD_1.iso</pre> |
|||
If you have a physical CD, you can replace <code>-cdrom Volume_1.iso</code> with <code>-cdrom /dev/sr0</code>. |
|||
Telnet into port 4441 and begin the installation. |
|||
===Bamboo=== |
|||
PPC440 embedded board, was initially used for KVM on the PPC440 (which has since been removed.) You can boot a Linux kernel on this board by downloading [http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries/system-image-powerpc-440fp.tar.gz this image] (you may have to right click and hit "Save Link"), extracting it, and booting QEMU with this: |
|||
<pre>qemu-system-ppc -kernel linux -initrd rootfs.cpio.gz -M bamboo -netdev user,id=u1 -device rtl8139,netdev=u1 -vga none -nographic</pre> |
