[[QEMU]] can emulate the '''PowerPC''' architecture. It is able to emulate several machines which can each run a handful of operating systems, which ~~I'll~~will be ~~document~~documented below. ==Platforms== \| 40p \| IBM RS/6000 7020 (40p) (1990) \| Can ~~boot~~run some versions of AIX \|- \| bamboo \| bamboo board \| First PowerPC machine emulated by ~~PowerPC~~QEMU \|- \| g3beige ===IBM RS/6000 7020 (40p)=== [[File:40p.jpg\|thumb\|250px]] ~~Server~~Workstation from ~1994. QEMU emulates the following peripherals for this machine: PCI bridge PC compatible keyboard and mouse. To start a very simple VMemulation that'll boot into OpenBIOS: <pre>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -boot c</pre> ! Status ! Notes \|- \| AIX 3.2 \| Not working \| OS hangs indefinitely \|- \| AIX 4.3 \| The PCnet driver does not work in this OS; seems to be a bug <br>with the emulation \|- \| Windows NT 3.51 SP5 ~~\| AIX 5.2, 5.3~~ \| Not working \| Incompatible with OpenBIOS ~~\| OS indefinitely hangs~~ \|- \| Windows NT 34.510 RTM \| Not working \| Incompatible with OpenBIOS \|- \|} ~~\| Windows NT 4.0 SP2~~ ====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 /path/to/AIX_4.3/Volume_1.iso</pre> If you have a physical CD, you can replace <code>-cdrom /path/to/AIX_4.3/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 /path/to/AIX_5.1_CD_1.iso</pre> If you have a physical CD, you can replace <code>-cdrom /path/to/AIX_5.1_CD_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> ===PowerMAC family boards (g3beige, mac99)=== [[File:PowerMac G4.jpg\|thumb\|250px]] <code>g3beige</code> emulates a G3 PowerMac, whereas <code>mac99</code> emulates the G4 PowerPC Macs. It is recommended to use <code>mac99</code> in almost all cases unless it's for a compatibility reason. QEMU emulates the following peripherals for these machines: UniNorth or Grackle PCI Bridge PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions 2 PMAC IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support NE2000 PCI adapters Non Volatile RAM VIA-CUDA with ADB keyboard and mouse. Like the 40p, both machines use OpenBIOS, which is capable of booting almost every version of PowerPC MacOS. Some options that can be used with mac99 are: {\| class="wikitable" \|- ! Flag ! What it provides \|- \| -M mac99,via=pmu \| Power Management Unit, provides USB mouse and keyboard \|- \| -M mac99,via=pmu-adb \| Power Management Unit with ADB bus, should be used with older OSes that don't have USB support \|- \| -M mac99,via=cuda \| CUDA power management with ADB bus. Default \|- \|} ====Current OS compatibility sheet==== {\| class="wikitable" \|- ! Operating system ! Status !
