OK, so from what I can tell, nxp t2080 is book e (don't see 3e, but is what I can find as a book code), and 460ex is book e, would I be able to kvm the sam460 on a t2080rdb kit?

@billt

It could work, let us know your results.
For sure we have max compatibility in kvm when cpu host == cpu guest.

@billt

sure that cpu insnt a e6500 compatible cpu with altivec? if like this is a books not a booke it mean cant kvm-pr a sam460 but can kvm-pr a G4 pegasos or a p6t

Yes, the NXP T2080 CPU is an e6500 book3e, and yes, in theory it should be able to activate KVM for emulating other book3e based cpus, such as the AMCC 460ex that was used in the Sam460ex.

Unfortunately, qemu stop working if you try to enable KVM on e6500 based system, at least on my Debian PPC64 based system. The problem can be either in qemu, or in the Linux kernel. So far I have tried multiple 4.x and 5.x kernels, same results.
Will try to investigate a bit more how KVM behave under the Fienix distro, which has a 32 bit Linux userland.

Emulation of the Sam460ex does work and you can launch and use AmigaOS 4.1, but like in other system is slow as everything is emulated in software mode.

@virgolamobile

..Try also with a linux 32bit system.

Sadly QEMU dev team is moved by other interests with an high priority focus on Power7/8/9 systems (looking into powerpc qemu branch).
If we want to support other targets like Sam460ex or PowerMacs, we have to take our hand into sources and improve support/compatibility.
Sadly QEMU does not have any SDK or "tutorial" on how to implement a new board or new devices or how to hardwire them each others.
We have to learn how get all those things simply looking inside sources.
It's an hard work even because the project is huge and very complex!
..the guys involved into QEMU are all employed (directly or indirectly) by major companies like RedHat, Linaro, Intel, Arm, Debian, etc...
All engineers are 100% targeted to implement what is needed to their respective companies, no one is interested in extend support for old architectures.

Until now there's only a guy really interested to implement QEMU support for Amigalike systems (AMIGA/MOS/AROS).
His name is Zoltan Balaton, he is independent from any other interest and he have all my respect and support.

If someone is interested in QEMU development of AmigaLike systems here is where to start

did you try to kvm-pr a g4 on mac99 and run macosx?if there working all is normal..on ppc book3s only mac99,g3beige and spapr work with kvm. on book3e (x5000)i was able to have linux working

No book3s based system in here, sorry, cannot try that.

So you can confirm that you are able to run at full speed an hosted Linux with KVM enabled on the X5000?


I have just tried to launch qemu on Fienix, that has userland 32bit (qemu executable is compiled for PPC 32bit). Same result as when I run it on Debian SID that has 64bit userland (qemu is compiled for PPC64).
The T2080RDB run a 64bit kernel, as it is not possible to compile a 32bit kernel for e6500.

QEMU starts when I enable KVM, the virtual hw is initialized, but then it hangs even before mounting the hard disk.
The kernel log I get from the serial is floodded with pretty much that same message reported below, over and over again continuously, just with minor changes in it between messages

@virgolamobile

yes x5000 have working kvm and handle book3e freescale cpus.
did you try what happen if you do like this?
qemu-system-ppc -cpu g4 -M mac99 --enable-kvm

Any combination I try for launching qemu-system-ppc or qemu-system-ppc64 with "-M mac99" I always end up with the following message

kvm_init_vcpu failed: Function not implemented

@virgolamobile

it mean the kvm-pr inst available for e6500 .
and if you try to run it with
qemu-system-ppc -M Mac99 --enable-kvm -cpu (your cpu class)
qemu-system-ppc -cpu help or -cpu ? will gave the complete list of qemu cpus

ppc64@t2080rdb:~$ qemu-system-ppc -M Mac99 --enable-kvm -cpu e6500
qemu-system-ppc: -M Mac99: unsupported machine type
Use -machine help to list supported machines

The only allowed machine for enabling KVM on the T2080 is the "ppce500" combined with a book3e cpu, such e500, e500mc, e500v1, e500v2, e5500, e6500.

By reading the NXP forum, it seems that KVM can only work when you use the very same cpu of the host, so I must use "e6500" https://community.nxp.com/thread/434689

Here a interesting overview of KVM implementation for the e500 http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/E500_virtual_CPU_specification

@virgolamobile

... nxp programmers usually implement the qemu kvm like is ppce500 . and now i understand they just make compatibility with their hardware.
In your case i understand you will able to kvm an X5000. if you have access to a x5000 linux kernel im sure you will be able to load and run it inside a qemu vmachine with kvm... but you will not able to make the same with other ppc hardware... like spapr or g3beige or Mac99. This is really sad.

I compiled qemu 5 rc 1 on Ubuntu 18.04.x and it says machine type not supported.
