-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1,SHA256 Debian Wheezy armhf images for QEMU =================================== This directory contains Debian Wheezy armhf images for QEMU and the corresponding kernel and initrd: 6474b4cce67fdfa7df7b65eaf6be25b9 debian_wheezy_armhf_standard.qcow2 9cec027174ee769486eb5e1d2f550c1a debian_wheezy_armhf_desktop.qcow2 2aa949c0a816ad87b1abf3a4da36a0b7 initrd.img-3.2.0-4-vexpress 7a7e63425423e39d1891a9d4ac6ad0b6 vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress Both images are 25GiB images in QCOW2 format on which a Debian Wheezy system has been installed. The standard images correspond to a "Standard system" installation, while the desktop images correspond to a "Standard system" + "Desktop environment" with Gnome, KDE and Xfce environments. The original default desktop environment is Gnome and the default display manager is GDM. These can not work in QEMU, as Gnome needs an accelerated graphics card, which is not provided by QEMU. Moreover both Gnome and GDM need more than the default 128MiB memory provided on QEMU. They have therefore been replaced respectively by Xfce and LightDM on the desktop image. Both Gnome and GDM are still installed on the image, and the original default can be restored using the following commands: - update-alternatives --auto x-session-manager - echo /usr/sbin/gdm3 > /etc/X11/default-display-manager The other installation options are the following: - Keyboard: US - Locale: en_US - Mirror: ftp.debian.org - Hostname: debian-armel - Root password: root - User account: user - User password: user To use these images, you need to install QEMU 1.1.0 (or later). Start QEMU with the following arguments: - qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress -initrd initrd.img-3.2.0-4-vexpress -drive if=sd,file=debian_wheezy_armhf_standard.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" - qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress -initrd initrd.img-3.2.0-4-vexpress -drive if=sd,file=debian_wheezy_armhf_desktop.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" By default QEMU emulates a machine with 128MiB of RAM. The -m option increases or decreases the size of the RAM. It is however limited to 1024MiB. If you don't want to start QEMU in graphic mode, you can use the -nographic option. The image is configured to display a login prompt on the first serial port (ttyAMA0). If you want to switch the boot messages to the serial port, you need to add "console=ttyAMA0" after "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFSyvX1w3ao2vG823MRAo8uAJ0ZvI57Gpas1RH8e2B+SfDniWaj5wCghQV7 rET9K/etvn6IeawKGUybeP6JAhUDBQFSyvX1upx4Bh3djJsBCB8hD/90MwWplk8l WF87lTjgweJEHQXBASEb+tScpETspCceyUjwcwQKoOnRf3BntjppspcQ40Ysc0BZ Est8xyVcIy8XnrONETK2BMO1D941bvtwshL6rre3FdVe/qMZFOUin8eyrm6KE2Tl fWmswtQoURbCRpTc2dzOtdhdTJwPg3c/Jok4l+AHE+iYYjVFAhkBrXzwZjFAKH/T Iwue6UnoOFCch4hpcQJKBFyEni0qBFIHQs/OcZ3GTswG8gyqxi5DOhhtlVgm9xvw qKJnCjhNRDDcnMgsbpJ2Z9tkYIf/MKyPhboqqw27+hF/fyUe+feqkjR03KYPf+06 xaWLFTHRzmfH9sP+VNg61/yITPrXT697JpfSoA/pDFMtkDWKmmcHOA6Iwd6XKzxL k1imISltFp63M/uqNX2UxA7fIyPgx1wc9T4tP3w3WsoeaF4JeNlekbvoxvjeYg2C 9PU99/PaOvcN7ShKWjEQzqiJQQzPot/5nhhN/WcCqtesrXTAOFsPToVWURmmKbQz AgL7L96a+4od9gq/vHKQFLKjFKzf9L3JucpxdSnx5D//GW83N5XtewMjNvmdeuU6 wzLcthirHYItYC+gbpu8aVd1sPL35Bn7J6yvMK8HxYjf9hYdAX5B88gCppaiG9YS uehoj9uaufXkWScSJk5QDnlJ0/7VBHqGtg== =CtsP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
