Aborted (core dumped) while emulating Raspian OS on QEMU raspi2

[AdityaGovardhan]

Host details:

• x86-64 processor

• Ubuntu 18.04 OS

• QEMU 4.0.0 and other required libraries

Guest detials:

• ARM processor - weirdly shows BCM2835 during kernel boot when it should be BCM2836 as per this line: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/59c58 ... 2836.c#L33

• Raspbian OS off the official download site. Version: 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster

QEMU command:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-arm -M raspi2 -kernel bootpart/kernel7.img -dtb bootpart/bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb -drive file=2019-07-10-raspbian-buster.img,format=raw,if=sd -append "rw earlyprintk console=ttyAMA0,115200 fsck.repair=yes rootwait memtest=1 loglevel=8 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" -serial stdio

Kernel Boot Output:

In detail:

1. Downloaded Raspbian OS from the official Raspberry Pi website and unzip it

   Code: Select all

   unzip 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster.zip

2. Extract boot folder using following steps:

   Code: Select all

   $ mkdir bootpart
   $ guestfish --ro -a 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster.img -m /dev/sda1
   ><fs> copy-out / bootpart/
   ><fs> quit

3. execute above qemu command

Note:

• I have tried expanding the rootfs at /dev/sda2 and booting, leading to the same error

• I have tried commenting out /etc/ld.so.preload, leading to same error

• If I don't login to raspberry pi, still the core is dumped, which makes me think that it could be a kernel level problem

I would be glad if someone could hint me towards mitigating the core dump issue. Thank you.
