[Qemu-devel] [Bug 808737] Re: No option to load additional binary files from command line in QEMU

[Anup Patel]

Just to add to my use case.

Currently, to load a test binary called "arm_test.bin.patched" i have
hacked QEMU in the following manner:

diff --git a/hw/arm_boot.c b/hw/arm_boot.c
index bfac982..e4873d4 100644
--- a/hw/arm_boot.c
+++ b/hw/arm_boot.c

*info)
                                info->smp_loader_start);
         }
         info->initrd_size = initrd_size;
+    } else {
+        initrd_size = load_image_targphys("arm_test.bin", 0x100000, 0x1000000);
+        if (initrd_size < 0) {
+            fprintf(stderr, "qemu: could not load arm test code '%s'\n",
+                    "arm_test.bin");
+            exit(1);
+        }
     }
     info->is_linux = is_linux;
