[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1733720] [NEW] raspi2 with multiple CPU's #1

[Ken Dickey]

Public bug reported:

Greetings,

I am running a small program for raspi2 (from
http://wiki.osdev.org/ARM_RaspberryPi_Tutorial_C).

This code writes "Hello World", but the output ir repeated 4 times.

My thought was that this is emulating a 4 cpu core system.

However, when I check the MPIDR registed for CPU number, it always
returns 1.

I git cloned github.com/qemu/qemu.git, made & installed on Acer ARM
CB5-311 under Crouton/ubuntu.


./qemu.sh 
1111

        cpu_id = read_mpdir() & 0x03;

        uart_putc( "01234"[cpu_id] ); /* output is "1111" */

        if (cpu_id == 0) { /* code never executes 8^( */ }
