Has anyone tried to, or successfully booted an LS2 (SDK version) firmware in this OVP simulator?
I would like to be able to do that - to tweak firmwares - in the absence of LS2 hardware (I usually sell them as fast as I get them.)
I already installed Ubuntu and the Tool Chain ... and thus have the build environment to compile the firmware.
I downloaded OVP and something called Mips Malta which has a demonstration of booting a minimal Debian Linux / Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3) Built-in shell (ash)
It can also be used to make a full installation of Debian Linux.
* But I'm thinking to make a platform to boot the LS2 firmware provided by ubnt and be able to at least access the shell, network / ethernet. Be able to test customised web pages, etc. Don't care that it won't see a real 802.11b/g radio board.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
system type: MIPS Malta
processor: 0
cpu model: MIPS 4KEc v0.0
BogoMips: 99.32
wait instruction: yes
microsecond timers: yes
tlb_entries: 16
extra interrup vector: yes
harware watchpoint: no
ASEs implemented:
shadow register sets: 1
VCED exceptions: not available
VCEI exceptions: not available
* So anyone did this? knows how to do this? boot LS2 on OVP?
