QEMU Showing Black Screen After Creating Linux uImage for ARM - linux-kernel

So I have been following this article:
https://opensourceforu.com/2011/06/qemu-for-embedded-systems-development-part-1/
I first made sure that I enabled the “Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel” option in the menuconfig and saved it as .config
After that I ran the following command and got the following output:
ivan#UbuntuMATE:~/Programming/linux$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- uImage -s LOADADDR=0x00008000
<stdin>:1332:2: warning: #warning syscall io_pgetevents not implemented [-Wcpp]
Image Name: Linux-4.18.0-10986-g778a33959a8a
Created: Mon Aug 20 23:09:46 2018
Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 2816048 Bytes = 2750.05 kB = 2.69 MB
Load Address: 00008000
Entry Point: 00008000
Now the problem happens when I try to test the image with the following command:
ivan#UbuntuMATE:~/Programming/linux$ qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 256M -kernel arch/arm/boot/uImage
I get a black screen. I understand that the kernel will crash, but I still expect to see text on the screen. After reading comments and several questions similar to this online, I try the following command:
ivan#UbuntuMATE:~/Programming/linux$ qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 256M -kernel arch/arm/boot/uImage -append "console=ttyAMA0"
I have also tried with tty1 and even tried what this link suggested:
Just black screen after running Qemu
Please advise as to how to proceed. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I figured it out!! Thank you #bornfree for the starting point in guiding me to the answer!
Low and behold I no longer get a blank screen but I still get an error:
Error: invalid dtb and unrecognized/unsupported machine ID
r1=0x00000183, r2=0x00000100
r2[]=05 00 00 00 01 00 41 54 01 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 Available machine support:

ffffffff Generic DT based system
ffffffff ARM-Versatile (Device Tree Support)
Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.
So after doing some research, I learned that the reason why my old commands didn't work was because back in the day they had all the code for the different boards in the kernel. So they decided to separate it out into device tree files (which is what I believe you were referring to in your last email?) So I noticed that the board files are included in /arch/arm/dts folder but they were just source files. So I had to find a way to compile the board to a dtb to be able to include it to qemu using -dtb. At first I found this command:
ivan#UbuntuMATE-VBox:~/linux/scripts/dtc$ ./dtc -I dts -O dtb -o versatile-pb.dtb /home/ivan/linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/versatile-pb.dts
Error: /home/ivan/linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/versatile-pb.dts:2.1-2 syntax error FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
So that was a bit discouraging until I found out there is a way with make to make the image I need. First to generate the config file.
ivan#UbuntuMATE-VBox:~/linux$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- versatile_defconfig
Then to generate the dtb file:
ivan#UbuntuMATE-VBox:~/linux$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- dtbs
(Before continuing I should mention that I built the simple root file system mentioned in the original tutorial I was following. You'll see below what I mean).
Then I tried running the command again:
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 256M -nographic -kernel /home/ivan/linux/arch/arm/boot/uImage -initrd /home/ivan/opt/test/rootfs -dtb dts/versatile-pb.dtb -append "root=/dev/ram rdinit=/hello console= ttyS0"
Then I get another error:
vpb_sic_write: Bad register offset 0x2c
So I found out that ttyS0 emulates PC-style 8250/16550 serial ports where QEMU uses AMBA PL011 for the versatile machines so it uses ttyAMA0, which was originally what I tested with. Since my line has changed I figured I should change it...
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 256M -nographic -kernel /home/ivan/linux/arch/arm/boot/uImage -initrd /home/ivan/opt/test/rootfs -dtb dts/versatile-pb.dtb -append "root=/dev/ram rdinit=/hello console= ttyAMA0"
Low and behold....it finally worked!!!
vpb_sic_write: Bad register offset 0x2c

VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2): error -2

What I am trying to do is to have a working Linux kernel with rootfs running on STM32F769I discovery board.
I built the u-boot, kernel and device tree for it using Buildroot, it has been an uphill struggle for me because I am a beginner with embedded systems.
I have managed to get it to the point where the kernel has to mount the rootfs partition from SD card, but it is unable to do so the boot partition here is set correctly and it is even recognized by the kernel but somehow the kernel still panics and is unable to read it.
On the SD card there are two partitions:
mmcblk0p1: vfat
mmcblk0p2: ext3

In buildroot, I've tried various configurations for the getty baudrate but to no avail. Please give me some pointers as to what exactly is going wrong. Currently I have tried with vt100, kernel selected baudrate as well as vt100, 115200 and it both fails
Update
As of now I have been able to see the login prompt after a slight modification to the command line arguments as follows:
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 512M
-kernel linux-4.20.8/arch/arm/boot/zImage
-dtb linux-4.20.8/arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb
-append "console=ttyAMA0,115200 ip=dhcp"
-initrd buildroot/output/images/rootfs.cpio
-serial stdio <s>-nographic</s>
-netdev user,id=mynet0,net=192.168.160.0/24,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=mynet0
As you can see I've replaced -nographic with -serial stdio so I now see the QEMU GUI window separately (which is blank by the way) and I see the login prompt.What is going on here?
Additionally, I cannot use ssh to log into the VM from my Debian host (ssh has been selected in buildroot as you can see from the following log messages (which appear after my latest modification)
random: ssh-keygen: uninitialized urandom read (32 bytes read)
ssh-keygen: generating new host keys: RSA DSA ECDSA ED25519
Starting sshd: random: sshd: uninitialized urandom read (32 bytes read)
OK
Welcome to Buildroot
buildroot login: root
Password:
I've enabled root login by modifying the sshd_config file on the VM. I've tried ssh root#localhost:2222 as well as ssh root#192.168.160.9 but it just dies out (doesn't say if connection was refused or anything). I'm kind of lost here.
As per your instructions on the kernel command line (rdinit) the Linux kernel runs /sbin/init after boot as the first user process.
The one that is typically configured with Busybox (there are several options) will read a configuration file called /etc/inittab and act based on what is written there.
The execution of /etc/init.d/rcS, if at all, is performed from this file.
It is hard to pinpoint exactly what is happening but at a first step take a look at /etc/inittab. It is possible it is already mounting /proc.
At the very least I am guessing the errors regarding /dev/ttyy originates from directives in this file and can be silenced by editing it.

What must I change to boot Linux 4.9 with Nios2?

I read the manual and used buildroot the create the images
$ ls buildroot/output/images/
rootfs.cpio rootfs.jffs2 rootfs.tar
Then I built u-boot:
~/nios2/u-boot-socfpga$ ls -al u-boot
-rwxrwxr-x 1 developer developer 852924 apr 8 14:00 u-boot
Then I do make menuconfig and choose the path to the buildroot files
Now I build the vmImage.
OBJCOPY arch/nios2/boot/vmlinux.bin
GZIP arch/nios2/boot/vmlinux.gz
UIMAGE arch/nios2/boot/vmImage

I wonder why I can't run any of the generated images now. Where is the faulty method? It all compiles but my file system doesn't come in place when I download the files to the fpga:

What can I do about it?
You must point the initramfs source file to the cpio archive, so /home/developer/nios2/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.cpio.
Even easier is to let Buildroot build your kernel and choose the initramfs filesystem. Then Buildroot will take care of linking the initramfs into the kernel.

[<c0492ccc>] (cpuidle_enter_state) from [<c014a72c>] (cpu_startup_entryFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
It seems that the Virtual File System tries to read from some unknown-block:
VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2): error -30
Googling, no solutions were found.
Has somebody some idea on how to solve this? Where can we have a look? Which parameter to play with?
Finally I solved all the problems I had (running linux on Zybo with a custom hw in the Programmable Logic). Yes, because I am a beginner, I found different problems:
1) One of the problem was in the .dts: the part with eFuse was compleatly missing. Xilinx committed another version of the .dts with the problem fixed.
2) Another big problem was with the bitstream: at the beginning I wanted to program the PL on Zybo with a running linux using: cat bitstream.bit > /dev/xdevcfg. Of course this is compleatly possible (I tested it) as it is explaned in [this wiki-page][1]. Problem: if you have a custom HW in in FPGA you have also its description in the device-tree. The kernel tries to initialize all the periferics connected to the PS but, of course, the PL is not yet connected!! The solution is to download the bitstream before, including it in the boot.bif in order to generate the boot.bin in the right way:
image : {
[bootloader]fsbl.elf
bitstream.bit
u-boot.elf
devicetree.dtb
uramdisk.image.gz
uImage.bin // currently bootgen requires a file extension. this is just a renamed uImage
}
of course using: bootgen -image boot.bif -o i boot.bin.
There were other little problems and I will try to add a list in future editing-revision of this answer.
UPDATE:
to solve the problem described in the question, if there are no additional problems/errors, should be enough to add the bootargs the option rootdelay=3 (rootdelay — Time to delay before attempting to mount the root filesystem).
This can be necessary because u-boot tries to access the SD too fast and the SD is not ready yet.
You have it set to use the root filesystem on mmcblk0p2 - the second partition of your SD-card. If the filesystem is in fact placed there, you have to verify that the kernel has support for what the partition was formatted with (e.g. ext3).
Is this a prebuilt image or one you built yourself?
If you use the command petalinux-config before building, you can change settings for where to store the filesystem.
Btw, this is a very common problem so you should find lots of info if you use the right terms when you google it.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
** i cross compiled and downloaded a linux image to a xilinx FPGA and after opening a picocom terminal and running, the following kernel panic error was displayed.Please help me figure this out
Thank you**
Your kernel got a bad page fault for some reason. There is not really enough information here to say why.
The offending instruction was at PC=C025C628, which you might be able to find in the symbol table of your vmlinux.
