openembedded (#1) - QEMU and creating a virtual PXA270 system (#15) - Message List

I have been attempting, with little luck, to convince qemu-system-arm to emulate a pxa270 system, so that I could develop in a 'virtual ZipIt? 2'. Is anyone out there experienced with such things? I could use some help on appropriate command line options, and a source for the basic files I'd need. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as 'qemu-system-arm -M mainstone -cpu pxa270 -cdrom debian-blah-blah.iso -hda hda.img -m 256 (I wish it were that simple!) It keeps asking for pflash images, and I don't know what to give it. When I give it kernel images or the like, it just boots to a blank screen...

I'm guessing, based on what I've learned from woring on the ZipIt? 2 in Linux, that the pflash items correspond to the MTD devices. The first one on the ZipIt? 2 seems to be 64KB, and I'm guessing it's a boot loader. The second is 2MB, and I'm guessing that one holds a kernel. The third one contains actual files.

I'm going to rip the first two MTDs out of my ZipIt? with dd and attempt booting them in the emulator. Am I on the right track?
