Get/generate simulation images (old version = with ramdisk)

• In our tests we used the QEMU Versatile PB emulated hardware. To get a compatible Linux kernel for this board then:

 $ cd your_armadeus_view/
 $ wget http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/arm-versatile/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-versatile

• get some useful environment variables:

 $ make shell_env
 $ source armadeus_env.sh

• in $ARMADEUS_ROOTFS_DIR/etc/inittab, comment following line:

 ttySMX0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttySMX0 115200,57600,38400 vt100

• Generate your Armadeus Rootfs as an EXT2 image:

 $ make menuconfig

Target filesystem options  ---> 
    [*] ext2 root filesystem
    ... (keep all default options)

 $ make

• be sure that your rootfs image is less than 16Mbytes (Ramdisk limit)

$ ls -al $ARMADEUS_BINARIES/*.ext2

• and zip it (we will use it as Ramdisk first):

 $ gzip -9 $ARMADEUS_BINARIES/apfxx-rootfs.arm.ext2

• Create a fake QEMU Hard disk image

 $ qemu-img create -f qcow rootfs.arm_nofpu2.img 20M
