At the time of writing this is the intended build process:
./build.sh
scuba clean
scuba patch
scuba configure
scuba build
scuba ./mips64-softmmu/qemu-system-mips64 -m 256 -M octeon -nographic -bios /u-boot-octeon_ebh5610.bin -kernel /vmlinux.64 -append 'coremask=0xfff mem=0 root=/dev/sda2'
I make no guarantees beyond what the initial paper did for this.
The paper, while impressive, produced unusable artifacts for a variety of reasons.
As a result I set out to fix the problems with the original repo.
I feel I have done that and produced a repeatable and stable build system.
You may be wondering why I have included the unpacked qemu-1.0.1 files...
The answer is that I am backporting fixes I deem necessary to core functionality
not present in the tar archives online.
You could theoretically just use the tar file
1.) Fix the paper's linux patch as well
2.) Move the backported fixes to separate branch?
