The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of Linaro QEMU 2011.03-1.
Linaro QEMU 2011.03-1 is the second release of qemu-linaro. Based off upstream (trunk) qemu, it includes a number of ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.
This release includes a model of the ARM Versatile Express platform. This is still experimental but may be of use to people who want a model supporting up to 1GB of RAM with graphics and networking. Instructions for getting started with it are on the wiki: https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/QemuVersatileExpress
Other interesting changes include: - The OMAP emulation bug which was causing hangs if Linux tried to enable a swapfile is fixed - The OMAP UART model has been improved; this fixes the problem where kernels using the new omap-hsuart serial drivers stopped serial output halfway through boot. - As usual, various minor correctness fixes and other upstream changes
Known issues: - The beagle and beaglexm models do not support USB, so there is no keyboard, mouse or networking (#708703)
The only change over the shortlived 2011.03-0 is that the last minute bug #731093 has been fixed (versatilepb models would crash on startup.)
The source tarball is available at: https://launchpad.net/qemu-linaro/+milestone/2011.03-1
Binary builds of this qemu-linaro release are being prepared and will be available shortly for users of Ubuntu. When ready, Natty packages of qemu-linaro 2011.03-1 will be in the Ubuntu archive. Packages for users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 10.10 will be in the linaro-maintainers tools ppa:

Hello,
Is there any interest in getting Android working on versatile express QEMU? If there are people who would like to initiate this work, we would like to help test and add fixes/features.
Thanks, Bahadir

Hi Bahadir. Thanks for the offer. I'll bring this up at tomorrows techleads meeting.

ARM had provided me with some links about their Android support efforts: https://wiki.linaro.org/AndroidResources there is one kernel git tree for all boards and the Android downloads tab on arm.com/linux has some binaries; the linux-arm.org wiki has some instructions.
