SDK/MeeGo Image On Windows With QEMU

This page describes how to run MeeGo image.

Prepare environment

(Suppose there is shell window available in you system, although it not really necessary)

Download QEMU binary from http://osve-files.sh.intel.com/pub/misc/sdk/windows/qemu.tgz and get binary with

tar xzvf qemu.tgz

Download image file from http://osve-files.sh.intel.com/pub/misc/sdk/windows/meego-handset-ia32-pinetrail-mtf-1.0.90.2.20100914.1-sdk-1.1.80.20101023.1936-sda.raw.bz2, and get the image with:

bunzip2 meego-handset-ia32-pinetrail-mtf-1.0.90.2.20100914.1-sdk-1.1.80.20101023.1936-sda.raw.bz2

Download the command line option from http://osve-files.sh.intel.com/pub/misc/sdk/windows/command.sh

(optional) install kqemu accelerator for QEMU on Windows

Download package from http://wiki.qemu.org/download/kqemu-1.4.0pre1.tar.gz

Get the kqemu.inf and kqemu.sys files from above package

For WindowsXP system, right click the kqemu.inf file and select "install".

For WindowsVista system, edit the kqemu.inf file to do below changes, and then right click the kqemu.inf, select "install".

  [DefaultInstall.NT] --> [DefaultInstall]
  [DefaultInstall.NT.Services] --> [DefaultInstall.Services]
  [Uninstall.NT] --> [Uninstall]
  [Uninstall.NT.Services] --> [Uninstall.Services]

Start the kqemu manually:

net start kqemu

Notice: The kqemu could only be used on 32-bit windows system. 64-bit Win7 or WinXP could not work with kqemu

Run meego image

edit the command.sh to set the correct path for qemu.exe and pc-bios. Then run the command:

./command.sh

This command will boot into command line window. Log in with "meego" account and password "meego", then start the UI by running:

uxlaunch

UI will show up.

This is verified on WindowsXP 32-bit with kqemu enabled on Dell OPTIPLEX 760.

Notice:

Screen output will be in the same directory as qemu.exe, in the two files of stderr.txt and stdout.ext

GL acceleration is *not* enabled
