Qemu kernel for emulating Rpi on QEMU

While I was searching the internet about emulating QEMU, most of the guides pointed to link https://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu which is dead as of now. So making it available on github for someone who would like to use it. Hope it helps.

This repo contains two kernels.

kernel-qemu-3.10.25-wheezy, which is the original kernel from link https://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu - Works fine with any wheezy image with changes mentioned in wiki.

kernel-qemu-4.1.7-jessie, which is newer kernel compiled compatible with jessie as well as it works well with older wheezy images, build scripts are in tools folder for reference.

Known issues:

  1. kernel-qemu-4.1.7-jessie doesn't seem to work properly with 2014-09-24 jessie image as it sends to emergency mode after making standard changes in .img file. Feel free to contribute to wiki / create a PR if you have found a work around for this issue.
