Is it possible to backport commit r46269 (3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73) to CC 15.05 in order to provide harddisk support. Backporting tested (info available at: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=62389). Thnx in advance! Here is the original patch from trunk: >From 76bfcd46bd55263947461e40bd02047922755c72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: blogic <blogic@3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73> Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 14:25:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] malta: add harddisk support works with: qemu-system-mipsel -M malta \ -hda openwrt-malta-le-root.ext4 \ -kernel openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux.elf \ -nographic -append "root=/dev/sda console=ttyS0" Signed-off-by: Dirk Neukirchen <dirkneukirchen@web.de> SVN-Revision: 48666
This Malta target is intended to be used with the Qemu emulator. It can be used to prototype an OpenWrt firmware for MIPS processors. One could also use it to troubleshoot MIPS applications without access to real hardware. To use the images built by OpenWrt with qemu, use the following commands: For the little-endian image: qemu-system-mipsel -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256 For the big-endian image: qemu-system-mips -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-be-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256 and enjoy the system bootin.
