Four executables cover simulation of 32 and 64-bit MIPS systems in
|
|
both endian options, @file{qemu-system-mips}, @file{qemu-system-mipsel}
|
|
@file{qemu-system-mips64} and @file{qemu-system-mips64el}.
|

Example of @file{qemu-system-mipsel} usage for nanoMIPS is shown below:
|
|
|
|
Download @code{<disk_image_file>} from @url{https://mipsdistros.mips.com/LinuxDistro/nanomips/buildroot/index.html}.
|
|
|
|
Download @code{<kernel_image_file>} from @url{https://mipsdistros.mips.com/LinuxDistro/nanomips/kernels/v4.15.18-432-gb2eb9a8b07a1-20180627102142/index.html}.
