[Qemu-devel] Run realview-pbx-a9 with > 256MB memory

[Anna Fischer]

I'm running qemu-system-arm 0.14.1, and I'm emulating the Realview PBX
board for the Cortex-A9. When I configure the memory to be 256MB or
lower, it all works fine. When I configure -m 512MB, then the emulator
crashes. 

Here some of the errors I'm seeing, depending on what exactly I run. I'm
trying to run a Linux-based OS.

qemu: hardware error: mpcore_priv_read: Bad offset 8

CPU #0:
R00=f0400000 R01=f0000000 R02=00000001 R03=f0400000

Or:

qemu: hardware error: pl080_read: Bad offset fd0

PSR=200001d3 --C- A svc32

Is the realview-pbx-a9 machine configuration supposed to work with >
256MB? The real board has 512MB of RAM.

Thanks,
