You can also download the filesystem image suitable for your target architecture from http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.1/machines/qemu. Again, be sure to use the filesystem that matches the architecture you want to simulate.
The filesystem image has two tarball forms: ext3
and
tar
.
You must use the ext3
form when booting an image using the
QEMU emulator.
The tar
form can be flattened out in your host development system
and used for build purposes with the Yocto Project.

.tar.bz2 Where:profile
is the filesystem image's profile: lsb, lsb-dev, lsb-sdk, lsb-qt3, minimal, minimal-dev, sato, sato-dev, or sato-sdk. For information on these types of image profiles, see the "Images" chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.arch
is a string representing the target architecture: x86, x86-64, ppc, mips, or arm.
