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.
