I have been trying to build a RTEMS image for GRUB2 following the

I have followed all instructions and placed the image  and the directory

gives

.
|-- examples
|   `-- ticker.exe
|-- grub.cfg
|-- mkimage.sh
|-- qemu.sh
`-- rtems-boot.img

But when I do the following:

Holmes sambeet # ./qemu.sh

You did not provide the disk image, see the qemu.sh script, ie '-hda $1'.

qemu-system-i386: -hda -hdb: Could not open '-hdb': No such file or
directory

This makes sense because you are missing the file for the -hda option and so qemu uses -hdb as the name of the file.


I get the following output instead of Ticker.exe running and GRUB screen
appearing.

I have also followed the instructions from

http://jin-yang.github.io/blog/build-a-RTEMS-environment.html. There's the
same error there too.

I want to create and build a RTEMS image without using the usual
RTEMS-testing module to understand the process in detail.Can someone please
help?

The file rtems-boot.img is a boot disk which qemu's BIOS will load and boot and load grub, the -hda $1 option. In the image is a default grub script that should chain to the grub script on the hard disk, the -hdb fat:.. Qemu should create a hard disk with an MSDOS partition based on the host's local directory you run the script from. That disk will be the directory tree you see. Be careful there is a limit to the number of files qemu can handle when doing this.

The 2 srage script lets you change or generate a specific grub script without needing to rebuild the boot disk image.
