Hi Anushka,
You might take a look at the readme.txt in buildroot/board/pc, it
describes how to generate a bootable image and also how to run it on
qemu.
Qemu will also boot the kernel file directly, without bootable image.
This is what I use for testing builds (kernel image contains the root
file system):
# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 256 \
-device e1000,netdev=lan0 -netdev user,id=lan0 \
-kernel /tmp/bzImage -append root=/dev/ram
Kind regards,
Andreas
