Hi Edgar, I have CCed Peter Maydell (ARM maintainer in QEMU). I'm not up-to-speed on the ARM side of things but it sounds like you need to get the details of the STM32L's hardware (datasheets from the STMicroelectronics) and then see what's missing in QEMU. You may need to add emulation code for new devices if they aren't already there for other CortexM3 boards. Once you've got something basic working, send patches to the qemu-devel mailing list to get feedback. Guidelines on submitting patches are here: http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch You mentioned you are a student. If you are interested in a 12-week, paid open source gig working on QEMU this summer, check out our Google Summer of Code page. Applications start today and go until March 21st: http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 Stefan
