The embedded space contains a vast number of boards, often only different by what devices are use, where they are located, etc. Building a new version of qemu for each board would be burdensome. The hope would be that we could build a generic qemu (for an architecture family), say, ppc_ge

Greetings, I have been working with QEmu for a few months now at Wind River. I am sure many of you already know Jason Wessel and Alex deVries who championed QEmu as a tool for our Linux product. It is my goal to demonstrate the power of QEmu for embedded software development (excuse me,
