Thanks for the info. I think I've got a vague grasp on this. Am I right in thinking that I can create a uni-kernel with solo5 in the form of a .iso? And this image could be run by QEMU like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom image.iso -m 512 So I'd need to build mirage outside the Pi but could then deploy it this way?
