If QEMU asserts like this, this is a bug in QEMU. I've cc'd the maintainers of the Xilinx board. Could you provide a complete set of instructions to reproduce this bug, please ? (full command line, guest image, etc) Could you also tell us which version of QEMU you are using? If possible, try with the current git master or with the 3.1 rc2 release candidate we've just put out, to see if it's already been fixed. thanks -- PMM
