I'm currently emulating a SS-5 under QEMU on x86_64 Linux. From
what I could understand in the documentation, the sound chip, CS-4231.
The wiki https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/target-sparc.html
states "CS4231 sound device (only on SS-5, not working yet)".
That documentation hasn't been edited in a long time, I suspect,
so it is possible it's just out of date. Have you tried the
sound and found that it does indeed not work ?
Mark, do you know what the current status of sound on SS-5 is?
Last time I looked at this, I found that the CS4231 chip implementation in QEMU is
simply a stub register block that is enough to allow various guest OSs to boot.
Any more information on what the current status is and the potential
stumbling blocks, if any?
Without any further information, I would suspect the usual situation
when some area of QEMU has not moved forward in many years: there is
no active developer who cares enough about that specific thing to go
and look at it.
Indeed: it's not something that has been requested by any clients or part of my
personal use cases so I haven't spent any time on it to date. If you have access to a
datasheet and are looking to sponsor development, feel free to contact me directly
and we can continue the discussion there.
ATB,
Mark.
