The patch available from http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?t=2718 adds a new utility, qemu-nbds, that implements a NBD server I have been using nbd volumes mounted from inside qemu for filestore and for swap, both read-write, served from files and from partitions, with the unmodified

2006-12-01 Thread Martin Guy
This patch adds support for slowing down qemu and saving cpu load. P! if you're using the right kernel, QEMU will sleep while there is nothing to be done. Otherwise just nice -10 it. Voto contra M ___ Qemu-devel mailing list

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix char signedness

2006-10-28 Thread Martin Guy
gcc on ARM systems default to unsigned. The C standard specifically states that char is either signed or unsigned at the whim of the implementor Or, more to the point, at the behest of the machine architecture. Having to generate code to sign-extend the hard way every time you do char-integer

Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu vs gcc4

2006-10-23 Thread Martin Guy
Now, gcc4 can produce code with several return instructions (with no option to turn that of, as far as I understand). You cannot cut them out, and therefore you cannot chain the simple functions. ...unless you also map return instructions within the generated functions into branches to the

VMWare's config file style is really simple ethernet0.present = TRUE ethernet0.virtualDev = e1000 e1000bios.filename = path/etherboot-for-E1000 and it would be possible to use VMWare's files with few or no changes. Would that be enough to be able to move the emulated system description into

Re: [Qemu-devel] Question about target port

2006-10-15 Thread Martin Guy
How can I change target CPU to Atmel's AVR and don't care about host. i.e:host CPU is X86(PC),target CPU is Atmel's AVR. Hi Atmel AVR is a different processor from the ones that QEMU emulates. You would need to implement an entire new emulation inside QEMU; that is a LOT of work in C
