Greetings. Its my understanding that for creating machine definitions for qemu one uses what amount to 'drivers' or 'hardware simulations'. I was wondering if there was what amounted to a blank or raw memory area one could use as a placeholder for a peripheral which is currently undocumented and lacking source code for the linux kernel drivers the vendor ships.
My aim is to simulate as much of the hardware as I've managed to positively identify (mostly primecell stuff) and use the blank/placeholder address space to observe the interactions between the blob drivers with the known address space within a simulated environment to hopefully deduce the hardware registers for the peripherals (mostly a/v & h264/jpeg stuff). Any tips and tricks you could provide I would be greatly appreciative. Marty.
