QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

Create a simple "Hello world" program that prints on the serial port of an emulated ARM system, using the CodeSourcery gcc toolchain and the QEMU emulator of the Versatile board.

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.

Instructions to compile and run the U-Boot bootloader inside a QEMU emulation of an ARM platform.

This week there was the release of QEMU 0.12.2 (and the subsequent release of KVM-QEMU 0.12.2) with support for block migration, but this point release was mostly made up of small fixes and tweaks. IBM's Anthony Liguori though has begun making plans for the next major release of this open-source processor emulator.

In this post I prepared what I think is the simplest example on how to manage interrupts for the widespread ARM926 core. From this example one can expand the complexity of the interrupt management at will. I’m going to test the functionality with QEMU, emulating the Versatile Platform Baseboard.

I lost count of the number of times someone told me I was nuts for wanting to compile a new kernel Why not get a new different distro of Linux that works on a specific machine? What is wrong with the kernel that comes with the distro? There are reasons for compiling a new kernel.

Booting Linux on QEMU ARM emulator mounting the root filesystem through NFS exports.

What is QEMU? It's a free software "processor emulator", which means it's capable of running applications written for other systems natively on your current operating system.
