The Qemu implementation uses a Flattened Device Tree (FTD) to manage the virtual implementation of the physical devices in a machine. I need to create a FTD entry for the MCTP-PCC implementation I am writing in Qemu. Since this is new to me, and I am working (as I most often do) via Ttrial and error, I want to see the FTD entry after I write it. Here is how I am dumping it.
Continue readingWhen developing Linux Kernel code, I have found myself wanting to have a test fixture inside the Firmware that lets me inspect the values communicated out of and into the Linux Kernel. I am currently writing one such fixture in Qemu. And I have an interrupt that is not getting handled by the Linux Kernel, I think because it is not getting delivered.
I have found it quite valuable to run this Qemu process in the Gnu Debugger. Here is how I (with help) got to the bottom of the mystery.
Continue readingMy defaults are set for Linux Kernel development, but I have been in Qemu land lately and these values make it easier to format.
