Is there any real life ARM device that supports 8G RAM?
I dont know. All I know is I need more than 512M. I am experimenting with
QT. Compiling it on a current Sheeva/Guru plug takes 3 days with about 2gb
of swap. If I can get more memory to toy with then it will make life so
much easier. After I get my results, I will spend the 3 days to get a
compile on hardware.
I see these two options in the qemu manual:
-mem-path path
Allocate guest RAM from a temporarily created file in path.
-mem-prealloc
Preallocate memory when using -mem-path.
I have never tried.
hmmm nice find! I suspect these only affect main ram usage within the guest as
such the 256M qemu limitation would still apply, but I'll give it a try!
Thanks again!
