If you just run qemu, and SDL was available when it was built, you get a graphical window including qemu's console and a real TTY. So there's no serial console involved at all. My qemu was built without SDL, and I ran it with -nographic. Either of those is sufficient to end up with a serial console install, effectively headless. qemu's standard input and output are the serial port. The qemu command was: qemu-system-arm -m 256 -M versatilepb -kernel qemu-kernel-image \ -initrd initrd.gz -append "mem=256M console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/ram" \ -hda qemu-disk-image -nographic -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
