FWIW, I have one in my tree that qemu_log(LOG_GUEST_ERROR's such accesses that I use for unimplemented devices. It's worthwhile to trap such accesses and speaking for the Xilinx LQSPI case, my preference is for some form of failure rather than silent write-ignore. And can we have an option where a invalid writes have consistent behavior with unassigned accesses? Regards, Peter > cheers, > Gerd > >
