Re: Abstract: My Other Machine is Virtual
Hello Alex, Sorry for the late comments. I think that looks good to me as a proposal for Connect. I spotted a couple of typos that I've highlighted inline. Would it be worth mentioning if you are going to cover bare-metal system emulation or concentrate on Linux?

+1. I would attend this presentation. QEMU has lots of power-user features that most people don't know about. -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org > On Jul 23, 2018, at 5:07 PM, Alex Bennée wrote: > > > Following on from last weeks discussion here is an alternative abstract > which instead of looking to the future with where QEMU can go would > concentrate on what you can do with QEMU now.

Abstract: My Other Machine is Virtual
Following on from last weeks discussion here is an alternative abstract which instead of looking to the future with where QEMU can go would concentrate on what you can do with QEMU now. What do you think? _ MY OTHER MACHINE IS VIRTUAL Alex Bennée _ YVR18 When working with new architectures there is often a scramble for getting access to hardware. However hardware comes with it's own problems - especially when it's new. It's hard to upgrade, hard to poke around inside and hard to experiment with. This is an area where QEMU can help. Thanks to it cross-architecture emulation and ability to run full-system emulation it provides a platform for experimentation without the potential consequences of turning your new board into a inanimate brick. This talk will start with an overview of QEMU and how various configurations can be setup. We'll then examine various features available that allow us to examine the run time behaviour of code inside QEMU as well as discuss some of its limitations. Finally we'll look at some experiments that would be hard to do with real hardware and what they can tell us about the code we are running. -- Alex Bennée ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
