[RFC PATCH] configure: deprecate 32 bit build hosts

2019-09-25 Thread Alex Bennée
The 32 bit hosts are already a second class citizen especially with support for running 64 bit guests under TCG. We are also limited by testing as actual working 32 bit machines are getting quite rare in developers personal menageries. For TCG supporting newer types like Int128 is a lot harder

yes. fully bridged access via a tap is what I was looking for...but I don't see anything on your command line identifying the guest network as cadence_gem: no model=cadence_gem. Is it implicit? I prefer to run all guests under bridged-tap so that they can be seen by the host network...I guess

arm/cadence_gem driver support

2019-09-25 Thread Kent Dorfman
I need to emulate the xilinx-zynq cortex-a9 since my hardware won't be here anytime soon. In experimenting and reading it looks like the cadence_gem driver is only available when using the -net nic,model=cadence_gem option, and not as a -device driver option. This seems to negate the ability to

Thanks for the input! Could you post your complete startup command sequence for the VM? I'm trying to get a handle on whether I would need to create DTB files for the image. Also I've noted that qemu can be picky about command option ordering. Thanks On 9/25/19, Alexei Colin wrote: > On Wed,

Also noticed that you are using a xilinx fork of the qemu package. Would prefer to NOT use their fork, as I'm very much opposed to having to register on corporate websites to acquire and use OS tools. Have any xilinx specific enhancements made it back into the main repository? does version 4.x
