[Qemu-devel] Qemu ARM EABI project

[Lauro Ramos Venancio]

Hi all,

I'm creating a project in Sourceforge to maintain a bleeding edge
version of QEMU for ARM-EABI programs. The main idea is to keep up to
date the ARM EABI patches.

This project will be specially useful for Maemo developers and
Scratchbox users as it provides an alternative (newer) version of
QEMU.

For more details:
http://qemu-arm-eabi.sf.net/.

The current QEMU-ARM-EABI version was synchronized last wednesday with
QEMU CVS and it's working well. It was tested with Maemo/Scratchbox
and Mamona.

Contributions are welcome.

Why don't you just fix whatever's wrong with normal qemu?

Hi Paul,

Because some patches are not good enough to be applied in the
mainstream version. Other patches was not applied because the
developers that have write permission on CVS didn't have time to
analyze them.

The TLS patch is yours and it has never been applied.

I think this project contributes to QEMU as it groups and updates the
patches, making easier to test and apply them to the mainstream.

This project will be dead in the near future when these patches are
available in the mainstream QEMU.
