Andr?, All,
On 2016-02-19 23:53 +0100, Andr? Hentschel spake thusly:

$ make list-defconfigs |grep x86
qemu_x86_64_defconfig - Build for qemu_x86_64
qemu_x86_defconfig - Build for qemu_x86
So I'd suggest you use qemu for that.

No, we don't have a defconfig for a traditional PC.

I'm not sure the legacy driver has the same "layout" (in terms of
buildsystem) as the current driver, so I would not bet on it...
However, if as I suggested above, you were to use qemu, you would not
need to setup a bootloader. You can tell qemu to directly boot a kernel,
see:
board/qemu/x86/readme.txt
As for the video driver, qemu does not (yet!) provide a 3D-accelerated
graphics card, but you can use mesa3d for SW OpenGL if you need that.
I guess using qemu will be more efficient than using a real PC, at least
as long as you're not looking at performance, and especially graphics
performance.
Well, at least, that's what I would be doing. ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
