Well, what's any of the above doing in "beaglebone-yocto" ? If it's not under: https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system/target-arm.html then QEMU doesn't support emulating the hardware, and it belongs under qemu*conf. I've not poked meta-yocto-bsp to see if other platforms are doing this. > That said, I recognise that sometimes having a quick handy hack like this to > test things is useful so I'm a little torn.

Documenting how to adjust qemuX so that it would otherwise match the tune of your board, so that you can do some limited sanity testing, would be useful, yes. What's going on here is something I find quite puzzling. -- Tom
