A HTML version is here: http://www.weilnetz.de/qemu-doc.html http://www.weilnetz.de/qemu-tech.html Run QEMU system and user mode emulation for different targets (x86, mips, powerpc, ...). QEMU has a lot of different parts (hardware device emulation, target emulation, code generation for different hosts, configuration, ...). Choose an interesting part. Beside the mailing list, the documentation links above and perhaps the QEMU wiki, you will not find any written documentation - only the code. Be prepared that all written documentation might be invalid - either because it is too old or because it was never correct. And it is never complete... If you detect bugs in the documentation, you can fix them and send a patch to the mailing list. See http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/StartHere You can also write documentation yourself in QEMU's wiki. Perhaps it will help you and others in the future. Good luck with your project!
