Or is it like USB where QEMU has emulation of both controllers and devices (e.g. tablets or storage)? There are lots of different devices in QEMU; a student with good code reading abilities should be able to find what he needs, but if you are writing an entire emulation subsystem it's going to be a lot of work. > 3.

I don't know if someone is available to mentor the project, but the mailing list would surely be of help. Paolo
