A very rough survey:
- The main() function is in "vl.c"
- The target CPU emulation code is in the "target-xxx" directories
- The host backends for the CPU emulation is in the "tcg" directory
(TCG means Tiny Code Generator)
- Other hardware emulation can be found in the "hw" directory
- Host networking code is in the "net" folder
- Guest firmware (BIOS) code can be found in the "pc-bios" folder
That's at least the folders I have been in touch with since I started
working on QEMU. I hope that helps at least a little bit.
Thomas
