Re: basic qemu question

[David Beccue]

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Yes, the analysis is just a library without src code that I compile into my firmware that runs on a Cortex-M3.

With close to speed parity, I guess I could at least run a bunch in parallel on my multicore AMD 1700x more easily than loading the code in 16 different hardware devices.  Plus, I assume that QEMU may have a way that I can send debug output to my host machine to store in files there, yes?

The analysis library runs on the Cortex-M3?

There is a fairly big performance penalty for softmmu emulation but
given the speed of most modern PCs compared to microcontrollers you
would possibly be able to achieve parity.
