Re: [Qemu-ppc] Adding canyonlands/460EX support to QEMU in qemu-system-ppc

[Allen Kneser]

Right, that is true, bad wording on my part :) I need to do this because I don't want to buy one or two more canyonlands. In my initial post, I mentioned I have a canyonlands, but I need a "virtual" one also.

Also, emulating two or more canyonlands on an actual canyonlands board would not be fast enough for my purposes, so that's why I was hoping to get the emulation running fast on x86.

Why would you want to do kernel development for the canyonlands board without having one?

QEMU will not be 100% accurate in its emulation, so it'd be a bad idea to not verify that what you did actually works on real hardware. You can also ignore any performance indications you might get out of the emulation - it's very very skewed.
