Qemu to have native pci access

Post by desertboy »

Hi,

With this patch, you will have (VERY EXPERIMENTAL and ONLY PRELIMINARY) support
for a REAL PCI cards from the QEMU guest OS.

This patch is for Linux OS as a host, and the kernel needs to be patched.

Read all the info at:

Patch by: Gianni Tedesco

Thanks,

Does this mean we can use REAL PowerPC upgrade cards in our x86 and access them with QEMU?

This means a smaller model for emulation as (hopefully) as much of the bare metal can be exposed as is possible. I do not know how this will work with SDL, though, as I thought it was abstracting. Doesn't that kinda conflict or am I way off base? Beyond my skills.

This means that yes one day you probably will be able to use PPC PCI upgarde cards. Not sure how useful it will be if qemu ever boots os9 it might be useful. (Can OS9 use the upgrade cards? My undersanding is the host processor still handles everything OS wise and the PPC upgrade card is used for user mode code, a bit like the emulatorsin softpear or qemu in usermode.)
