[Qemu-devel] QEMU Roadmap for 2009 -- Status

[Prince Riley]

Greetings

I am writing to ask if anyone can respond to this post with a summary of the current efforts underway to work on the points mentioned in the lst below for the x86 and ARM processor platforms.

Is there a development/release roadmap for adding these features ? I am interested in the work toward adding support for the ARM9 processor. 

Thanks

Prince Riley

1.2 x86 emulation

Current QEMU limitations:

• No SSE/MMX support (yet).
• No x86-64 support.
• IPC syscalls are missing.
• The x86 segment limits and access rights are not tested at every memory access (yet). Hopefully, very few OSes seem to rely on that for normal use.
• On non x86 host CPUs, doubles are used instead of the non standard 10 byte long doubles of x86 for floating point emulation to get maximum performances.

1.3 ARM emulation

• Full ARM 7 user emulation.
• NWFPE FPU support included in user Linux emulation.
• Can run most ARM Linux binaries.
