[Qemu-devel] How to get started with the source code of Qemu?

[Aaron Elkins]

Hi all,

I am new to Qemu, and I’m extremely interested in understanding how the source 
code of Qemu work. But after
I downloaded the whole project, I just lost in it, the project is too large for 
me to get started.

If anyone here can point me to some useful document or some guides, to make me 
get started in understanding 
the source code?

What knowledge are required to understand the source code?

BTW, i know this project is not that simple to understand, but I would like to 
try, even I need to know a lot
of other knowledge before that, but at least let me get started.

Thanks

-Aaron
