Hi,
I am beginning to get into the virtualization realm, and had a few questions, some regarding the process of learning the development, and some regarding the capabilities of me and qemu.
I would love to get any resources you might think are relevant to get into developing in qemu. Currently, I am reading the developers guide in the qemu wiki. if you have any other resource it is welcomed, and also if you think I should make a certain project of development inside qemu to understand it I am happy to hear about it
Now to the technical questions,
One of the reasons I am getting into qemu and virtualization, is to emulate an IMX8 processor. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I have seen, the IMX8 family is not officially supported.
I thought about the available ways for me to still manage to do it.
First, is off course just implement the whole emulation of the processor, as someone that is a beginner in this field, I would love to hear fro, you what do you think about it, How much work does it actually entail, and what it includes (learning the imx8 datasheet for example)
Secondly, which is quite similar, I thought about that the IMX7 family is supported in qemu, and so, the individual cortex cores are supported. From what I know, the IMX8 family is built from similar cores, is it possible to take the cores and assemble a IMX8 processor?
Third, any other way that you think is feasible to get what I need.
Thanks, Ido
