Title:
[Feature request] ia64-softmmu wanted
Status in HelenOS branches:
Confirmed
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
Qemu is missing support for full system emulation of the Itanium
architecture, which is one of the main non-x86 server architectures
today (despite the alleged decline in popularity). It would be really
nice if someone had interest in adding full ia64 support to Qemu. Many
OS projects could then use Qemu as the universal machine emulator for
development and testing.
Note that there is an open source Ski simulator which can emulate an
ia64 CPU, memory and a couple of Ski-specific devices, but the project
seems inactive and the simulated machine is too simplified (no real
devices, no real firmware). Moreover, it'd be better to have one tool
such as Qemu for all architectures of interest rather than one per
each architecture.
