A nice feature would be to allow the host to communicate with nolo
running inside qemu (e.g. through a TCP server or something), then
modify the free 0xFFFF flasher (http://nopcode.org/0xFFFF/) to be able
to communicate with this server. In practice, this would allow to
"flash" the emulated device like we do for the real hardware.
Is that feasible?
