[Qemu-devel] qemu's pci device emulation and dma capabilities

[Vinay Venkataraghavan]

Greetings,

I have just started to work with QEMU and had a few questions. The questions I 
have are:

1. Is it possible to extend the capability of the PCI network card emulation in 
qemu to other generic cards. The
    motivation for my question arises from the fact that I would like to 
simulate a certain piece of hardware which 
    is not available at the moment, and would thus like to get a head start on 
writing drivers for that particular
    piece of hardware.

2. Secondly, does the emulated pci devices for example the NIC that qemu allows 
the user to add, have dma
    support. 


I have scrounged the entire QEMU development mailing list and was not able to 
find information surrouding this area. I am also interested to do some work if 
need to be to add such support to qemu. Any help in this area would be greatly 
appreciated. 

Thank you.
