To fully deprecate the Mac-on-Linux kernel module, we'd need to get PPC32 host support too.īoot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system emulation I'm not sure this is the right place to put this. With this device set ported to Qemu, we could obsolete the Mac-on-Linux project as is and use TCG and KVM as backends.

The Mac-on-Linux project has a working paravirtual device collection, firmware and bootloader to make Mac OS X work inside Mac-on-Linux. The biggest missing part is SATA emulation (AHCI). In order to boot Mac OS X for Intel architectures an ICH-7 chipset needs to be emulated.

How they work can be investigated in Inside Macintosh documents and other emulators (MESS, BasiliskII, vMac). In order to support Macintosh system emulation, almost every device must be implemented on QEMU (SCSI, CUDA, ADB, Apple framebuffers). Goal of this project is to implement an AHCI emulation for Qemu. AHCI has one of those device interfaces and is currently not emulated by Qemu. An alternative is to implement a device emulation which fits better to virtualization needs.

Writing virtio drivers is also difficult because drivers for those Windows versions needs to be signed.


Newer Windows versions run in Qemu only with IDE emulation which is very slow. Additionally, most of them have to be converted to the QError API. Some functions don't do any error check at all, others will just abort(). Several of those handlers use functions which print data to a fixed location (say standard error) which is wrong, as the Monitor output maybe graphical for example. QEMU handlers implement Monitor commands. Improve error handling in Monitor handlers Currently it is too low-level and doesn't provide good debugging functionality. This object layer has an API, called the QObject API. user Monitor and a machine protocol), we have introduced an object layer to QEMU. In order to support different types of output (eg.
