Speeding Up Product Development through Emulation – QEMU
In this chapter, we explore the possibilities of shortening product development through emulation and reducing the dependency on real hardware for most development. You will come to understand the benefits of using QEMU over hardware and when choosing real hardware is preferable. We also describe the runqemu capabilities and demonstrate some use cases.
