JulienB: It could be interesting to look at softgun source code because they already have many i.MX21/i.MX1 devices emulated:

JulienP Yes I agree. I took a look at this project yestudray. Despite they have a few different way to manage devices than in Qemu many things could reused. For the moment I think Qemu would be better to build the base system. It could be also interesting to implement a board specification language in XML and be able to parse it in order to make the boards descriptions easier. But I don't know what's the best way to do that for now.

 * '''JulienP''' Yes I agree. I took a look at this project yestudray. Despite they have a few different way to manage devices than in Qemu many things could reused.

-* '''JulienP''' I've read several lines from different files of QEMU and at this time I think we have to take only a part of it. To be more precise QEMU is a big program from which we will only use a very little part. The aim is to reduce to its maximum the application we want to build in terms of memory space and easiness of the code maintenance. I'm seeing if we could extract just what we need from QEMU (cpu emulation + dynamic code translation) and then build a software into which we could connect other functionalities (devices emulation + board generator based on XML, ...). I would like to know now what people from Armadeus Project who are interested in this project think of that...
