QEMU 1.2 released

[Posted September 6, 2012 by jake]

Version 1.2 of the QEMU processor emulator has been released. "Even though this was the shortest release cycle in QEMU's history, it contains an impressive 1400 changesets from 180 unique authors." New features include support for LPAE (large physical address extensions) on the ARM Cortex A-15, a new ARM i.MX31 machine type, a way to produce ELF dumps of guest memory, support for PowerPC e5500 cores, better device tree support for PowerPC, and more. See the change log for all the details.

I was just thinking the same thing, then I remembered it was Labor Day in the US on Monday, so I expect it might be a day late ?

Exactly. We (I) forgot to add a warning to last week's edition, sorry.

I think it's i.MX31 as there is not i.MX32 from FSL.
I'm glad to see e5500 core support is added.

No problem, I fixed our version anyway ... I try to cut-n-paste such things just to avoid typos on *my* part :) -- but there's no need to keep propagating a typo ...

thanks,

I would give my left thumb for emulation of IBM pSeries (aka system p).
