This is the last post of a walkthrough of new device emulator development for QEMU which uses igb, a recently introduced Intel NIC emulation as an example.| daynix.github.io
This is the second post of a walkthrough of new device emulator development for QEMU. The first post briefly described the development process and device which we will discuss, igb, an Intel NIC. This post details the first steps of the development: filling a boilerplate and adding basic features necessary to get the device work and to establish the foundation of further development.| daynix.github.io
QEMU is a machine emulator and virtualizer; it emulates or virtualizes various devices which consist in a machine. Such emulated/virtualized devices include but are not limited to CPU, memory, storage, bus, serial console, and network interface. QEMU is under active development, and there is always demand for new device implementations. However, the journey of new device implementation is complex and not always smooth.| daynix.github.io
