@section Features
QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to
achieve good emulation speed.
QEMU has two operating modes:
@itemize @minus
@item
Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for
example a PC), including one or several processors and various
peripherals. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems
without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.
@item
User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
launch the Wine Windows API emulator (@url{http://www.winehq.org}) or
to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging.
@end itemize
QEMU can run without an host kernel driver and yet gives acceptable
performance.
For system emulation, the following hardware targets are supported:
@itemize
@item PC (x86 or x86_64 processor)
@item ISA PC (old style PC without PCI bus)
@item PREP (PowerPC processor)
@item G3 BW PowerMac (PowerPC processor)
@item Mac99 PowerMac (PowerPC processor, in progress)
@item Sun4m (32-bit Sparc processor)
@item Sun4u (64-bit Sparc processor, in progress)
@item Malta board (32-bit MIPS processor)
@item ARM Integrator/CP (ARM926E or 1026E processor)
@item ARM Versatile baseboard (ARM926E)
@end itemize
For user emulation, x86, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and Sparc32/64 CPUs are supported.

@example
qemu linux.img
@end example
Linux should boot and give you a prompt.
@node sec_invocation
@section Invocation
@example
@c man begin SYNOPSIS
usage: qemu [options] [disk_image]
@c man end
@end example
@c man begin OPTIONS
@var{disk_image} is a raw hard disk image for IDE hard disk 0.
General options:
@table @option
@item -M machine
Select the emulated machine (@code{-M ?} for list)
@item -fda file
@item -fdb file
Use @var{file} as floppy disk 0/1 image (@pxref{disk_images}). You can
use the host floppy by using @file{/dev/fd0} as filename.
@item -hda file
@item -hdb file
@item -hdc file
@item -hdd file
Use @var{file} as hard disk 0, 1, 2 or 3 image (@pxref{disk_images}).
@item -cdrom file
Use @var{file} as CD-ROM image (you cannot use @option{-hdc} and and
@option{-cdrom} at the same time). You can use the host CD-ROM by
using @file{/dev/cdrom} as filename.
@item -boot [a|c|d]
Boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d). Hard disk boot is
the default.
@item -snapshot
Write to temporary files instead of disk image files. In this case,
the raw disk image you use is not written back. You can however force
the write back by pressing @key{C-a s} (@pxref{disk_images}).
@item -no-fd-bootchk
Disable boot signature checking for floppy disks in Bochs BIOS. It may
be needed to boot from old floppy disks.
@item -m megs
Set virtual RAM size to @var{megs} megabytes. Default is 128 MB.
@item -smp n
Simulate an SMP system with @var{n} CPUs. On the PC target, up to 255
CPUs are supported.
@item -nographic
Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option,
you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple
command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on
the console. Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel
with a serial console.
@item -vnc d
Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option,
you can have QEMU listen on VNC display d and redirect the VGA display
over the VNC session. It is very useful to enable the usb tablet device
when using this option (option @option{-usbdevice tablet}).
@item -k language
Use keyboard layout @var{language} (for example @code{fr} for
French). This option is only needed where it is not easy to get raw PC
keycodes (e.g. on Macs or with some X11 servers). You don't need to
use it on PC/Linux or PC/Windows hosts.
The available layouts are:
@example
ar de-ch es fo fr-ca hu ja mk no pt-br sv
da en-gb et fr fr-ch is lt nl pl ru th
de en-us fi fr-be hr it lv nl-be pt sl tr
@end example
The default is @code{en-us}.
@item -audio-help
Will show the audio subsystem help: list of drivers, tunable
parameters.
@item -soundhw card1,card2,... or -soundhw all
Enable audio and selected sound hardware. Use ? to print all
available sound hardware.
@example
qemu -soundhw sb16,adlib hda
qemu -soundhw es1370 hda
qemu -soundhw all hda
qemu -soundhw ?
@end example
@item -localtime
Set the real time clock to local time (the default is to UTC
time). This option is needed to have correct date in MS-DOS or
Windows.
@item -full-screen
Start in full screen.
@item -pidfile file
Store the QEMU process PID in @var{file}. It is useful if you launch QEMU
from a script.
@item -win2k-hack
Use it when installing Windows 2000 to avoid a disk full bug. After
Windows 2000 is installed, you no longer need this option (this option
slows down the IDE transfers).
@end table
USB options:
@table @option
@item -usb
Enable the USB driver (will be the default soon)
@item -usbdevice devname
Add the USB device @var{devname}. @xref{usb_devices}.
@end table
Network options:
@table @option
@item -net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=addr][,model=type]
Create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN @var{n} (@var{n}
= 0 is the default). The NIC is currently an NE2000 on the PC
target. Optionally, the MAC address can be changed. If no
@option{-net} option is specified, a single NIC is created.
Qemu can emulate several different models of network card. Valid values for
@var{type} are @code{ne2k_pci}, @code{ne2k_isa}, @code{rtl8139},
@code{smc91c111} and @code{lance}. Not all devices are supported on all
targets.
@item -net user[,vlan=n][,hostname=name]
Use the user mode network stack which requires no administrator
priviledge to run. @option{hostname=name} can be used to specify the client
hostname reported by the builtin DHCP server.
@item -net tap[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file]
Connect the host TAP network interface @var{name} to VLAN @var{n} and
use the network script @var{file} to configure it. The default
network script is @file{/etc/qemu-ifup}. If @var{name} is not
provided, the OS automatically provides one. @option{fd=h} can be
used to specify the handle of an already opened host TAP interface. Example:
@example
qemu linux.img -net nic -net tap
@end example
More complicated example (two NICs, each one connected to a TAP device)
@example
qemu linux.img -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0 \
-net nic,vlan=1 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap1
@end example
@item -net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]
Connect the VLAN @var{n} to a remote VLAN in another QEMU virtual
machine using a TCP socket connection. If @option{listen} is
specified, QEMU waits for incoming connections on @var{port}
(@var{host} is optional). @option{connect} is used to connect to
another QEMU instance using the @option{listen} option. @option{fd=h}
specifies an already opened TCP socket.
Example:
@example
# launch a first QEMU instance
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-net socket,listen=:1234
# connect the VLAN 0 of this instance to the VLAN 0
# of the first instance
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
-net socket,connect=127.0.0.1:1234
@end example
@item -net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port]
Create a VLAN @var{n} shared with another QEMU virtual
machines using a UDP multicast socket, effectively making a bus for
every QEMU with same multicast address @var{maddr} and @var{port}.
NOTES:
@enumerate
@item
Several QEMU can be running on different hosts and share same bus (assuming
correct multicast setup for these hosts).
@item
mcast support is compatible with User Mode Linux (argument @option{eth@var{N}=mcast}), see
@url{http://user-mode-linux.sf.net}.
@item Use @option{fd=h} to specify an already opened UDP multicast socket.
@end enumerate
Example:
@example
# launch one QEMU instance
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
# launch another QEMU instance on same "bus"
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
-net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
# launch yet another QEMU instance on same "bus"
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
-net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
@end example
Example (User Mode Linux compat.):
@example
# launch QEMU instance (note mcast address selected
# is UML's default)
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-net socket,mcast=239.192.168.1:1102
# launch UML
/path/to/linux ubd0=/path/to/root_fs eth0=mcast
@end example
@item -net none
Indicate that no network devices should be configured. It is used to
override the default configuration (@option{-net nic -net user}) which
is activated if no @option{-net} options are provided.
@item -tftp prefix
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in TFTP
server. All filenames beginning with @var{prefix} can be downloaded
from the host to the guest using a TFTP client. The TFTP client on the
guest must be configured in binary mode (use the command @code{bin} of
the Unix TFTP client). The host IP address on the guest is as usual
10.0.2.2.
@item -smb dir
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in SMB
server so that Windows OSes can access to the host files in @file{dir}
transparently.
In the guest Windows OS, the line:
@example
10.0.2.4 smbserver
@end example
must be added in the file @file{C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS} (for windows 9x/Me)
or @file{C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\LMHOSTS} (Windows NT/2000).
Then @file{dir} can be accessed in @file{\\smbserver\qemu}.
Note that a SAMBA server must be installed on the host OS in
@file{/usr/sbin/smbd}. QEMU was tested succesfully with smbd version
2.2.7a from the Red Hat 9 and version 3.0.10-1.fc3 from Fedora Core 3.
@item -redir [tcp|udp]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-port
When using the user mode network stack, redirect incoming TCP or UDP
connections to the host port @var{host-port} to the guest
@var{guest-host} on guest port @var{guest-port}. If @var{guest-host}
is not specified, its value is 10.0.2.15 (default address given by the
built-in DHCP server).
For example, to redirect host X11 connection from screen 1 to guest
screen 0, use the following:
@example
# on the host
qemu -redir tcp:6001::6000 [...]
# this host xterm should open in the guest X11 server
xterm -display :1
@end example
To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet port on
the guest, use the following:
@example
# on the host
qemu -redir tcp:5555::23 [...]
telnet localhost 5555
@end example
Then when you use on the host @code{telnet localhost 5555}, you
connect to the guest telnet server.
@end table
Linux boot specific: When using these options, you can use a given
Linux kernel without installing it in the disk image. It can be useful
for easier testing of various kernels.
@table @option
@item -kernel bzImage
Use @var{bzImage} as kernel image.
@item -append cmdline
Use @var{cmdline} as kernel command line
@item -initrd file
Use @var{file} as initial ram disk.
@end table
Debug/Expert options:
@table @option
@item -serial dev
Redirect the virtual serial port to host device @var{dev}. Available
devices are:
@table @code
@item vc
Virtual console
@item pty
[Linux only] Pseudo TTY (a new PTY is automatically allocated)
@item null
void device
@item /dev/XXX
[Linux only] Use host tty, e.g. @file{/dev/ttyS0}. The host serial port
parameters are set according to the emulated ones.
@item /dev/parportN
[Linux only, parallel port only] Use host parallel port
@var{N}. Currently only SPP parallel port features can be used.
@item file:filename
Write output to filename. No character can be read.
@item stdio
[Unix only] standard input/output
@item pipe:filename
[Unix only] name pipe @var{filename}
@end table
The default device is @code{vc} in graphical mode and @code{stdio} in
non graphical mode.
This option can be used several times to simulate up to 4 serials
ports.
@item -parallel dev
Redirect the virtual parallel port to host device @var{dev} (same
devices as the serial port). On Linux hosts, @file{/dev/parportN} can
be used to use hardware devices connected on the corresponding host
parallel port.
This option can be used several times to simulate up to 3 parallel
ports.
@item -monitor dev
Redirect the monitor to host device @var{dev} (same devices as the
serial port).
The default device is @code{vc} in graphical mode and @code{stdio} in
non graphical mode.
@item -s
Wait gdb connection to port 1234 (@pxref{gdb_usage}).
@item -p port
Change gdb connection port.

The monitor understands integers expressions for every integer
argument. You can use register names to get the value of specifics
CPU registers by prefixing them with @emph{$}.
@node disk_images
@section Disk Images
Since version 0.6.1, QEMU supports many disk image formats, including
growable disk images (their size increase as non empty sectors are
written), compressed and encrypted disk images.
@menu
* disk_images_quickstart:: Quick start for disk image creation
* disk_images_snapshot_mode:: Snapshot mode
* qemu_img_invocation:: qemu-img Invocation
* disk_images_fat_images:: Virtual FAT disk images
@end menu
@node disk_images_quickstart
@subsection Quick start for disk image creation
You can create a disk image with the command:
@example
qemu-img create myimage.img mysize
@end example
where @var{myimage.img} is the disk image filename and @var{mysize} is its
size in kilobytes. You can add an @code{M} suffix to give the size in
megabytes and a @code{G} suffix for gigabytes.
See @ref{qemu_img_invocation} for more information.
@node disk_images_snapshot_mode
@subsection Snapshot mode
If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are
considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in
a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the
write back to the raw disk images by using the @code{commit} monitor
command (or @key{C-a s} in the serial console).
@node qemu_img_invocation
@subsection @code{qemu-img} Invocation
@include qemu-img.texi
@node disk_images_fat_images
@subsection Virtual FAT disk images
QEMU can automatically create a virtual FAT disk image from a
directory tree. In order to use it, just type:
@example
qemu linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
@end example
Then you access access to all the files in the @file{/my_directory}
directory without having to copy them in a disk image or to export
them via SAMBA or NFS. The default access is @emph{read-only}.
Floppies can be emulated with the @code{:floppy:} option:
@example
qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory
@end example
A read/write support is available for testing (beta stage) with the
@code{:rw:} option:
@example
qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory
@end example
What you should @emph{never} do:
@itemize
@item use non-ASCII filenames ;
@item use "-snapshot" together with ":rw:" ;
@item expect it to work when loadvm'ing ;
@item write to the FAT directory on the host system while accessing it with the guest system.
@end itemize
@node pcsys_network
@section Network emulation
QEMU can simulate several networks cards (NE2000 boards on the PC
target) and can connect them to an arbitrary number of Virtual Local
Area Networks (VLANs). Host TAP devices can be connected to any QEMU
VLAN. VLAN can be connected between separate instances of QEMU to
simulate large networks. For simpler usage, a non priviledged user mode
network stack can replace the TAP device to have a basic network
connection.
@subsection VLANs
QEMU simulates several VLANs. A VLAN can be symbolised as a virtual
connection between several network devices. These devices can be for
example QEMU virtual Ethernet cards or virtual Host ethernet devices
(TAP devices).
@subsection Using TAP network interfaces
This is the standard way to connect QEMU to a real network. QEMU adds
a virtual network device on your host (called @code{tapN}), and you
can then configure it as if it was a real ethernet card.
As an example, you can download the @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz}
archive and copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and
configure properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig}
contained in @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify
that your host kernel supports the TAP network interfaces: the
device @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present.
See @ref{direct_linux_boot} to have an example of network use with a
Linux distribution and @ref{sec_invocation} to have examples of
command lines using the TAP network interfaces.
@subsection Using the user mode network stack
By using the option @option{-net user} (default configuration if no
@option{-net} option is specified), QEMU uses a completely user mode
network stack (you don't need root priviledge to use the virtual
network). The virtual network configuration is the following:
@example
QEMU VLAN <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet
| (10.0.2.2)
|
----> DNS server (10.0.2.3)
|
----> SMB server (10.0.2.4)
@end example
The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all
incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically
configure the network in the QEMU VM. The DHCP server assign addresses
to the hosts starting from 10.0.2.15.
In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping
the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range
10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server.
Note that @code{ping} is not supported reliably to the internet as it
would require root priviledges. It means you can only ping the local
router (10.0.2.2).
When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the TFTP
server.
When using the @option{-redir} option, TCP or UDP connections can be
redirected from the host to the guest. It allows for example to
redirect X11, telnet or SSH connections.
@subsection Connecting VLANs between QEMU instances
Using the @option{-net socket} option, it is possible to make VLANs
that span several QEMU instances. See @ref{sec_invocation} to have a
basic example.
@node direct_linux_boot
@section Direct Linux Boot
This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without
having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux
kernel testing. The QEMU network configuration is also explained.
@enumerate
@item
Download the archive @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} containing a Linux
kernel and a disk image.
@item Optional: If you want network support (for example to launch X11 examples), you
must copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and configure
properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} contained in
@file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify that your host
kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the device
@file{/dev/net/tun} must be present.
When network is enabled, there is a virtual network connection between
the host kernel and the emulated kernel. The emulated kernel is seen
from the host kernel at IP address 172.20.0.2 and the host kernel is
seen from the emulated kernel at IP address 172.20.0.1.
@item Launch @code{qemu.sh}. You should have the following output:

NOTES:
@enumerate
@item
A 2.5.74 kernel is also included in the archive. Just
replace the bzImage in qemu.sh to try it.
@item
In order to exit cleanly from qemu, you can do a @emph{shutdown} inside
qemu. qemu will automatically exit when the Linux shutdown is done.
@item
You can boot slightly faster by disabling the probe of non present IDE
interfaces. To do so, add the following options on the kernel command
line:
@example
ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe ide4=noprobe ide5=noprobe

@node pcsys_usb
@section USB emulation
QEMU emulates a PCI UHCI USB controller. You can virtually plug
virtual USB devices or real host USB devices (experimental, works only
on Linux hosts). Qemu will automatically create and connect virtual USB hubs
as neccessary to connect multiple USB devices.
@menu

@end menu
@node usb_devices
@subsection Connecting USB devices
USB devices can be connected with the @option{-usbdevice} commandline option
or the @code{usb_add} monitor command. Available devices are:
@table @var
@item @code{mouse}
Virtual Mouse. This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
@item @code{tablet}
Pointer device that uses abolsute coordinates (like a touchscreen).
This means qemu is able to report the mouse position without having
to grab the mouse. Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
@item @code{disk:file}
Mass storage device based on @var{file} (@pxref{disk_images})
@item @code{host:bus.addr}
Pass through the host device identified by @var{bus.addr}
(Linux only)
@item @code{host:vendor_id:product_id}
Pass through the host device identified by @var{vendor_id:product_id}
(Linux only)
@end table
@node host_usb_devices
@subsection Using host USB devices on a Linux host
WARNING: this is an experimental feature. QEMU will slow down when
using it. USB devices requiring real time streaming (i.e. USB Video
Cameras) are not supported yet.
@enumerate
@item If you use an early Linux 2.4 kernel, verify that no Linux driver
is actually using the USB device. A simple way to do that is simply to
disable the corresponding kernel module by renaming it from @file{mydriver.o}
to @file{mydriver.o.disabled}.
@item Verify that @file{/proc/bus/usb} is working (most Linux distributions should enable it by default). You should see something like that:
@example
ls /proc/bus/usb
001 devices drivers
@end example
@item Since only root can access to the USB devices directly, you can either launch QEMU as root or change the permissions of the USB devices you want to use. For testing, the following suffices:
@example
chown -R myuid /proc/bus/usb
@end example
@item Launch QEMU and do in the monitor:
@example
info usbhost
Device 1.2, speed 480 Mb/s
Class 00: USB device 1234:5678, USB DISK
@end example
You should see the list of the devices you can use (Never try to use
hubs, it won't work).
@item Add the device in QEMU by using:
@example
usb_add host:1234:5678
@end example
Normally the guest OS should report that a new USB device is
plugged. You can use the option @option{-usbdevice} to do the same.
@item Now you can try to use the host USB device in QEMU.
@end enumerate
When relaunching QEMU, you may have to unplug and plug again the USB
device to make it work again (this is a bug).
@node gdb_usage
@section GDB usage
QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do
'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state.
In order to use gdb, launch qemu with the '-s' option. It will wait for a
gdb connection:
@example
> qemu -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \
-append "root=/dev/hda"
Connected to host network interface: tun0
Waiting gdb connection on port 1234
@end example
Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable:
@example
> gdb vmlinux
@end example
In gdb, connect to QEMU:
@example
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
@end example
Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel:
@example
(gdb) c
@end example
Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code:
@enumerate
@item
Use @code{info reg} to display all the CPU registers.
@item
Use @code{x/10i $eip} to display the code at the PC position.
@item
Use @code{set architecture i8086} to dump 16 bit code. Then use
@code{x/10i $cs*16+$eip} to dump the code at the PC position.
@end enumerate
@node pcsys_os_specific
@section Target OS specific information
@subsection Linux
To have access to SVGA graphic modes under X11, use the @code{vesa} or
the @code{cirrus} X11 driver. For optimal performances, use 16 bit
color depth in the guest and the host OS.
When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, you should add the option
@code{clock=pit} on the kernel command line because the 2.6 Linux
kernels make very strict real time clock checks by default that QEMU
cannot simulate exactly.
When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, verify that the 4G/4G patch is
not activated because QEMU is slower with this patch. The QEMU
Accelerator Module is also much slower in this case. Earlier Fedora
Core 3 Linux kernel (< 2.6.9-1.724_FC3) were known to incorporte this
patch by default. Newer kernels don't have it.
@subsection Windows
If you have a slow host, using Windows 95 is better as it gives the
best speed. Windows 2000 is also a good choice.
@subsubsection SVGA graphic modes support
QEMU emulates a Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video
card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize
and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color
depth in the guest and the host OS.
@subsubsection CPU usage reduction
Windows 9x does not correctly use the CPU HLT
instruction. The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when
idle. You can install the utility from
@url{http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip} to solve this
problem. Note that no such tool is needed for NT, 2000 or XP.
@subsubsection Windows 2000 disk full problem
Windows 2000 has a bug which gives a disk full problem during its
installation. When installing it, use the @option{-win2k-hack} QEMU
option to enable a specific workaround. After Windows 2000 is
installed, you no longer need this option (this option slows down the
IDE transfers).
@subsubsection Windows 2000 shutdown
Windows 2000 cannot automatically shutdown in QEMU although Windows 98
can. It comes from the fact that Windows 2000 does not automatically
use the APM driver provided by the BIOS.
In order to correct that, do the following (thanks to Struan
Bartlett): go to the Control Panel => Add/Remove Hardware & Next =>
Add/Troubleshoot a device => Add a new device & Next => No, select the
hardware from a list & Next => NT Apm/Legacy Support & Next => Next
(again) a few times. Now the driver is installed and Windows 2000 now
correctly instructs QEMU to shutdown at the appropriate moment.
@subsubsection Share a directory between Unix and Windows
See @ref{sec_invocation} about the help of the option @option{-smb}.
@subsubsection Windows XP security problems
Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security
error when booting:
@example
A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the
license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6.
@end example
The only known workaround is to boot in Safe mode
without networking support.
Future QEMU releases are likely to correct this bug.
@subsection MS-DOS and FreeDOS
@subsubsection CPU usage reduction
DOS does not correctly use the CPU HLT instruction. The result is that
it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility
from @url{http://www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip} to solve this
problem.

@node Quick Start
@section Quick Start
In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable
itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it.
@itemize
@item On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native
libraries:
@example
qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls
@end example
@code{-L /} tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a
@file{/} prefix.
@item Since QEMU is also a linux process, you can launch qemu with qemu (NOTE: you can only do that if you compiled QEMU from the sources):
@example
qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls
@end example
@item On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
(@file{qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). Ensure that
@code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} is not set:
@example
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
@end example
Then you can launch the precompiled @file{ls} x86 executable:
@example
qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls
@end example
You can look at @file{qemu-binfmt-conf.sh} so that
QEMU is automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to
launch x86 executables. It requires the @code{binfmt_misc} module in the
Linux kernel.
@item The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things such as:
@example
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 \
/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
@end example
@end itemize
@node Wine launch
@section Wine launch
@itemize
@item Ensure that you have a working QEMU with the x86 glibc
distribution (see previous section). In order to verify it, you must be
able to do:
@example
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
@end example
@item Download the binary x86 Wine install
(@file{qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page).
@item Configure Wine on your account. Look at the provided script
@file{/usr/local/qemu-i386/@/bin/wine-conf.sh}. Your previous
@code{$@{HOME@}/.wine} directory is saved to @code{$@{HOME@}/.wine.org}.
@item Then you can try the example @file{putty.exe}:
@example

@command{qemu-arm} is also capable of running ARM "Angel" semihosted ELF
binaries (as implemented by the arm-elf and arm-eabi Newlib/GDB
configurations), and arm-uclinux bFLT format binaries.
The binary format is detected automatically.

@section Linux/Unix
@subsection Compilation
First you must decompress the sources:
@example
cd /tmp
tar zxvf qemu-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd qemu-x.y.z
@end example
Then you configure QEMU and build it (usually no options are needed):
@example
./configure
make
@end example
Then type as root user:
@example
make install
@end example
to install QEMU in @file{/usr/local}.
@subsection Tested tool versions
In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
version work.
@example
host gcc binutils glibc linux distribution
----------------------------------------------------------------------
x86 3.2 2.13.2 2.1.3 2.4.18
2.96 2.11.93.0.2 2.2.5 2.4.18 Red Hat 7.3
3.2.2 2.13.90.0.18 2.3.2 2.4.20 Red Hat 9
PowerPC 3.3 [4] 2.13.90.0.18 2.3.1 2.4.20briq

Alpha 3.3 [1] 2.14.90.0.4 2.2.5 2.2.20 [2] Debian 3.0
Sparc32 2.95.4 2.12.90.0.1 2.2.5 2.4.18 Debian 3.0
ARM 2.95.4 2.12.90.0.1 2.2.5 2.4.9 [3] Debian 3.0
[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
for gcc version >= 3.3.
[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support
(untested).
[3] 2.4.9-ac10-rmk2-np1-cerf2
[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.

@node Windows
@section Windows
@itemize
@item Install the current versions of MSYS and MinGW from
@url{http://www.mingw.org/}. You can find detailed installation
instructions in the download section and the FAQ.
@item Download
the MinGW development library of SDL 1.2.x
(@file{SDL-devel-1.2.x-@/mingw32.tar.gz}) from
@url{http://www.libsdl.org}. Unpack it in a temporary place, and
unpack the archive @file{i386-mingw32msvc.tar.gz} in the MinGW tool
directory. Edit the @file{sdl-config} script so that it gives the
correct SDL directory when invoked.
@item Extract the current version of QEMU.
@item Start the MSYS shell (file @file{msys.bat}).
@item Change to the QEMU directory. Launch @file{./configure} and
@file{make}. If you have problems using SDL, verify that
@file{sdl-config} can be launched from the MSYS command line.
@item You can install QEMU in @file{Program Files/Qemu} by typing
@file{make install}. Don't forget to copy @file{SDL.dll} in
@file{Program Files/Qemu}.
@end itemize
@node Cross compilation for Windows with Linux
@section Cross compilation for Windows with Linux
@itemize
@item
Install the MinGW cross compilation tools available at
@url{http://www.mingw.org/}.
@item
Install the Win32 version of SDL (@url{http://www.libsdl.org}) by
unpacking @file{i386-mingw32msvc.tar.gz}. Set up the PATH environment
variable so that @file{i386-mingw32msvc-sdl-config} can be launched by
the QEMU configuration script.
@item
Configure QEMU for Windows cross compilation:
@example
./configure --enable-mingw32
@end example
If necessary, you can change the cross-prefix according to the prefix
choosen for the MinGW tools with --cross-prefix. You can also use
--prefix to set the Win32 install path.
@item You can install QEMU in the installation directory by typing
@file{make install}. Don't forget to copy @file{SDL.dll} in the
installation directory.
@end itemize
Note: Currently, Wine does not seem able to launch
QEMU for Win32.
@node Mac OS X
@section Mac OS X
The Mac OS X patches are not fully merged in QEMU, so you should look
at the QEMU mailing list archive to have all the necessary
information.
