The current version is based on:
- QEMU version 2.8.0, commit 0737f32 from Dec 20th, 2016
Changes
Compared to the master qemu-system-arm
, the changes are major, all
application class Arm
devices were removed and replaced by several Cortex-M devices.

Bug fixes
- [#70] due to a bug
in the Windows specific part, in certain conditions, starting QEMU in
non-graphic mode affected the GDB server functionality; thanks to a
contribution by GitHub user
@zaq32
[#71] the bug was fixed.
Known problems
- Ctrl-C does not interrupt the execution if the
--nographic
option is used.
Documentation
The original documentation is available in the share/doc
folder.
Supported platforms
Binaries for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux are provided.
The binaries were built using the xPack Build Box (XBB), a set of build environments based on slightly older distributions, that should be compatible with most recent systems.
- GNU/Linux: all binaries were built with GCC 7.4, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
- Windows: all binaries were built with mingw-w64 GCC 7.4, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
- macOS: most binaries were built with GCC 7.4, running in a separate folder on macOS 10.10.5; GDB cannot be compiled with GCC, so Apple clang was used.
Tests
The binaries were testes on Windows 10 Pro 32/64-bit, Ubuntu 18 LTS 64-bit, Xubuntu 18 LTS 32-bit and macOS 10.13.
The tests consist in running a simple blinky application on the graphically emulated STM32F4DISCOVERY board. The binaries were those generated by the simple Eclipse projects available in the xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC project.
