An emulator is a device, computer program, or system that accepts the same inputs and produces the same outputs of another device, computer program or system.
Emulators are available for everything from running Windows on the Mac OS to running Game Boy games on PS3s. In the context of kernel development however we want a generic emulator which emulates the environment you would like your kernel to run in.
Emulation Packages
QEMU
Available for Linux and Windows (the latter as 'kqemu').
Qemu is operated from the command line with the parameters used to specify the hardware environment of the system and also to link to the image which holds your kernel binary.
To link to a floppy image, a simple argument is:
qemu -fda floppy.img
You can use Ctrl+Alt to release the cursor (while captured). You can use Ctrl+Alt+F to toggle fullscreen.
There are further parameters available for use:
|
HDD Image/Device path |
|
|
CD Image/Device path |
|
|
Boot Device x(if not default) |
|
|
(x)MB RAM |
|
|
Localized Time |
|
|
USB Support |

|
