qemu-arm quick setup notes
==========================

As root;

% apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

% mkdir /srv/qemuarm

Edit via /etc/exports :

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
#               to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
/srv/qemuarm 192.168.7.2(rw,no_root_squash)

% /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

% modprobe tun

untar build/tmp/deploy/images/<built image>.rootfs.tar.bz2 into /srv/qemuarm

Move poky built qemu-system-arm into your path, i.e;

% cp ./build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/bin/qemu-system-arm /usr/local/bin

Finally, launch:

% ./qemu-nfs ../../build/tmp/deploy/images/<zimage-qemuarm>.bin

( change perms on /dev/net/tun to run as non root )


Notes
=====

 - There is a bug in qemu in that means occasionally it will use 100% cpu.
   You will need to restart it in this situation.
