Description [edit section]

= Description =
There should be some simple instructions, and possibly some changes
to Fuego, to support testing on qemuarm out-of-the-box.

I've started a help page for this at: 
[[Using the qemuarm target]].  However there are problems:

If I try to compile hello_world for a yocto project image of 'core-image-minimal', using PLATFORM="qemu-armv7hf", then the program won't run.

That is, the shared libraries expected by hello built with qemu-armv7hf are
not in the right place.

I tried to compile hello_world using a poky sdk, but it doesn't support
static linking.  See https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/121725/

Notes [edit section]

= Notes =
virtme is a tool for executing virtual machines using qemu.

It acts as a qemu wrapper, and appears to be easy to use for x86_64 testing.
