Updated the README.txt - includes instructions on downloading ready-to-use QEMU binaries
This is repo contains the following;
baseport/
The baseport (BSP) needed to run Symbian OS in QEMU
docs/
Various documentation about the baseport, peripherals and how to use QEMU.
The wiki folders contains a dump from Wiki documentation, this the unfortunate .doc format.
symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/
A version of QEMU with some extra features not yet available in the QEMU mainline.
A corresponding set of Windows binaries is available from the Symbian Foundation
wiki: see http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/SYBORG/QEMU
Some notes;
* The source layout for baseport now matches the Symbian Foundation layout, and
will compile correctly if this repository is unpacked to /sf/os/QEMU. Eventually
the baseport could move into the kernelhwsrv or boardsupport packages, but that
would imply changing AsspNKernIncludePath in baseport/syborg/variant.mmh
* Even though a version of QEMU is supplied, the TOT version of QEMU should be usable
(but you will have to build it yourself). The QEMU version is supplied here to
share some the extra features not yet available in mainline QEMU. Most noticeable
the support for Python peripherals (and binary separation of QEMU and its peripheral)
and the skinning support to supply a landing zone for phone specific buttons etc.
* Throughout the documentation the SVP is referenced. SVP stands for the
"Symbian Virtual Platform" and this was the proposed product name of the
QEMU based simulator. For the purpose of this document treat the SVP as
QEMU with the syborg board models.
