Fix for Bug 3671 - QEMU GDB stub listens on IPv6-only port on Windows 7 The connection string used by the GDB stub does not specify which version of the Internet Protocol should be used by the port on which it listens. On host platforms with IPv6 support, such as Windows 7, this means that the stub listens on an IPv6-only port. Since the GDB client uses IPv4, this means that the client cannot connect to QEMU.

- The PC BIOS comes from the Bochs project (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/).
  The patches in bios-pq have been applied. The binary is based on the revision
  in bios-pq/HEAD with the patches in bios-pq/series applied.  The git repo
  that HEAD refers to is located at
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/bochs/bochs.git

  To build these use the following instructions:
  using guilt:
  $ export QEMUSRC=/path/to/qemu/svn
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/bochs/bochs.git
  $ cd bochs
  $ git checkout -b qemu-bios $(cat $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios-pq/HEAD)

  $ mkdir -p .git/patches
  $ ln -s $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios-pq .git/patches/qemu-bios
  $ touch .git/patches/qemu-bios/status
  $ guilt push -a
  $ ./configure
  $ cd bios
  $ make
  $ cp BIOS-bochs-latest $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios.bin

  or alternatively (after the git checkout):
  $ for p in $(cat $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios-pq/series); do git am $p; done
  $ ./configure
  $ make bios

- The VGA BIOS and the Cirrus VGA BIOS come from the LGPL VGA bios
  project (http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/).  The binary is based on the revision
  in vgabios-pq/HEAD with the patches in vgabios-pq/series applied.  The git
  repo that HEAD refers to is located at
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/vgabios/vgabios.git

- The PowerPC Open Hack'Ware Open Firmware Compatible BIOS is
  available at http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/OpenHackWare/index.htm.

- video.x is a PowerMac NDRV compatible driver for a VGA frame
  buffer. It comes from the Mac-on-Linux project
  (http://www.maconlinux.org/).

- OpenBIOS (http://www.openbios.org/) is a free (GPL v2) portable
  firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE
  1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
  The included Sparc32 and Sparc64 images are built from SVN revision 237.

- The PXE roms come from Rom-o-Matic etherboot 5.4.2.
