Description-en: QEMU full system emulation binaries (common files)
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports
ARM, CRIS, i386, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, SH4,
SPARC and x86-64 emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves
reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.
.
This package provides common files needed for target-specific
full system emulation (qemu-system-*) packages.
