QEMU 7.0 Released With Intel AMX Support, Many RISC-V Additions

[Quackdoc]

- QEMU 7.0 drops support for old PowerPC 401 / 403 / 601 / 602 CPUs.

- Dropping of Armv4 and Armv5 from the Tiny Code Generator (TCG).

Or what did you mean?

for the power PC stuff, all of the removed CPUs full functionality is kept from their later targets (IE. 604 cpu is fully compatible with 601) (same with 401 and 405 I believe might be wrong on this one though) so it's just bloat, literally nothing as lost.

and as for the Armv4 it's removing support from the backend, meaning qemu TCG will no longer work on Armv4 hosts, not that Armv4 will no longer work inside of qemu.

My setup is extra special (AMD decided to change something in their windows driver 4 years ago and since then I need to manually design the PCIe layout) I have no hopes of ever getting a GUI that supports this kind of fuckery. Took me a day testing, searching the net and reading man pages. ^_^ It's my hobby and I learned alot.

lol, I would certainly love too see what a gui that would support functionality like this would look like, it would be a mess to say the least LOL

And whats the use of emulating another arch on an arm4 device anyways? It most likely doesn't have enogh ram and it certainly would be slow as hell.

I don't even think it worked right lol

Does the D-Bus Display support hardware acceleration?

All of this is great but is setting up cut copy and paste .. and drag and drop easy now?

Virt-manager/libvirt doesn't seem to work for me with anything other than x86 guests - PowerPC at least definitely doesn't work because libvirt doesn't think IDE controllers are supported - but they're required for PowerPC macs.

Bear in mind this is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS base, so it may have improved since

libvirt is designed for server computing environments. I wouldn't be surprised of cross arch emulation would not get work done it. or even same arch on PPC I doubt has a lot of work done, but libvirt should work. though good chance virtmanager didn't have write stuff wired up

I found a long fixed bug report from 6 years ago, talking about no IDE for PPC: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1136182
But hard to believe that would still be present in 20.04.
Maybe you can check with a newer PPA version if the problem got fixed. Else a bug report might help.
