About this project

QEMU is a multi-platform Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) and emulator. We believe it is a key tool for open source projects who want to develop for the ARM ecosystem and experiment with the latest features. The QEMU team within Linaro are responsible for maintaining many parts of the project including ARM specific code, the core translation engine, developer features and parts of the testing automation and CI loop. Our primary goals are:

• Ensure an active and well maintained upstream project

• Upstream useful architectural features

• Support it as a software reference platforms for a number of projects

• Improve the developer experience of using QEMU

As we have expertise in JITs and code generation we also have interests in other tools such as Valgrind and what would be needed to enhance them to support developments in the architecture.
