LIN7-3959 : qemu TOPTS='-gc' only uses graphics console if TARGET_QEMU_BIN=kvm

Created: Jun 4, 2015    Updated: Sep 8, 2018
Resolved Date: Jul 12, 2015
Found In Version: 7.0.0.3
Fix Version: 7.0.0.8
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 7
Component/s: BSP, Userspace

Description

QEMU provides inconsistent behavior and a regression.  For glibc-std-sato, using kvm with qemu then the graphics console works as in wrlinux-4,5,6x.  Without kvm, then qemu 'console' behavior degrades and the target console can only be viewed via a vnc session, requiring extra steps to work on the console.

Workaround

Use vnc

Steps to Reproduce

configure for intel-x86-64 glibc-std-sato and build fs.

With kvm no regression
TARGET_QEMU_BIN=/usr/bin/kvm make start-target TOPTS="-gc"

Without kvm regression
make start-target TOPTS="-gc"
(target console gives address to use for vnc session)
