Hi everyone I looked at the code (vl.c) and I don't know if I am missing something, but as far as I can see unless the parameter passed to -parallel is either "vc" "null" "pty" or "stdio" the function qemu_chr_open function that is called returns null, which sets parallel_hds[0] to null, which in turn causes the error message "qemu: could not open parallel device" to print and exit the program.
