The real hardware ( xlnx-zcu102 ) is being used for our software. The software is in the development phase, and for that, I need to create a VM for simulation purposes. Qemu has a machine type (-M xlnx-zcu102) which is supported with the board/hardware.
I have two more images for the same hardware and I can create a VM using these two images, but in the VM some basic binaries are missing like mkdir and virtual disk etc. Now, the image for which I want to create a VM is currently working on board and everything is working fine on real hardware. I am not sure whether I can use this image for Qemu because this is created particularly for hardware. and giving a try to create a VM. Your valuable suggestions in this regard will be appreciated and mean a lot to me :) br!
