Re: Is STM32f429 discovery board fully supported on qemu?

use case for supporting it in QEMU. Random development boards that may have a very limited use case is less compelling.

Re: Qemu TCG Plugins - how to access guest registers?

merate this is to chew through a bunch of XML that each target generates (see gdb_register_coprocessor). I'm not keen on exposing that pile of XML via the register interface. Maybe there is scope to improve our internal APIs so the enumeration of registers can be handled by helpers that record mappings and ids and generate the XML for the gdbstub centrally?
