qemu-ga: skip starting on bare metal device

2026-05-23T10:23:48Z

The same firmware image may be deployed on either bare metal device or virtualized platforms (e.g., Proxmox VE). On bare metal device, `qemu-ga` may still be started even though no virtio-serial channel is available, resulting in repeated attempts to access /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0. This causes continuous service respawning by procd and unnecessary log spam. This commit adds a pre-check for /dev/virtio-ports to avoid starting `qemu-ga` when virtio-serial support is not present.

qemu: packaging target {x86_64,arm}-softmmu and friends

2016-12-12T03:32:22Z

At the moment, only build these softmmu emulators for x86_64 and sunxi target. The decision was made for the following reasons - It seems that interests of virtualization with qemu are mostly from x86, and ARM recently. - x86, sunxi boards/boxes capable of running qemu with accel=kvm are more widely available - Not all host, target combinations of qemu works, or even compiles - Extra maintenance work and server resources Test results are as the following - Nested vmx works: lede-qemu-x86_64-kvm on lede-qemu-x86_64-kvm - KVM on Cubieboard2 works - tcg with malta works: lede-qemu-malta-tcg on lede-qemu-malta-tcg. But it's too slow to be useful thus not included in this version - mips64 host does not compile Signed-off-by: Yousong Zhou
