It's nice to hear from you.
You as well!
Let me know if you need more information. (I see CodeSourcery copyright notices in a lot of qemu code so you all probably know a lot more about this stuff than I do, but I'm more than willing to help where I can.)
I have never worked on QEMU, so, from a technical perspective, I don't know a lot. But, as a company, we've done a lot -- for example, the ARMv6 and ARMv7 support comes from CodeSourcery, and from Paul Brook in particular. I know that we did provide a version of QEMU that would boot standard Linux kernel images from linux.on-arm.com, and that building out more support for more virtual boards is definitely something we're capable of doing. As you suggest, we use QEMU internally for testing, in addition to physical hardware.
I will forward your email to Andrew and Julian, who are our initial Linaro people. We are working now on defining a workplan for the rest of the year, and I thinking putting some QEMU activity on that would likely make a lot of sense.
Thanks!
