Cross Compiler Toolchain – how to build from scratch
What is a Cross Compiler Compilation is the process of generating machine code to be executed on a processor. Typically, we compile and execute code on the same machine. However, this is not the case in some instances, especially for embedded systems where the target system (e.g. Arduino) is not
My first open source contribution to QEMU
I am glad to step into the open source community with my first contribution to QEMU. For my introduction to and understanding so far about the open source community, click here. What is QEMU QEMU is an open source machine emulator, allowing users to specify a range of properties to
