Getting Started

First Steps With SerialICE

Connect the target to your computer. Figure out the serial port that you can use to talk to it. Relative to the qemu directory in the SerialICE tree, call

 $ ./i386-softmmu/qemu -M serialice -serialice /dev/ttyUSB0 -hda /dev/zero -bios /your/bios/image > logfile.txt

This assumes that /dev/ttyUSB0 is your serial port. Replace as appropriate.

You'll get a log file that looks like this:

 SerialICE: Open connection to target hardware...
 SerialICE: Waiting for handshake with target... target alife!
