QEMU ppce500 board uses the old style -serial options. Other PPC boards don't give any way to explicitly wire in a -chardev except pseries which uses -device spapr-vty with -chardev. --- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c b/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c index 03d8842..1cc37ad 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c @@ -3466,13 +3466,17 @@ virQEMUCapsSupportsChardev(virDomainDefPtr def, !virQEMUCapsGet(qemuCaps, QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE)) return false; - if ((def->os.arch != VIR_ARCH_ARMV7L) && (def->os.arch != VIR_ARCH_AARCH64)) + if ((def->os.arch != VIR_ARCH_ARMV7L) && (def->os.arch != VIR_ARCH_AARCH64) + && (def->os.arch != VIR_ARCH_PPC) && (def->os.arch != VIR_ARCH_PPC64)) return true; /* This may not be true for all ARM machine types, but at least * the only supported non-virtio serial devices of vexpress and versatile - * don't have the -chardev property wired up. */ + * don't have the -chardev property wired up. + * For PPC machines, only pseries need -device spapr-vty with -chardev */ return (chr->info.type == VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_VIRTIO_MMIO || (chr->deviceType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_DEVICE_TYPE_CONSOLE && - chr->targetType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_VIRTIO)); + chr->targetType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_VIRTIO) || + (chr->deviceType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_DEVICE_TYPE_SERIAL && + chr->info.type == VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_SPAPRVIO)); } -- 1.8.5 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
