Hi Douglas, I'm not terribly experienced, but here are my two cents.

First, eudyptula-boot [1], a shell script that helps you run QEMU using the same file system as your host (thanks to 9P). Second, vido [2], a similar tool implemented in Python. I prefer vido because it's easier for me to extend in Python. In both cases, you don't have to mess around with building a VM image, and for the most part filesystem access is seamless. These solutions don't bother with a dedicated init process, so some things are odd (for instance, orphaned processes that die remain zombies forever). Their minimum configuration is pretty small so rebuilding is quick and your development cycle is pretty great. > especially the driver development. You'll probably need to get into some low-level specifics for getting your devices passed through to QEMU. I have no experience here. I've not really thought of QEMU as being an excellent solution for driver development.
