What is git-log(1) ?

How to use git-log(1) in Qemu?

Thanks Stefan for explaining the method.

After following above method when I run below command to compile my custom device in Qemu source code , I get the output on terminal which is attached in a file for your reference.

Command:- make -j8 -C build

Most of the lines in attached file indicate that error might be due to helper.c file.

How to resolve it?

My qemu version:4.2.50

Thanks,

Priyamvad Acharya

1. Add the source file somewhere below hw/.
2. Add a make rule to build the object file in Makefile.objs in the
same directory as the source file.
3. Compile QEMU and run with -device testpci.

Reading the source code is necessary to understand how things work.
You can find many examples of devices in the hw/ directory.  Using
git-log(1) can be helpful because it shows how new devices were
introduced.
