<div>>Davide is the one that set that up and could probably provide more details, but qemu docs might be good enough that you can set things up without much effort </div>

<div>By the way, yesterday I configured "smallest possible kernel", linked it with BFD and launched under QEMU.<br>
</div>
<div>It is very small and takes a few seconds to build it from scratch for me, used next article:<br>

<div>Now I am going to link it with LLD and check if it boots or now. </div>
<div>I think that should be fastest way - boot that little core and then enable features<br>
</div>
<div>one by one or group by group and fix other things on the road.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Previously I also worked on a patches for kernel but did not try to minimize it and used some default configuration,<br>
</div>
<div>what probably was good for finding mutliple issues from all sides, but not ideal way to fix/test startup and things.<br>
