Get the output of a program in a file using QEmu

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your tips, I tried it as steps below, it still does not work.

1.  ../rtems/configure USE_COM1_AS_CONSOLE=1 BSP_PRESS_KEY_FOR_RESET=0
--target=i386-rtems4.9 --enable-rtemsbsp=pc586 --disable-posix
--disable-itron --enable-tests=samples
2. make clean
3. make
4. make install

Then I run it my qemu:

/usr/bin/qemu -monitor null -nographic -serial file:qemu.log -boot a -m 128
-fda '/home/zengreng/rtems-boot.img' -hda
'fat:/home/zengreng/workspace/rtems_tools/src/generated/'  --no-reboot

The program to run is managed by Makefile I drafted, not automake, I
attached it to see whether that is the cause things do not work, shall I add
something like "USE_COM1_AS_CONSOLE" into it as well?


Thanks again,
Alan
