I run QEMU on Linux. The console offered by QEMU works fine for simple text (like in RTEMS tests), but the cursor movement commands are not interpreted. - They are just printed.  :-)

We have a workaround now: Build with the "unix" RTEMS BSP and debug with qtcreator. qtcreator can redirect the console to an xterm-like window that does emulate VT100.
