From 2c46bc240a1ac9b99974fcd4b735a6715ce99798 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Bennée Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 18:01:14 +0000 Subject: docs: add an introduction to the system docs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Drop the frankly misleading quickstart section for a more rounded introduction section. This new section gives an overview of the accelerators as well as a high level introduction to some of the key features of the emulator. We also expand on a general form for a QEMU command line with a hopefully not too scary worked example of what this looks like.
