The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of Linaro QEMU 2011.09.

Linaro QEMU 2011.09 is the latest monthly release of qemu-linaro. Based off upstream (trunk) QEMU, it includes a number of ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.

New in this month's release: - linux-user mode now supports the 64 bit cmpxchg kernel helpers (only needed for applications compiled for ARMv6 or lower) - PL111 display controller now supported; this fixes a problem where BGR was interpreted as RGB on recent versatilepb kernels Plus a few other minor bug fixes and the usual round of upstream fixes and improvements.

Known issues: - The beagle and beaglexm models still do not support USB networking; we intend to fix this for the 2011.10 release - There may be some problems with running multithreaded programs in linux-user mode (LP:823902)
