Hi, Runqemu should be able to start with a raw disk (like one created with wic). Some of the parameters runqemu is using right now, like sysroot, kernel, ip are no longer needed as they are included in the raw disk. The mechanism that handles qemu machines IPs should also be updated to allow multiple qemu machines running at the same time. $ wic create qemux86-directdisk -e core-image-minimal -o wic-img/ Checking basic build environment... Done. Creating image(s)... Info: The new image(s) can be found here: wic-img/build/qemux86-directdisk-201511131543-sda.direct The following build artifacts were used to create the image(s): ROOTFS_DIR: /media/ssd/poky-build2/tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs BOOTIMG_DIR: /media/ssd/poky-build2/tmp/sysroots/qemux86/usr/share KERNEL_DIR: /media/ssd/poky-build2/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86 NATIVE_SYSROOT: /media/ssd/poky-build2/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux
Investigation started.
Implementation started.
