FVP that i trigger remotely, qemu locally or remotely, real targets depends on
what
i have available.
But while on the go, developing and testing compilation locally without even
testing
on target so that i can later trigger on target is definitely very useful.
Want some tips on how to develop while on Mac OS ?
Cheers
