It is possible to emulate qMp with Virtual Box.

To make the things easy it is better to add

First of all we create a virtual tun/tap device in the host machine.

ip tuntap add mode tap dev vbox

ip link set vbox up

ip addr add 172.30.22.10/24 dev vbox

In VB machine configuration at least one network interface must be added.
19 1 Pau Escrich
It should be configured as bridged interface to our new "vbox" network device.
20
The driver "PCnet-PCI II" works fine.

h3. Serial
24 3 Pau Escrich
25
A serial port is needed because OpenWRT expects it. So it should be added in the VB machine configuration.
26
27
It is possible to use it to connect with the qMp node from the host machine (useful for debug), but it is NOT NEEDED.
28
To do so you should configure the VB serial as host pipe.
29 4 Pau Escrich
Check the option "create pipe" and add the path "/tmp/vboxS0".
30 3 Pau Escrich
Then in the host machine execute:
31
<pre>
32
socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/vboxS0 TCP-LISTEN:7777 &
33
netcat localhost 7777
34
</pre>
35
36
And you will get serial!
