[clug-talk] Emuators/VM's

[TekBudda]

We are looking for a more effective way of testing images before
deploying them out in to the world & besides imaging the actual
hardware, I am not sure if ther is anyway to do this.

I had suggested VM's to people but that will only let you emulate
ertain types of hardware IIR.  I then had the thought of using an
emulator...similar to products out there for WIndows Mobile for
example, where you can test your app on a software mockup of that
device.  I hope I am explaining that right?

So apart from that can any suggest anything else or maybe where mght
find emulators of that ilk.  I have though of the obvious bit of
actually contacting the manufacturers, but I amnot even sure they have
anything like that.
