As a device-driver developer, I want vemu to model Firmware framebuffer / simplefb, so that I can build and test firmware that needs easiest early/console display on any Pi long before the hardware is in hand.

Why it matters

Easiest early/console display on any Pi

Summary

A linear RGB framebuffer the firmware allocates and Linux scans out via simplefb

Scope of work

Not present today. Deliver a behavioral model of Firmware framebuffer / simplefb. What it is: A linear RGB framebuffer the firmware allocates and Linux scans out via simplefb. Why it matters: Easiest early/console display on any Pi.
