vhost on macOS? #857
Description
I'm interested in using vhost peripherals (specifically GPIO) with a QEMU-based RISC-V board in a way that is cross-platform. My understanding based on trying to run QEMU with vhost-user-i2c-pci is support for vhost in QEMU (and this repo) is Linux-only. First, is that correct? Second, if so, is there any effort/discussion/plan to support vhost on macOS?
For more on my intended use case, we are developing Tock, and OS for embedded devices. While we prefer to run on physical hardware, for demos and tutorials it is helpful to be able to run on a QEMU board. We have a RISC-V QEMU based board (https://github.com/tock/tock/tree/master/boards/qemu_rv32_virt), but to make tutorials interactive we would like to add virtual LED support (via GPIOs) and potentially a virtual sensor over I2C. However, we need the tutorial to be cross-platform because different users have different machines.
Thanks for your help.
