Note that this +supports basic features only. + +To provide a 3270 device to a guest, create a ``x-terminal3270`` linked to +a ``tn3270`` chardev. The guest will see a 3270 channel device. In order +to actually be able to use it, attach the ``x3270`` emulator to the chardev. + +Example configuration +--------------------- + +* Add a ``tn3270`` chardev and a ``x-terminal3270`` to the QEMU command line:: + + -chardev socket,id=char_0,host=0.0.0.0,port=2300,nowait,server,tn3270 + -device x-terminal3270,chardev=char_0,devno=fe.0.000a,id=terminal_0 + +* Start the guest. In the guest, use ``chccwdev -e 0.0.000a`` to enable + the device. + +* On the host, start the ``x3270`` emulator:: + + x3270 <host>:2300 + +* In the guest, locate the 3270 device node under ``/dev/3270/`` (say, + ``tty1``) and start a getty on it:: + + systemctl start serial-getty@3270-tty1.service + +This should get you an addtional tty for logging into the guest. |
