I've been Googling around off and on for the past few days to find a way to enable Bochs individual device logging without using the interface (ie in the bochsrc file). I need to set debug=report for the CPU, and it is *very* tiring when every time I try to run a fresh build I have to go through the menu.

Thanks.

Well, your Google skills must be really poor. Googling for "site:bochs.sourceforge.com individual device logging" gets you to the Bochs manual page which says:

Bochs manual wrote:In the runtime configuration you can change the floppy/cdrom image or device, change the log options or adjust some other settings. If you have trouble with a specific device, you can change the log options for this device only to get more information (e.g. report debug messages). This cannot be done in the configuration file yet.

So you're lost.

You *could* just write a patch for Bochs that lets you do this via the config file.

jal: My Google-fu is fine, I just missed that portion of the manual.
pcmattman: Yeah, I'll probably do that.

Thanks.

Yeah, I admit I missed it the first time I read it too :). Glad to hear you've mastered the Google :).
