Loading comments Whether or not Microsoft and Qualcomm can find a way around this threatening patent issue remains to be seen. From what we know about the emulation strategy so far, the core operating system is running on pure ARM code, so there are unlikely to be any issues there. The emulation issue only rears its head when running current and older x86 applications. The FX! In its blog post, Intel attempts to up the threat by citing precedent with the successful use of its SIMD patent portfolio to shut down code morphing x86 emulation from Transmeta used in its Crusoe family of microprocessors.

Of course, Intel has a vested interest in shutting down any serious emulation effort as quickly as possible. The company has been a clear leader in the PC space for a number of years now, retaining between a 70 and 80 percent of the market share and squeezing its only chip rival AMD down to as low as 20 percent over the past decade.

There are three options: No display emulation - No display emulation is active. This is the default setting. Select the Display Emulation option. Which Intel NUC products support display emulation?

Intel SDE now provides a way to emulate the user space aspects of this technology and the readiness of the software compiled with CET stack checks or CET indirect branch checks.

On Ubuntu system the yama feature disables processes from using ptrace attach to the parent process. Intel SDE is using this feature to inject itself into the process. To disable yama on the system run the following as root:.

This change takes effect until the next reboot. To make this change permanent add it to the init scripts of the system. This results with a popup window to confirm that it is allowed to take control of another process. However, when running on non-GUI sessions, e. SSH session the popup will never show up and it will fail immediately.

To cope with this issue, a one time configuration is needed to be performed on the machine so the OS will not try to show this popup and will auto-confirm the takeover of the process. System Integrity Protection includes protection for these parts of the system:. In order to run SDE on applications which are protected by the system-integrity, you must disable it.

Intel engineers will be monitoring and available to answer user questions. Intel SDE will crash. You can use "sde -ptr-check -- your app" to get a more verbose error message. Alternatively, you can use "sde -trace-execute -- your app" to get dump of the instructions executed in your task to find out what instruction was last executed.

Then you can use "sde -debugtrace -- your app" to look for the last write to the registers involved in the effective address computation for that last executed instruction. The release notes for Pin are available here.

The basic sources for debugtrace and mix are available in Pin kits on the Pin website. See the download page. In this case Pin is not able to use its default parent injection mode. To resolve this, execute the following echo command as root. SDE does not need to run as root. Ady joined Intel in Ady works on emulation of new instructions in support of the compiler, architecture and the enabling teams.
