2.3.3 Shutdown, Save State, and Reboot

These changes do not take effect until the target system is rebooted. To make it easy to get into debug:

• Shutdown the target system,
• When the shutdown is complete (it is not given that Simics stops at this point, since power-off is an allowed operation in a virtual platform), stop Simics.
• Save the complete disk state to use this as your base disk, or save a diff to apply in the reboot.

For the QSP-x86 system, a complete image save is done in a way like this:

simics> board.disk0.hd_image.save -save-craff win10-debug.craff

Start a new Simics session using this new disk image as the boot image.
