warning: cannot read from console:: Resource temporarily unavailable
I'll fix this, but don't have access to my debian box until Tuesday.
It appears this issue is related to user limits, although I'm unable to guess what it might be... Can you run "ulimit -aH" or "prlimit" to see what resource is being restricted?

Thanks @mfld-fr. I've tracked this down to something to do with Linux's special handling of stdin when set to non-blocking mode, which is different between the console and pty drivers. More coming when I can fully reproduce on Linux vs macOS.
@ghaerr : OK, thanks, let us wait for your test on your Linux box...
@mfld-fr :
I just tested on two emulated Linux VMs, Ubuntu 18.10 running kernel 4.18.0-16 and Debian 9.9. Both versions did not reproduce this error. I presume this error is occurring immediately after loading with the arguments you've specified, NOT after a ^C, correct?
Can you give me the version of Gentoo you are running on, I may have to download that specific version.
A discussion on the possible reasons for this error are here https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/176#issuecomment-15807928, although the issue could be to do with the shell, as discussed in detail here https://www.cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html.
In the meantime, I've discovered two more problems associated with the console driver:
I will submit a PR for these two problems.
@mfld-fr : I downloaded the base Gentoo from their main site and setup a VM, to try to reproduce this ug. The system doesn't come with a compiler. Can you give me the kernel version of your Gentoo system? Did you download a full system from somewhere, or have you built up your Gentoo from scratch?
I build my Gentoo system following the instructions of the manual : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page

warning: cannot read from console:: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: execute operation

I am pretty sure this error has nothing to do with Gentoo specifically, as I can't get it to reproduce on any system. This is because I don't (yet) have ADVTECH1.BIN nor mon86.bin to load. Instead, I think the problem has to do with the emulated MON86 code or the EMU86 BIOS emulation code calling a BIOS function that calls serial_recv, expecting the system to "wait" on a character. This will need some thinking and a slight redesign in order to implement on my console code.
Notice that you have a ">" prompt above, and 'q' was used to exit. This means the emu-console code is running properly. The error "warning: cannot read from console:: Resource temporarily unavailable" is very likely because, for the console driver (and unlike the PTY driver), a serial-poll() call must be used before calling serial_read(). This is because, for the new console driver, the console is in non-blocking mode, whereas in PTY, there is no need for such.
Thus, the "Resource temporarily unavailable" is actually essentially a -EWOULDBLOCK return. In this case, the fix entails testing for the specific errno return value occurring in your case, and returning -1 (or 0xFF, depending on your serial_recv() version), and continuing.
I am still studying MON86 but am sure it calls a function to wait on a character, which ends up calling serial_recv().
We need to (re)define the semantics of serial_poll and serial_recv, given this information. If we can determine the BIOS call that mon86 is making to the Advantech BIOS, I can duplicate this on my system, and then proceed to provide a fix where the system waits for a read, hopefully not by busy looping, to implement this functionality.
Apart from this, you should be able to test EMU86 with my console driver by running the emulator as above with -i, and start immediately single stepping, with the console operational. The error will occur when the system later calls serial_recv() without a character ready, as described.
Please advise, thanks!
Fixed by #17
I tried for the first time the 'console' mode on commit 1e25716, and I got the following error on Gentoo Linux:
The same run works fine in 'pty' mode.
