| 7 | QEMU for ARM supports a special 'virt' machine designed for emulation and |
| 8 | virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it. |
| Tuomas Tynkkynen | e7ba41c | 2018-01-11 16:11:24 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | Both 32-bit ARM and AArch64 are supported. |
| Tuomas Tynkkynen | d5587fa | 2017-10-09 19:42:41 +0300 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | |
| 11 | The 'virt' platform provides the following as the basic functionality: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - A freely configurable amount of CPU cores |
| 14 | - U-Boot loaded and executing in the emulated flash at address 0x0 |
| 15 | - A generated device tree blob placed at the start of RAM |
| 16 | - A freely configurable amount of RAM, described by the DTB |
| 17 | - A PL011 serial port, discoverable via the DTB |
| Tuomas Tynkkynen | e7ba41c | 2018-01-11 16:11:24 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | - An ARMv7/ARMv8 architected timer |
| Tuomas Tynkkynen | d5587fa | 2017-10-09 19:42:41 +0300 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | - PSCI for rebooting the system |
| 20 | - A generic ECAM-based PCI host controller, discoverable via the DTB |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Additionally, a number of optional peripherals can be added to the PCI bus. |

| 64 | can be enabled with the following command line parameters: |
