      1 Arm MPS2 and MPS3 boards (``mps2-an385``, ``mps2-an386``, ``mps2-an500``, ``mps2-an505``, ``mps2-an511``, ``mps2-an521``, ``mps3-an524``, ``mps3-an547``)

      4 These board models all use Arm M-profile CPUs.
      5 
      6 The Arm MPS2, MPS2+ and MPS3 dev boards are FPGA based (the 2+ has a
      7 bigger FPGA but is otherwise the same as the 2; the 3 has a bigger
      8 FPGA again, can handle 4GB of RAM and has a USB controller and QSPI flash).
      9 
     10 Since the CPU itself and most of the devices are in the FPGA, the
     11 details of the board as seen by the guest depend significantly on the
     12 FPGA image.
     13 
     14 QEMU models the following FPGA images:
     15 
     16 ``mps2-an385``
     17   Cortex-M3 as documented in Arm Application Note AN385
     18 ``mps2-an386``
     19   Cortex-M4 as documented in Arm Application Note AN386
     20 ``mps2-an500``
     21   Cortex-M7 as documented in Arm Application Note AN500
     22 ``mps2-an505``
     23   Cortex-M33 as documented in Arm Application Note AN505
     24 ``mps2-an511``
     25   Cortex-M3 'DesignStart' as documented in Arm Application Note AN511
     26 ``mps2-an521``
     27   Dual Cortex-M33 as documented in Arm Application Note AN521
     28 ``mps3-an524``
     29   Dual Cortex-M33 on an MPS3, as documented in Arm Application Note AN524
     30 ``mps3-an547``
     31   Cortex-M55 on an MPS3, as documented in Arm Application Note AN547
     32 
     33 Differences between QEMU and real hardware:
     34 
     35 - AN385/AN386 remapping of low 16K of memory to either ZBT SSRAM1 or to
     36   block RAM is unimplemented (QEMU always maps this to ZBT SSRAM1, as
     37   if zbt_boot_ctrl is always zero)
     38 - AN524 remapping of low memory to either BRAM or to QSPI flash is
     39   unimplemented (QEMU always maps this to BRAM, ignoring the
     40   SCC CFG_REG0 memory-remap bit)
     41 - QEMU provides a LAN9118 ethernet rather than LAN9220; the only guest
     42   visible difference is that the LAN9118 doesn't support checksum
     43   offloading
     44 - QEMU does not model the QSPI flash in MPS3 boards as real QSPI
     45   flash, but only as simple ROM, so attempting to rewrite the flash
     46   from the guest will fail
     47 - QEMU does not model the USB controller in MPS3 boards
     48 
     49 Machine-specific options
     50 """"""""""""""""""""""""
     51 
     52 The following machine-specific options are supported:
     53 
     54 remap
     55   Supported for ``mps3-an524`` only.
     56   Set ``BRAM``/``QSPI`` to select the initial memory mapping. The
     57   default is ``BRAM``.
