| For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer |
| to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual |
| <https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_. |
| |
| When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which |
| are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is |
| not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real |
| hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features. |
| |
| R-profile CPU architecture support |
| ================================== |
| |
| QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited. |
| We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs. |
| |
| M-profile CPU architecture support |
| ================================== |
| |
| QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and |
| Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture. It also has support |
| for the following architecture extensions: |
| |
| - FP (Floating-point Extension) |
| - FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions) |
| - HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions) |
| - LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future) |
| - M (Main Extension) |
| - MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension) |
| - PXN (Privileged Execute Never) |
| - RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only |
| - S (Security Extension) |
| - ST (System Timer Extension) |
| |
| For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer |
| to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual |
| <https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_. |

| When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which |
| are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is |
| not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real |
| hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for |
| M-profile. |
