(If a feature is 156not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real 157hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features. 158 159R-profile CPU architecture support 160================================== 161 162QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited. 163We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs. 164 165M-profile CPU architecture support 166================================== 167 168QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and 169Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.

(If a feature is 189not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real 190hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for 191M-profile. 192
