1Arm MPS2 boards (``mps2-an385``, ``mps2-an505``, ``mps2-an511``, ``mps2-an521``)

4These board models all use Arm M-profile CPUs.

6The Arm MPS2 and MPS2+ dev boards are FPGA based (the 2+ has a bigger
7FPGA but is otherwise the same as the 2). Since the CPU itself
8and most of the devices are in the FPGA, the details of the board
9as seen by the guest depend significantly on the FPGA image.

11QEMU models the following FPGA images:
12
13``mps2-an385``
14  Cortex-M3 as documented in ARM Application Note AN385
15``mps2-an511``
16  Cortex-M3 'DesignStart' as documented in AN511
17``mps2-an505``
18  Cortex-M33 as documented in ARM Application Note AN505
19``mps2-an521``
20  Dual Cortex-M33 as documented in Application Note AN521

22Differences between QEMU and real hardware:
23
24- AN385 remapping of low 16K of memory to either ZBT SSRAM1 or to
25  block RAM is unimplemented (QEMU always maps this to ZBT SSRAM1, as
26  if zbt_boot_ctrl is always zero)
27- QEMU provides a LAN9118 ethernet rather than LAN9220; the only guest
28  visible difference is that the LAN9118 doesn't support checksum
29  offloading
