100For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
101to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
102<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
103
104When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
105are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
106not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
107hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
108
109R-profile CPU architecture support
110==================================
111
112QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
113We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
114
115M-profile CPU architecture support
116==================================
117
118QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
119Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.  It also has support
120for the following architecture extensions:
121
122- FP (Floating-point Extension)
123- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
124- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
125- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
126- M (Main Extension)
127- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
128- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
129- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
130- S (Security Extension)
131- ST (System Timer Extension)
132
133For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
134to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
135<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.
136
137When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
138are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
139not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
140hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
141M-profile.
