(If a feature is 117not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real 118hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features. 119 120R-profile CPU architecture support 121================================== 122 123QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited. 124We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs. 125 126M-profile CPU architecture support 127================================== 128 129QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and 130Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.

(If a feature is 150not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real 151hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for 152M-profile. 153
