61
62For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
63to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
64<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
65
66When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
67are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
68not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
69hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
70
71R-profile CPU architecture support
72==================================
73
74QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
75We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
76
77M-profile CPU architecture support
78==================================
79
80QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
81Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.  It also has support
82for the following architecture extensions:
83
84- FP (Floating-point Extension)
85- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
86- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
87- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
88- M (Main Extension)
89- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
90- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
91- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
92- S (Security Extension)
93- ST (System Timer Extension)
94
95For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
96to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
97<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.
98
99When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
100are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
101not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
102hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
103M-profile.
