65For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
66to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
67<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
68
69When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
70are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
71not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
72hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
73
74R-profile CPU architecture support
75==================================
76
77QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
78We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
79
80M-profile CPU architecture support
81==================================
82
83QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
84Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.  It also has support
85for the following architecture extensions:
86
87- FP (Floating-point Extension)
88- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
89- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
90- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
91- M (Main Extension)
92- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
93- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
94- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
95- S (Security Extension)
96- ST (System Timer Extension)
97
98For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
99to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
100<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.

102When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
103are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
104not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
105hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
106M-profile.
