98For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
99to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
100<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
101
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.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
106
107R-profile CPU architecture support
108==================================
109
110QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
111We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
112
113M-profile CPU architecture support
114==================================
115
116QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
117Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.  It also has support
118for the following architecture extensions:
119
120- FP (Floating-point Extension)
121- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
122- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
123- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
124- M (Main Extension)
125- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
126- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
127- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
128- S (Security Extension)
129- ST (System Timer Extension)
130
131For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
132to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
133<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.
134
135When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
136are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
137not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
138hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
139M-profile.
