77For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
78to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
79<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
80
81When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
82are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
83not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
84hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
85
86R-profile CPU architecture support
87==================================
88
89QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
90We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
91
92M-profile CPU architecture support
93==================================
94
95QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
96Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.  It also has support
97for the following architecture extensions:
98
99- FP (Floating-point Extension)
100- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
101- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
102- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
103- M (Main Extension)
104- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
105- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
106- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
107- S (Security Extension)
108- ST (System Timer Extension)
109
110For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
111to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
112<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.
113
114When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
115are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
116not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
117hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
118M-profile.
