3AVR System emulator
4-------------------

6Use the executable ``qemu-system-avr`` to emulate a AVR 8 bit based machine.
7These can have one of the following cores: avr1, avr2, avr25, avr3, avr31,
8avr35, avr4, avr5, avr51, avr6, avrtiny, xmega2, xmega3, xmega4, xmega5,
9xmega6 and xmega7.

11As for now it supports few Arduino boards for educational and testing purposes.
12These boards use a ATmega controller, which model is limited to USART & 16-bit
13timer devices, enough to run FreeRTOS based applications (like
14https://github.com/seharris/qemu-avr-tests/blob/master/free-rtos/Demo/AVR_ATMega2560_GCC/demo.elf
15).

17Following are examples of possible usages, assuming demo.elf is compiled for
18AVR cpu
19
20- Continuous non interrupted execution::
21
22   qemu-system-avr -machine mega2560 -bios demo.elf
23
24- Continuous non interrupted execution with serial output into telnet window::
25
26   qemu-system-avr -M mega2560 -bios demo.elf -nographic \
27                   -serial tcp::5678,server,nowait
28
29  and then in another shell::
30
31   telnet localhost 5678
32
33- Debugging with GDB debugger::
34
35   qemu-system-avr -machine mega2560 -bios demo.elf -s -S
36
37  and then in another shell::
38
39   avr-gdb demo.elf
40
41  and then within GDB shell::
42
43   target remote :1234
44
45- Print out executed instructions (that have not been translated by the JIT
46  compiler yet)::
47
48   qemu-system-avr -machine mega2560 -bios demo.elf -d in_asm
