Description-en: QEMU full system emulation binaries (miscellaneous)
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports
ARM, CRIS, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, and SH4
emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves
reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.
.
This package provides the full system emulation binaries to emulate
various other hardware which did not made into separate packages.
Emulators for the following architectures are provided:
alpha avr cris hppa m68k microblaze microblazeel moxie
nios2 or1k riscv32 riscv64 rx sh4 sh4eb tricore xtensa xtensaeb.
.
In system emulation mode QEMU emulates a full system, including a processor
and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and debugging of system
code. It can also be used to provide virtual hosting of several virtual
machines on a single server.
