ARM Cortex-R5 Emulation (QEMU)
##############################

Overview
********

This board configuration will use QEMU to emulate the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+
(ZynqMP) platform.

This configuration provides support for an ARM Cortex-R5 CPU and these devices:

* ARM PL-390 Generic Interrupt Controller
* Xilinx Zynq TTC (Cadence TTC)
* Xilinx Zynq UART

.. note::
This board configuration makes no claims about its suitability for use
with an actual ZCU102 hardware system, or any other hardware system.

Hardware
********
Supported Features
==================

The following hardware features are supported:

+--------------+------------+----------------------+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
+==============+============+======================+
| GIC | on-chip | generic interrupt |
| | | controller |
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
| TTC | on-chip | system timer |
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
| UART | on-chip | serial port |
+--------------+------------+----------------------+

The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform.

Devices
========
System Timer
------------

This board configuration uses a system timer tick frequency of 1000 Hz.

Serial Port
-----------

This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the
on-chip UART0.

Known Problems or Limitations
==============================

The following platform features are unsupported:

* Dual-redundant Core Lock-step (DCLS) execution is not emulated.
* Xilinx Zynq TTC driver does not support tickless mode operation.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the
QEMU emulated environment, for example, with the :ref:`synchronization_sample`:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
:host-os: unix
:board: qemu_cortex_r5
:goals: run

This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
QEMU, and display the following console output:

.. code-block:: console
*** Booting Zephyr OS build v2.2.0 ***

Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
