Mostly looks OK, I think. One major point: * I think we should make sure we include a list of the caveats about the vexpress-a15 model. To steal some text from a mail I sent linaro-dev a little while back: * the A15 CPU emulated will *not* include emulation of LPAE, Virtualization extensions or TrustZone; you can boot a Linux kernel compiled for A15-without-LPAE, but this is definitely not going to be of any use to you if you wanted to test Xen/KVM/hypervisor type code on a model. * this is not (at least initially) going to be a "supported" platform model for Linaro, as it is primarily intended to help us as we work on KVM for the Cortex-A15. So you can try it but we don't promise to do anything if it doesn't work :-) * there is not as yet any Linaro "hardware pack" for the A15, so you will be on your own for putting together a kernel, user space, etc. You might want to rephrase some of that for this audience, but I think we should be clear that when we say we've done a "vexpress-a15" model we don't mean that it is a complete model or that we intend to support it as a Linaro platform yet. And some nits: * You say git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git rev 77b63650b4986914c5591bbb45855b02d7102db5 but that git commit isn't in upstream qemu.git, it's a qemu-linaro commit. * the "and" is misplaced in the credits list at the bottom -- PMM _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
