No, at the moment the only way to write emulation of
a new SoC is to do it in C as part of the main QEMU
executable.

Suitable API do build the custom SoC emulation

2023-02-14 Thread Alyosha Shevandin 
I wonder if there is any other way to build emulation for the custom SoC except 
using QEMU C API? I mean, the C API the one, that is used in a lot of examples 
under /hw folder. The other way – the high level abstractions – based: XML, 
Json, Python etc.

The custom hardware that I need to emulate:

  *   A55 CPU

  *   different kind of memories (RAM, SRAM, ROM) with some custom memory 
layout;

  *   UART

  *   ARM TF, BL1 loading (-bios command line parameter)
