| 27 | +[The xPack QEMU RISC-V](https://xpack-dev-tools.github.io/qemu-riscv-xpack) |
| 28 | +is a standalone cross-platform binary distribution of |
| 29 | +[QEMU](https://www.qemu.org). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +There are separate binaries for **Windows** (Intel 64-bit), |
| 32 | +**macOS** (Intel 64-bit, Apple Silicon 64-bit) |
| 33 | +and **GNU/Linux** (Intel 64-bit, Arm 32/64-bit). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +:::note Raspberry Pi |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The main targets for the GNU/Linux Arm |
| 38 | +binaries are the **Raspberry Pi** class devices (armv7l and aarch64; |
| 39 | +armv6 is not supported). |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +::: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Download |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The binary files are available from <a href={ frontMatter.download_url }>GitHub Releases</a>. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Prerequisites |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- GNU/Linux Intel 64-bit: any system with **GLIBC 2.27** or higher |
| 50 | + (like Ubuntu 18 or later, Debian 10 or later, RedHat 8 or later, |
| 51 | + Fedora 29 or later, etc) |
| 52 | +- GNU/Linux Arm 32/64-bit: any system with **GLIBC 2.27** or higher |
| 53 | + (like Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu 18 or later, Debian 10 or later, RedHat 8 or later, |
| 54 | + Fedora 29 or later, etc) |
| 55 | +- Intel Windows 64-bit: Windows 7 with the Universal C Runtime |
| 56 | + ([UCRT](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-c0514201-7fe6-95a3-b0a5-287930f3560c)), |

| 59 | +- macOS Apple Silicon 64-bit: 11.6 or later |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +On GNU/Linux, QEMU requires the X11 libraries to be present. On Debian derived |
| 62 | +distribution they are already in the system; on RedHat & Arch derived |
| 63 | +distributions they must be installed explicitly. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Install |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +The full details of installing the **xPack QEMU RISC-V** on various platforms |
| 68 | +are presented in the [Install Guide](/docs/install/). |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +## Compliance |

| 137 | + |
| 138 | +## Build |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +The binaries for all supported platforms |
| 141 | +(Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux) were built using the |
| 142 | +[xPack Build Box (XBB)](https://xpack.github.io/xbb/), a set |
| 143 | +of build environments based on slightly older distributions, that should be |
| 144 | +compatible with most recent systems. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +The scripts used to build this distribution are in: |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +- `distro-info/scripts` |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +For the prerequisites and more details on the build procedure, please see the |
| 151 | +[README-MAINTAINER](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-riscv-xpack/blob/xpack/README-MAINTAINER.md) page. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +## CI tests |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +Before publishing, a set of simple tests were performed on an exhaustive |
| 156 | +set of platforms. The results are available from: |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +- [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-riscv-xpack/actions/) |
| 159 | +- [Travis CI](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-riscv-xpack/builds/) |

| 190 | +## Deprecation notices |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +### 32-bit support |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +Support for 32-bit Intel Linux and Intel Windows was |
| 195 | +dropped in 2022. Support for 32-bit Arm Linux (armv7l) will be preserved |
| 196 | +for a while, due to the large user base of 32-bit Raspberry Pi systems. |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +### Linux minimum requirements |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +Support for RedHat 7 was dropped in 2022, and the |
| 201 | +minimum requirement was raised to GLIBC 2.27, available starting |
| 202 | +with Ubuntu 18 and RedHat 8. |
