Overview
7+
********
8+
9+
This board configuration will use QEMU to emulate the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+
10+
(ZynqMP) platform.

This configuration provides support for an ARM Cortex-R5 CPU and these devices:
20+
21+
* ARM PL-390 Generic Interrupt Controller
22+
* Xilinx Zynq TTC (Cadence TTC)
23+
* Xilinx Zynq UART
24+
25+
.. note::
26+
This board configuration makes no claims about its suitability for use
27+
with an actual ZCU102 hardware system, or any other hardware system.

31+
Supported Features
32+
==================
33+
34+
The following hardware features are supported:
35+
36+
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
37+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
38+
+==============+============+======================+
39+
| GIC | on-chip | generic interrupt |
40+
| | | controller |
41+
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
42+
| TTC | on-chip | system timer |
43+
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
44+
| UART | on-chip | serial port |
45+
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
46+
47+
The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform.
48+
49+
Devices
50+
========
51+
System Timer
52+
------------
53+
54+
This board configuration uses a system timer tick frequency of 1000 Hz.
55+
56+
Serial Port
57+
-----------
58+
59+
This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the
60+
on-chip UART0.
61+
62+
Known Problems or Limitations
63+
==============================
64+
65+
The following platform features are unsupported:
66+
67+
* Dual-redundant Core Lock-step (DCLS) execution is not emulated.
68+
* Xilinx Zynq TTC driver does not support tickless mode operation.
69+
70+
Programming and Debugging
71+
*************************
72+
73+
Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the
74+
QEMU emulated environment, for example, with the :ref:`synchronization_sample`:
75+
76+
.. zephyr-app-commands::
77+
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
78+
:host-os: unix
79+
:board: qemu_cortex_r5
80+
:goals: run
81+
82+
This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
83+
QEMU, and display the following console output:
84+
85+
.. code-block:: console
86+
87+
