SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ - -Arm Versatile Express -===================== - -The vexpress_* board configuration supports the following platforms: - - * FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA - * FVP_BaseR_AEMv8R - * Juno development board - -Fixed Virtual Platforms ------------------------ - -The Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP) are complete simulations of an Arm system, -including processor, memory and peripherals. They are set out in a "programmer's -view", which gives a comprehensive model on which to build and test software. - -The supported FVPs are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the -Arm developer site [1]_ (user registration might be required). - -Supported features: - - * GICv3 - * Generic timer - * PL011 UART - * SMC91111 network interface - -The default configuration assumes that U-Boot is boostrapped from the start of -the DRAM (address 0x80000000 for AEMvA; 0x00000000 for AEMv8R) using a suitable -bootloader. Alternatively, U-Boot can be launched directly by mapping the binary -to the same address (using the FVP's --data argument). - -The FVPs can be debugged using Arm Development Studio [2]_. - -FVP_BaseR -^^^^^^^^^ - -On Armv8r64 platforms (such as the FVP_BaseR), U-Boot runs at S-EL2, so -CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 is defined so that the next stage boots at S-EL1. If -S-EL2 is desired instead, the *armv8_switch_to_el1* environment variable is -available. This can be set to *n* to override the config flag and boot the next -stage at S-EL2 instead. - -Juno ----- - -The Juno development board is an open, vendor-neutral Armv8-A development -platform that supports an out-of-the-box Linux software package. A range of -plug-in expansion options enables hardware and software applications to be -developed and debugged. - -References ----------- - -..
