	This adds QEMU RISC-V 'virt' board target support, with the hope of helping people easily test U-Boot on RISC-V. The QEMU virt machine models a generic RISC-V virtual machine with support for the VirtIO standard networking and block storage devices. It has CLINT, PLIC, 16550A UART devices in addition to VirtIO and it also uses device-tree to pass configuration information to guest software. It implements RISC-V privileged architecture spec v1.10. Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are supported. Support is pretty much preliminary, only booting to U-Boot shell with the UART driver on a single core. Booting Linux is not supported yet.

| U-Boot on QEMU's 'virt' machine on RISC-V
 | |
| =========================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| QEMU for RISC-V supports a special 'virt' machine designed for emulation and
 | |
| virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.
 | |
| Both 32-bit 64-bit targets are supported.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The QEMU virt machine models a generic RISC-V virtual machine with support for
 | |
| the VirtIO standard networking and block storage devices. It has CLINT, PLIC,
 | |
| 16550A UART devices in addition to VirtIO and it also uses device-tree to pass
 | |
| configuration information to guest software. It implements RISC-V privileged
 | |
| architecture spec v1.10.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building U-Boot
 | |
| ---------------
 | |
| Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable as usual, and run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - For 32-bit RISC-V:
 | |
|     make qemu-riscv32_defconfig
 | |
|     make
 | |
| 
 | |
| - For 64-bit RISC-V:
 | |
|     make qemu-riscv64_defconfig
 | |
|     make
 | |
| 
 | |
| Running U-Boot
 | |
| --------------
 | |
| The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - For 32-bit RISC-V:
 | |
|     qemu-system-riscv32 -nographic -machine virt -kernel u-boot
 | |
| 
 | |
| - For 64-bit RISC-V:
 | |
|     qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt -kernel u-boot
 | |
| 
 | |
| The commands above create targets with 128MiB memory by default.
 | |
| A freely configurable amount of RAM can be created via the '-m'
 | |
| parameter. For example, '-m 2G' creates 2GiB memory for the target,
 | |
| and the memory node in the embedded DTB created by QEMU reflects
 | |
| the new setting.
 | |
| 
 | |
| These have been tested in QEMU 3.0.0.
