QEMU aims to model real hardware, with the exception of the 'Virt' boards that have specifications. Here I can't find any. I am not against Hervé > maintaining this file if he has some interest in it, but I think there are confusion and we are talking about 2 different topics. Philippe is right. I care about Magnum/PICA boards (which have a R4000 cpu). I don't care about this the mips_r4k.c machine, and I think that deprecating mips_r4k.c machine is the right thing to do. > >> Herve is the most familiar of all of us with R4000, and, for that >> reason, my suggestion is to keep the patch as it is.

Jazz and mips_r4k machines have mostly nothing in common, except using a R4000 CPU and an ISA bus. Regards, Hervé
