ARM BASE RevC AEMv8A Fixed Virtual Platforms
############################################
Overview
********
This board configuration will use ARM Fixed Virtual Platforms(FVP) to emulate
a generic Armv8-A 64-bit hardware platform.
This configuration provides support for a generic Armv8-A 64-bit CPU and
these devices:
* GICv3 interrupt controller
* ARM architected (Generic) timer
* PL011 UART controller
Hardware
********
Supported Features
==================
The following hardware features are supported:
+-----------------------+------------+----------------------+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
+=======================+============+======================+
| GICv3 | on-chip | interrupt controller |
+-----------------------+------------+----------------------+
| PL011 UART | on-chip | serial port |
+-----------------------+------------+----------------------+
| ARM GENERIC TIMER | on-chip | system clock |
+-----------------------+------------+----------------------+
The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform.
Devices
========
System Clock
------------
This board configuration uses a system clock frequency of 100 MHz.
Serial Port
-----------
This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the
UART0.
Known Problems or Limitations
==============================
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Use this configuration to build basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the
ARM FVP emulated environment, for example, with the :ref:`synchronization_sample`:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
:host-os: unix
:board: fvp_base_revc_2xaemv8a
:goals: build
This will build an image with the synchronization sample app.
To run with FVP, ARMFVP_BIN_PATH must be set before running:
e.g. export ARMFVP_BIN_PATH=<path/to/fvp/dir>
Debugging
=========
Refer to the detailed overview about :ref:`application_debugging`.
