==========

This board configuration will use FVP_BaseR_AEMv8R to emulate
generic ARM64v8-R (Cotex-R82) series hardware platform and
provides support for these devices:

 - GICv3 interrupt controllers for ARMv8-r
 - PL011 UART controller(FVP)

Getting Started
===============

1. Compile Toolchain
    The FVP platform using same Compiler like qemu, read the following
  file for How to get the Tool:
  https://github.com/apache/nuttx/tree/master/boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a

Note:
  1 My host environment is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 will work too
  2 The newest GNU toolchain is 12.2, available from:
     https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads


2. Getting Armv8-R AEM FVP
   The Armv8-R AEM FVP is a free of charge Armv8-R Fixed Virtual Platform.
   It supports the latest Armv8-R feature set. we can get it from:
   https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-ecosystem-models

   Please select to download Armv8-R AEM FVP product, extract the tool package
   the FVP tool is locate at:
   AEMv8R_FVP/AEMv8R_base_pkg/models/Linux64_GCC-9.3/FVP_BaseR_AEMv8R

3. Configuring and building
  3.1 FVP Overview
     Just like QEMU, Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP) are complete simulations of an Arm system,
   including processor, memory and peripherals. These are set out in a "programmer's view",
   which gives you a comprehensive model on which to build and test your software.

     The FVP tools simulate 4 serial port and implement them to wait on local socket port:

     $ /home/qinwei/workdir/tools/AEMv8R_FVP/AEMv8R_base_pkg/models/Linux64_GCC-9.3/FVP_BaseR_AEMv8R \
        -f boards/arm64/fvp-v8r/fvp-armv8r/scripts/fvp_cfg.txt -a ./nuttx
      terminal_0: Listening for serial connection on port 5000
      terminal_1: Listening for serial connection on port 5001
      terminal_2: Listening for serial connection on port 5002
      terminal_3: Listening for serial connection on port 5003

     FVP has four UART port and I choice UART1 as tty, so just telnet to port 5001
     will enter nsh:
     telnet localhost 5001

  3.1 Single Core
   Configuring NuttX and compile:
   $ ./tools/configure.sh -l fvp-armv8r:nsh
   $ make

  3.2 SMP
   Configuring NuttX and compile:
   $ ./tools/configure.sh -l fvp-armv8r:nsh_smp
   $ make

4. Running
