- .. _Sparc32-System-emulator:
- Sparc32 System emulator
- -----------------------
- Use the executable ``qemu-system-sparc`` to simulate the following Sun4m
- architecture machines:
- - SPARCstation 4
- - SPARCstation 5
- - SPARCstation 10
- - SPARCstation 20
- - SPARCserver 600MP
- - SPARCstation LX
- - SPARCstation Voyager
- - SPARCclassic
- - SPARCbook
- The emulation is somewhat complete. SMP up to 16 CPUs is supported, but
- Linux limits the number of usable CPUs to 4.
- The list of available CPUs can be viewed by starting QEMU with ``-cpu help``.
- Optional boolean features can be added with a "+" in front of the feature name,
- or disabled with a "-" in front of the name, for example
- ``-cpu TI-SuperSparc-II,+float128``.
- QEMU emulates the following sun4m peripherals:
- - IOMMU
- - TCX or cgthree Frame buffer
- - Lance (Am7990) Ethernet
- - Non Volatile RAM M48T02/M48T08
- - Slave I/O: timers, interrupt controllers, Zilog serial ports,
- :ref:`keyboard` and power/reset logic
- - ESP SCSI controller with hard disk and CD-ROM support
- - Floppy drive (not on SS-600MP)
- - CS4231 sound device (only on SS-5, not working yet)
- The number of peripherals is fixed in the architecture. Maximum memory
- size depends on the machine type, for SS-5 it is 256MB and for others
- 2047MB.
- Since version 0.8.2, QEMU uses OpenBIOS https://www.openbios.org/.
- OpenBIOS is a free (GPL v2) portable firmware implementation. The goal
- is to implement a 100% IEEE 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware)
- compliant firmware.
- Please note that currently older Solaris kernels don't work; this is probably
- due to interface issues between OpenBIOS and Solaris.
