However as of to date nobody has indicated plans for such kind of reimplementation unfortunately. +RISC-V 'any' CPU type ``-cpu any`` (since 8.2) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The 'any' CPU type was introduced back in 2018 and has been around since the +initial RISC-V QEMU port. Its usage has always been unclear: users don't know +what to expect from a CPU called 'any', and in fact the CPU does not do anything +special that isn't already done by the default CPUs rv32/rv64. + +After the introduction of the 'max' CPU type, RISC-V now has a good coverage +of generic CPUs: rv32 and rv64 as default CPUs and 'max' as a feature complete +CPU for both 32 and 64 bit builds. Users are then discouraged to use the 'any' +CPU type starting in 8.2. + +RISC-V CPU properties which start with capital 'Z' (since 8.2) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +All RISC-V CPU properties which start with capital 'Z' are being deprecated +starting in 8.2. The reason is that they were wrongly added with capital 'Z' +in the past. CPU properties were later added with lower-case names, which +is the format we want to use from now on. + +Users which try to use these deprecated properties will receive a warning +recommending to switch to their stable counterparts: + +- "Zifencei" should be replaced with "zifencei" +- "Zicsr" should be replaced with "zicsr" +- "Zihintntl" should be replaced with "zihintntl" +- "Zihintpause" should be replaced with "zihintpause" +- "Zawrs" should be replaced with "zawrs" +- "Zfa" should be replaced with "zfa" +- "Zfh" should be replaced with "zfh" +- "Zfhmin" should be replaced with "zfhmin" +- "Zve32f" should be replaced with "zve32f" +- "Zve64f" should be replaced with "zve64f" +- "Zve64d" should be replaced with "zve64d" Block device options '''''''''''''''''''' |
