+Xilinx Versal Virt (``xlnx-versal-virt``)
+=========================================
+
+Xilinx Versal is a family of heterogeneous multi-core SoCs
+(System on Chip) that combine traditional hardened CPUs and I/O
+peripherals in a Processing System (PS) with runtime programmable
+FPGA logic (PL) and an Artificial Intelligence Engine (AIE).
+
+More details here:
+https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/acap/versal.html
+
+The family of Versal SoCs share a single architecture but come in
+different parts with different speed grades, amounts of PL and
+other differences.
+
+The Xilinx Versal Virt board in QEMU is a model of a virtual board
+(does not exist in reality) with a virtual Versal SoC without I/O
+limitations. Currently, we support the following cores and devices:
+
+Implemented CPU cores:
+
+- 2 ACPUs (ARM Cortex-A72)
+
+Implemented devices:
+
+- Interrupt controller (ARM GICv3)
+- 2 UARTs (ARM PL011)
+- An RTC (Versal built-in)
+- 2 GEMs (Cadence MACB Ethernet MACs)
+- 8 ADMA (Xilinx zDMA) channels
+- 2 SD Controllers
+- OCM (256KB of On Chip Memory)
+- DDR memory
+
+QEMU does not yet model any other devices, including the PL and the AI Engine.
+
+Other differences between the hardware and the QEMU model:
+
+- QEMU allows the amount of DDR memory provided to be specified with the
+ ``-m`` argument. If a DTB is provided on the command line then QEMU will
+ edit it to include suitable entries describing the Versal DDR memory ranges.
+
+- QEMU provides 8 virtio-mmio virtio transports; these start at
+ address ``0xa0000000`` and have IRQs from 111 and upwards.
+
+Running
+"""""""
+If the user provides an Operating System to be loaded, we expect users
+to use the ``-kernel`` command line option.
+
+Users can load firmware or boot-loaders with the ``-device loader`` options.
+
+When loading an OS, QEMU generates a DTB and selects an appropriate address
+where it gets loaded. This DTB will be passed to the kernel in register x0.
+
+If there's no ``-kernel`` option, we generate a DTB and place it at 0x1000
+for boot-loaders or firmware to pick it up.
+
+If users want to provide their own DTB, they can use the ``-dtb`` option.
+These DTBs will have their memory nodes modified to match QEMU's
+selected ram_size option before they get passed to the kernel or FW.
+
+When loading an OS, we turn on QEMU's PSCI implementation with SMC
+as the PSCI conduit. When there's no ``-kernel`` option, we assume the user
+provides EL3 firmware to handle PSCI.
+
+A few examples:
+
+Direct Linux boot of a generic ARM64 upstream Linux kernel:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M xlnx-versal-virt -m 2G \
+ -serial mon:stdio -display none \
+ -kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image \
+ -nic user -nic user \
+ -device virtio-rng-device,bus=virtio-mmio-bus.0 \
+ -drive if=none,index=0,file=hd0.qcow2,id=hd0,snapshot \
+ -drive file=qemu_sd.qcow2,if=sd,index=0,snapshot \
+ -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 -append root=/dev/vda
+
+Direct Linux boot of PetaLinux 2019.2:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M xlnx-versal-virt -m 2G \
+ -serial mon:stdio -display none \
+ -kernel petalinux-v2019.2/Image \
+ -append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyAMA0,115200n8 earlycon=pl011,mmio,0xFF000000,115200n8" \
+ -net nic,model=cadence_gem,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0 \
+ -device virtio-rng-device,bus=virtio-mmio-bus.0,rng=rng0 \
+ -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0
+
+Boot PetaLinux 2019.2 via ARM Trusted Firmware (2018.3 because the 2019.2
+version of ATF tries to configure the CCI which we don't model) and U-boot:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M xlnx-versal-virt -m 2G \
+ -serial stdio -display none \
+ -device loader,file=petalinux-v2018.3/bl31.elf,cpu-num=0 \
+ -device loader,file=petalinux-v2019.2/u-boot.elf \
+ -device loader,addr=0x20000000,file=petalinux-v2019.2/Image \
+ -nic user -nic user \
+ -device virtio-rng-device,bus=virtio-mmio-bus.0,rng=rng0 \
+ -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0
+
+Run the following at the U-Boot prompt:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
