Set up QEMU for T2080 emulation

[xiaoxing_fang]

Hi,

I'm trying to use QEMU (qemu-system-ppc64) for emulating QorIQ T2080 in windows10. However, I couldn't find any -machine option that matches -cpu e6500 option, so that I am wondering if it's possible to proceed such emulation or not? 

If anyone know, please send me the procedure for setting up QEMU for such emulation. Your kind help will be  very appreciated. 

I list the -machine list below:

I'm new to board development. Can you please help me to create T2080 qemu emulator in windows and if possible install PikeOS on it. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your reply, Yiping. Does it mean that we can just use -cpu e6500  -M ppce500 options when emulating T2080 (e6500 cores) and for other options, there is no need to change? Is there any approach to verify this setup (for example, with a bare metal elf running in T2080)? Thanks again!
