QEMU for PPC supports a special 'ppce500' machine designed for emulation and
virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.

+The QEMU ppce500 machine models a generic PowerPC e500 virtual machine with
support for the VirtIO standard networking device connected to the built-in
PCI host controller. Some common devices in the CCSBAR space are modeled,
including MPIC, 16550A UART devices, GPIO, I2C and PCI host controller with
Both qemu-system-ppc and qemu-system-ppc64 provide emulation for the following
32-bit PowerPC CPUs:
+* e500v1
* e500v2
* e500mc
This is because we only specified a core name to QEMU and it does not have a
meaningful SVR value which represents an actual SoC that integrates such core.
You can specify a real world SoC device that QEMU has built-in support but all

By default a VirtIO standard PCI networking device is connected as an ethernet
interface at PCI address 0.1.0, but we can switch that to an e1000 NIC by::
