82 For a non-x86 system where we emulate a broad range of machine types,
88 command line to launch VMs, we do want to highlight that there are a
152 In the following example we first define a ``virt`` machine which is a
153 general purpose platform for running Aarch64 guests. We enable
154 virtualisation so we can use KVM inside the emulated guest. As the
155 ``virt`` machine comes with some built in pflash devices we give them
156 names so we can override the defaults later.
164 We then define the 4 vCPUs using the ``max`` option which gives us all
165 the Arm features QEMU is capable of emulating. We enable a more
167 algorithm. We explicitly specify TCG acceleration even though QEMU
177 devices we need to define them. We give them ids so we can link them
186 We connect the user-mode networking to our network device. As
188 we forward localhost port 2222 to the ssh port on the guest.
194 We connect the guest visible block device to an LVM partition we have
201 We then tell QEMU to multiplex the :ref:`QEMU monitor` with the serial
202 port output (we can switch between the two using :ref:`keys in the
204 device we disable the display as we can work entirely in the terminal.
211 Finally we override the default firmware to ensure we have some
