Yes; cortex-m3 will only work on machine types that are expecting it (ie which instantiate the M profile NVIC interrupt controller, which is really an integral part of the CPU).
We should catch this case and make QEMU exit with a more helpful message. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766896 Title: qemu-system-arm segfault in arm_v7m_mmu_idx_for_secstate Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Attempting to emulate some baremetal ARM cortex-M* firmware with gdb causes a segfault every time. qemu invocation: qemu-system-arm -machine none -cpu cortex-m3 -nographic -monitor null -serial null -s -S -device loader,file=firmware.elf qemu seems to startup fine with that command. Segfault happens as soon as I connect from another console with arm-none-eabi-gdb firmware.elf > target remote localhost:1234 # qemu segfaults, and kills arm-none-eabi-gdb along with it Here's a bt
