OK, fair enough. Still, Qemu with ARC support is not sidely available (e.h .it's not ins distros), and we do not have a way to easily build it from source, leaving to the user the duty to find how to do get such a Qemu. And since you point to the source tree (which is nice), it implies one has to build from source on their own, which we know is a bit tedious... > And I think when ARCv3 > support is added to Buildroot *When* is the key word here. I know Alexey has said he was looking into it, but IIRC the topic has been pending since last August, so I would like to decorelate the two topics. > it can be used to test it, too. That does not change the fact that it is a forked version, not readily available, that we do not build in Buildroot, and that the user has to manually build from source on their own, which is still problematic. > I thought it would be nice to have instead of only rely on the nsim > defconfig we have now. That I agree on, but I don;t think it is a good-enough reason to be using a non-upstream Qemu. > Can we keep it? What others say? "Mom, dad, it's a cute doggy/kitten/duck/poney/hedghog! Can we keep it?" Let's see what other maintainers think, of course. And in any case, that does not diminish the fact that the commit log should contain a proper rationale. Regards, Yann E.
