[Qemu-devel] More platforms for the wiki

On this page I found a huge list of QEMU emulators. I haven't heard  
of most of them, but some of them are not on the platforms page. Do  
you think we should add the missing ones?

qemu-system-aarch64
qemu-system-alpha
qemu-system-arm
qemu-system-cris
qemu-system-i386
qemu-system-lm32

They are.  AARCH64 is ARM, microblazeel is little-endian microblaze,
ppcemb is embedded PowerPC (Book-E), and so on.

A lot of them are 32-bit/64-bit and little-/big-endian variants of an
architecture.

The unique ones I see are:

ARM, Alpha, Cris, i386, lm32, m68k, Microblaze, MIPS, Moxie, OR32, PPC,
SH4, SPARC, Tricore, Unicore32, and xtensa.

Whew!  That's 16 architectures.

Some of the 32- vs 64-bit variants have big differences in instruction
sets and features.  However, people searching for information may not
know when to search for the specific variant versus when to look for the
common architecture.

I think it is simpler to house variants on a single wiki page (i.e.  ARM
for both aarch64 and arm).  Then we can use Mediawiki redirects to also
catch the specific variant names.

But ultimately it's up to the wiki page authors to decide.

s390 and tile are missing in this list.

The s390x does have its own page already. TileGX still needs a page.

I'll add a page for the TriCore platform.

Thank you so much. If you need any help or suggestions just ask. If  
you have pictures of the TriCore emulator running software, I would  
really like to post these on the wiki page.

Unfortunately there is not much to show right now since I don't have any
devices implemented upstream.

Any comments on the page?

Excellent job. I would add a description section that briefly talks  
about what TriCore is.

A links section would also be useful. This could be to other web  
pages that have more info, or youtube videos of the emulator running.  
Whatever you feel would be of use/interest to the reader.

I don't know much about TriCore, but I did find several youtube  
videos that look like this one:
