Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] doc: qemu-riscv: Update documentation for QEMU spike machine
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2022 11:41:10 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220127061110.721103-5-apatel@ventanamicro.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220127061110.721103-1-apatel@ventanamicro.com>

We can now use same U-Boot images on both QEMU virt machine and QEMU
spike machine so let's update the QEMU RISC-V documentation.
