# The xPack QEMU Arm
A standalone cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux) **QEMU Arm**
binary distribution, intended for reproducible builds.
In addition to the the binary archives and the package meta data,
this project also includes the build scripts.
## Overview
This open source project is hosted on GitHub as
[`xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm-xpack`](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm-xpack)
and provides the platform specific binaries for the
[xPack QEMU Arm](https://xpack.github.io/qemu-arm/).
This distribution is based on an current release of the official
[QEMU](https://www.qemu.org).
For compatibility reasons, it also provides the `qemu-system-gnuarmeclipse`,
which reached end-of-life.
The binaries can be installed automatically as **binary xPacks** or manually as
**portable archives**.
## Release schedule
This distribution plans to follow the official QEMU major releases,
possibly with intermediate releases if necessary.
For `qemu-system-gnuarmeclipse`,
which reached end-of-life, there are no planned releases.
## User info
This section is intended as a shortcut for those who plan
to use the QEMU Arm binaries. For full details please read the
[xPack QEMU Arm](https://xpack.github.io/qemu-arm/) pages.
### Easy install
The easiest way to install QEMU Arm is using the **binary xPack**, available as
[`@xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm)
from the [`npmjs.com`](https://www.npmjs.com) registry.
#### Prerequisites
A recent [xpm](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/),
which is a portable [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) command line application
that complements [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com)
with several extra features specific to
**C/C++ projects**.
It is recommended to install/update to the latest version with:
```sh
npm install --location=global xpm@latest
```
For details please follow the instructions in the
[xPack install](https://xpack.github.io/install/) page.
#### Install
With the `xpm` tool available, installing
the latest version of the package and adding it as
a development dependency for a project is quite easy:
```sh
cd my-project
xpm init # Add a package.json if not already present
xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm@latest --verbose
ls -l xpacks/.bin
```
This command will:
- install the latest available version,
into the central xPacks store, if not already there
- add symbolic links to the central store
(or `.cmd` forwarders on Windows) into
the local `xpacks/.bin` folder.
The central xPacks store is a platform dependent
location in the home folder;
check the output of the `xpm` command for the actual
folder used on your platform.
This location is configurable via the environment variable
`XPACKS_STORE_FOLDER`; for more details please check the
[xpm folders](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/folders/) page.
For xPacks aware tools, like the **Eclipse Embedded C/C++ plug-ins**,
it is also possible to install QEMU globally, in the user home folder:
```sh
xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm@latest --verbose
```
Eclipse will automatically
identify binaries installed with
`xpm` and provide a convenient method to manage paths.
After install, the package should create a structure like this (macOS files;
only the first two depth levels are shown):
```console

13 directories, 40 files
```
No other files are installed in any system folders or other locations.
#### Uninstall
The binaries are distributed as portable archives; thus they do not need
to run a setup and do not require an uninstall; simply removing the
folder is enough.
To remove the links created by xpm in the current project:
```sh
cd my-project
xpm uninstall @xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm
```
To completely remove the package from the central xPack store:
```sh
xpm uninstall --global @xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm
```
### Manual install
For all platforms, the **xPack QEMU Arm**
binaries are released as portable
archives that can be installed in any location.
The archives can be downloaded from the
GitHub [Releases](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm-xpack/releases/)
page.
For more details please read the
[Install](https://xpack.github.io/qemu-arm/install/) page.
### Versioning
The version strings used by the QEMU project are three number strings
like `8.2.6`; to this string the xPack distribution adds a four number,
but since semver allows only three numbers, all additional ones can
be added only as pre-release strings, separated by a dash,
like `8.2.6-1`. When published as a npm package, the version gets
a fifth number, like `8.2.6-1.1`.
Since adherence of third party packages to semver is not guaranteed,
it is recommended to use semver expressions like `^8.2.6` and `~8.2.6`
with caution, and prefer exact matches, like `8.2.6-1.1`.
## Maintainer info
For maintainer info, please see the
[README-MAINTAINER](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm-xpack/blob/xpack/README-MAINTAINER.md).
## Apple Silicon notice
Due to the major changes in macOS for Apple Silicon, the old
`qemu-system-gnuarmeclipse` sources cannot be used and an Apple Silicon
binary will not be available. A major update for xPack QEMU is
planned for 2022, and some boards may be migrated to `qemu-system-arm`.
## Support
The quick advice for getting support is to use the GitHub
[Discussions](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/qemu-arm-xpack/discussions/).
