[PATCH v1 4/4] selftests/nolibc: add some notes about qemu tools
From: Zhangjin Wu
Date: Sat Aug 05 2023 - 15:51:39 EST
Almost all distributions provide qemu-system-$(XARCH), their firmwares
and qemu-$(XARCH), but for the new riscv and loongarch, users may still
need to download external firmwares or compile qemu from scratch, let's
add some notes about them.
