Hello, The PPC 405 CPU and ref405ep machine was deprecated in QEMU 9.1 because there are no known users, firmware images are not available, OpenWRT dropped support in 2019, U-Boot in 2017, and Linux in 2024.
Continue the phase-out process and remove tests, plus boards. The 405 CPU implementation is kept for a while because it is possible to model the power management (OCC) co-processor found on the IBM POWER [8-11] processors. Thanks, C. Changes in v2: - keep CPU implementation (for OCC possible models) Cédric Le Goater (3): ppc/ppc405: Remove tests ppc/ppc405: Remove boards hw/ppc: Deprecate 405 CPUs MAINTAINERS | 6 - docs/about/deprecated.rst | 17 +- docs/about/removed-features.rst | 7 + docs/system/ppc/embedded.rst | 1 - hw/ppc/ppc405.h | 186 ----- hw/ppc/ppc405_boards.c | 520 ------------- hw/ppc/ppc405_uc.c | 1216 ------------------------------ tests/qtest/m48t59-test.c | 5 - hw/ppc/Kconfig | 9 - hw/ppc/meson.build | 3 - tests/functional/meson.build | 1 - tests/functional/test_ppc_405.py | 37 - tests/qtest/meson.build | 1 - 13 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 1993 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 hw/ppc/ppc405.h delete mode 100644 hw/ppc/ppc405_boards.c delete mode 100644 hw/ppc/ppc405_uc.c delete mode 100755 tests/functional/test_ppc_405.py -- 2.48.1
