Currently for both qemu-system-arm and qemu-system-aarch64 the default board model if the user doesn't specify one is the 'integratorcp'. This is a totally arbitrary historical accident since it was the first board to be modelled. That board is now just one target among many for us, and is a very poor choice of default: * it's an ancient board that is now only found in the junkpiles of longtime ARM/Linux hackers, if at all * it's an ARMv5 CPU, when most distros are now assuming ARMv7 * it's pretty much unmaintained in QEMU * it doesn't even have versatilepb's advantage of supporting PCI Making it or any other board the default serves only to confuse people new to ARM who expect something more like the x86 monoculture. Remove the is_default marker from integratorcp, and don't set it for any other board, to give users a nudge that they need to think about which board they want a QEMU model of. (QEMU will produce the admittedly slightly cryptic error "No machine found.") Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> --- hw/arm/integratorcp.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
