# LoongArch System emulator

QEMU can emulate loongArch 64 bit systems via the `qemu-system-loongarch64` binary. Only one machine type `virt` is supported.

When using KVM as accelerator, QEMU can emulate la464 cpu model. And when using the default cpu model with TCG as accelerator, QEMU will emulate a subset of la464 cpu features that should be enough to run distributions built for the la464.
