This certainly seems like a good idea in principle, if there's enough information in the SVD files to reliably create a complete board model. The obvious issue that comes to mind is licensing, though -- what licenses are the SVD files under, and would those be compatible with QEMU's GPLv2 ? thanks -- PMM
