Here I'd add:

       if (strcmp(machine->cpu_type, ARM_CPU_TYPE_NAME("cortex-a7")) != 0) {
           error_report("This board can only be used with cortex-a7 CPU");
           exit(1);
       }

Done!

I'm not sure if that's correct but I'd simply use &error_abort here.

Done, I applied it to all the functions and removed the err variable.

I'd only allow machine->ram_size == 1 * GiB here, since the onboard DRAM
is not upgradable.

Agree, we should add something for that. Would it be acceptable if we make the 1GB an upper limit?
I see that the Raspberry Pi is doing that too in hw/arm/raspi.c, like so:

    if (machine->ram_size > 1 * GiB) {
        error_report("Requested ram size is too large for this machine: "
                     "maximum is 1GB");
        exit(1);
    }

I think it would be helpful to allow the flexibility to the user of reducing the RAM to less than 1GB,
in case resources of the host OS are limited. What do you think?

        mc->default_cpu_type = ARM_CPU_TYPE_NAME("cortex-a7");

You should not use this flag in new design. See the documentation in
include/hw/boards.h:

  * @ignore_memory_transaction_failures:
  *    [...] New board models
  *    should instead use "unimplemented-device" for all memory ranges where
  *    the guest will attempt to probe for a device that QEMU doesn't
  *    implement and a stub device is required.

You already use the "unimplemented-device".

Thanks, I'm working on this now. I think that at least I'll need to add
all of the devices mentioned in the 4.1 Memory Mapping chapter of the datasheet
as an unimplemented device. Previously I only added some that I thought were relevant.

I added all the missing devices as unimplemented and removed the ignore_memory_transaction_failures flag
from the machine. Now it seems Linux gets a data abort while probing the uart1 serial device at 0x01c28400,
so I'll need to debug it further. I'll post back when I have more results.

Regards,
Niek

Can you name it 'orangepi-pc'? So we can add other orangepi models.

Thanks,

Phil.
