the CMSIS packs and especially the SVD files (my GNU ARM Eclipse J-link plug-in 
uses the SVD files available in CMSIS packs to examine/modify the peripheral 
registers) contain quite detailed descriptions of the actual hardware, it would 
be great if the emulator could make use of interesting entries, like memory 
map, and, at least partially, support any existing device.

but I guess this is way beyond the scope of this project.
