As a firmware developer, I want vemu to finish its Cortex-A7 quad-core (BCM2836) model, so that I can depend on raspberry Pi 2 v1.1 (32-bit) for production firmware, not just the common path.

Why it matters

Raspberry Pi 2 v1.1 (32-bit)

Summary

4x Cortex-A7 (ARMv7-A) with SMP

Scope of work

Partially modeled. Complete the missing mechanics of Cortex-A7 quad-core (BCM2836). What it is: 4x Cortex-A7 (ARMv7-A) with SMP. Why it matters: Raspberry Pi 2 v1.1 (32-bit).

Current state

Status: Partially implemented. Notes / evidence: ARMv7-A interpreter exists; A7-specific modeling and SMP missing.

Blocked by 2

Fund these first - this work can't be completed until they ship.
