Any idea of when qemu-system-arm will be supported for https://github.com/Intel-BMC/openbmc ?

Tue Mar 31 01:35:55 AEDT 2020

I was looking for something like a -M wolfpass-bmc command line option like Romulus has -M romulus-bmc
(see here: https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/development/dev-environment.md )

Yet I find no wolfpass, S2600WF, nor Intel in the -machine help list. (see below)
