+Debugging with QEMU
+================================
+
+The nuttx ELF image can be debugged with QEMU.
+
+1. Before debugging, following change (enabling wfi instruction in up_idle)
+   is recommended to reduce CPU usage on host PC.
+

+   /* Sleep until an interrupt occurs to save power */
+
+-#if 0
++#if 1
+   asm("WFI");  /* For example */
+ #endif
+ #endif
+
+2. Also, to debug the nuttx (ELF) with symbols, following change must
+   be applied to defconfig.
+

+
+3. Run QEMU
+
+   Run qemu with following options, these options do not load nuttx.
+   Instead, just stops the emulated CPU like "reset halt" with OpenOCD.
+
+   $ qemu-system-arm -M sabrelite -smp 4 -nographic -s -S
+
+   NOTE: -smp 4 option should be used for both nsh configuration
+   (non-SMP) and smp configuration (regardless of CONFIG_SMP_NCPUS)
+
+   To quit QEMU, type Ctrl-A + X
+
+3. Run gdb, connect to QEMU, load nuttx and continue
