+Use the executable @file{qemu-system-avr} to emulates a AVR 8 bit based machine having one for the following cores: avr1, avr2, avr25, avr3, avr31, avr35, avr4, avr5, avr51, avr6, avrtiny, xmega2, xmega3, xmega4, xmega5, xmega6 and xmega7.
+
+As for now it does not support any real MCUs. However, it does support a "sample" board for educational and testing purposes. This "sample" board hosts USART & 16 bit timer devices and it's enought to run FreeRTOS based applicaton (like this @url{https://github.com/seharris/qemu-avr-tests/blob/master/free-rtos/Demo/AVR_ATMega2560_GCC/demo.elf,,demo})
+
+Following are examples of possible usages, assuming program.elf is compiled for AVR cpu
+@itemize
+
+@item Continious non interrupted execution
+@example
+qemu-system-avr -kernel program.elf
+@end example
+
+@item Continious non interrupted execution with serial output into telnet window
+@example
+qemu-system-avr -kernel program.elf -serial tcp::5678,server,nowait -nographic
+@end example
+and then in another shell
+@example
+telent localhost 5678
+@end example
+
+@item Continious non interrupted execution with serial output into stdout
+@example
+qemu-system-avr -kernel program.elf -serial stdio
+@end example
+
+@item Debugging wit GDB debugger
+@example
+qemu-system-avr -kernel program.elf -s -S
+@end example
