+LoongArch System emulator
+-------------------------
+
+QEMU can emulate loongArch 64 bit systems via the
+``qemu-system-loongarch64`` binary. Only one machine type ``virt`` is
+supported.
+
+When using KVM as accelerator, QEMU can emulate la464 cpu model. And when
+using the default cpu model with TCG as accelerator, QEMU will emulate a
+subset of la464 cpu features that should be enough to run distributions
+built for the la464.
