UniCore is a real silicon product, integrated into PKUnity SoC, and sold
in a large amount of embedded boxes, such as cloud terminals and set top
boxes. Since we provide complete product solutions, few users use QEmu
directly to simulate the booting and running of unicore32-linux runtime
system.
For me, I still maintain unicore32 port, and I really appreciate having
unicore32 port in the tree.
