armvirt/64: change it to cortex-a53 instead of generic
Package architecture aarch64_generic [1] can be used just with three devices. One is NanoPI R2S and then there are two development boards from NXP. Let's change armvirt/64 to Cortex A53 (aarch64_cortex-a53) [2]. It has wider support by multiple devices like NanoPI Neo Plus2/Core2, ESPRESSObin, Pine64, and Raspberry Pi 2&3. While looking at ARMvirt/32 it has set CPU_TYPE and CPU_SUBTYPE to be arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4 [3]. It has support to devices like Linksys EA8500 v1, Linksys EA7500 v1, Netgear D7800, Netgear R7500 and so on. Tested with: qemu-system-aarch64 -m 1024 -smp 2 -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt -nographic \ -kernel openwrt-armvirt-64-Image-initramfs Successfully compiled and booted. Here goes the output: root@OpenWrt:/# uname -a Linux OpenWrt 5.4.82 #0 SMP Sun Dec 13 12:52:10 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/openwrt_release DISTRIB_ID='OpenWrt' DISTRIB_RELEASE='SNAPSHOT' DISTRIB_REVISION='r15207-96fca0f807' DISTRIB_TARGET='armvirt/64' DISTRIB_ARCH='aarch64_cortex-a53' DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r15207-96fca0f807' DISTRIB_TAINTS='no-all' Also, change BOARDNAME to be the same as it is in armvirt/32.
