Is there any cortex a15 board emulated in linaro?
You don't say specifically but I'm going to assume you mean "in qemu-linaro".
I'm working on a patchset for the Versatile Express A15 board. This is currently in the "upstream review" stage. There are some big caveats, though: * the A15 CPU emulated will *not* include emulation of LPAE, Virtualization extensions or TrustZone; you can boot a Linux kernel compiled for A15-without-LPAE, but this is definitely not going to be of any use to you if you wanted to test Xen/KVM/hypervisor type code on a model. * this is not (at least initially) going to be a "supported" platform model for Linaro, as it is primarily intended to help us as we work on KVM for the Cortex-A15. So you can try it but we don't promise to do anything if it doesn't work :-) * there is not as yet any Linaro "hardware pack" for the A15, so you will be on your own for putting together a kernel, user space, etc.
Having said that, it's quite likely a vexpress-a15 will appear in qemu-linaro 2012.02.
