Okay, so I have this bug report for QEMU where the ast2700a0-evb machine hangs in U-Boot when trying to determine the RAM size if it's not set to 8 GB. Let me try to understand what's going on here.
First, looking at the steps to reproduce: when using a BE host and running QEMU with -m 1g, the machine hangs. But when setting it to 8g, it works fine. The same applies to the ast2700a1-evb machine; both 1g and 8g work without issues.
The problem seems specific to the ast2700a0-evb model when RAM isn't set to 8 GB. U-Boot reports DRAM as 8 GiB but then says effective 0 Bytes, which doesn't make sense. So maybe there's an issue with how QEMU is handling the memory configuration for this machine type.
I know that QEMU uses device trees to describe hardware to the guest OS. If the RAM size isn't correctly set in the device tree for ast2700a0-evb, U-Boot might not be able to read it properly, leading to a hang or incorrect values.
Looking at possible categories: This seems related to how QEMU configures devices and their properties, especially memory. The issue arises during boot when U-Boot is trying to determine the RAM size. Since this is about hardware configuration in QEMU's device model, it might fall under "peripherals" because we're dealing with machine-specific hardware components like the DRAM controller or memory setup.
Other categories like "network" or "graphic" don't seem relevant here. It's not a translation issue ("mistranslation") since this is about hardware configuration in the device tree, which is part of the lower-level device modeling rather than instruction translation.
So, I think the category should be "peripherals."

The bug report involves an issue with the ast2700a0-evb machine hanging during U-Boot's RAM size determination unless set to 8 GB. This points to a problem in how QEMU configures the device tree for memory, affecting hardware-specific behavior.
