--------------------------------
-The loader device allows memory values to be set from the command line. This

-     -device loader,addr=<addr>,data=<data>,data-len=<data-len>
-                   [,data-be=<data-be>][,cpu-num=<cpu-num>]
-
-    <addr>      - The address to store the data in.
-    <data>      - The value to be written to the address. The maximum size of
-                  the data is 8 bytes.
-    <data-len>  - The length of the data in bytes. This argument must be
-                  included if the data argument is.
-    <data-be>   - Set to true if the data to be stored on the guest should be
-                  written as big endian data. The default is to write little

-                  the memory address where the raw file is loaded or the entry

+
+Guest Loader
+------------
+
+The guest loader is similar to the `generic-loader` although it is
+aimed at a particular use case of loading hypervisor guests. This is
+useful for debugging hypervisors without having to jump through the
+hoops of firmware and boot-loaders.
+
+The guest loader does two things:
+
+  - load blobs (kernels and initial ram disks) into memory
+  - sets platform FDT data so hypervisors can find and boot them
+
+This is what is typically done by a boot-loader like grub using it's
+multi-boot capability. A typical example would look like:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  |qemu_system| -kernel ~/xen.git/xen/xen \
+    -append "dom0_mem=1G,max:1G loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all" \
+    -device guest-loader,addr=0x42000000,kernel=Image,bootargs="root=/dev/sda2 ro console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen" \
+    -device guest-loader,addr=0x47000000,initrd=rootfs.cpio
+
+In the above example the Xen hypervisor is loaded by the -kernel
+parameter and passed it's boot arguments via -append. The Dom0 guest
+is loaded into the areas of memory. Each blob will get
+`/chosen/module@<addr>` entry in the FDT to indicate it's location and
+size. Additional information can be passed with by using additional
+arguments.
+
+Currently the only supported machines which use FDT data to boot are
+the ARM and RiscV `virt` machines.
+
+Arguments
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+The full syntax of the guest-loader is::
+
+  -device guest-loader,addr=<addr>[,kernel=<file>,[bootargs=<args>]][,initrd=<file>]
+
+``addr=<addr>``
+  This is mandatory and indicates the start address of the blob.
+
+``kernel|initrd=<file>``
+  Indicates the filename of the kernel or initrd blob. Both blobs will
+  have the "multiboot,module" compatibility string as well as
+  "multiboot,kernel" or "multiboot,ramdisk" as appropriate.
+
+``bootargs=<args>``
+  This is an optional field for kernel blobs which will pass command
+  like via the `/chosen/module@<addr>/bootargs` node.

+Users should be aware the above example elides a lot of the complexity
+of setting up a VM with x86_64 specific defaults and assumes the
+first non switch argument is a PC compatible disk image with a boot
+sector. For a non-x86 system where we emulate a broad range of machine
+types, the command lines are generally more explicit in defining the
+machine and boot behaviour. You will find more example command lines
+in the :ref:`system-targets-ref` section of the manual.
