QEMU allows to emulate a processor (even of different architecture). We cross-compile to aarch64 and arm64, among others. Even though developers run tests on those architectures sporadically, it would be nice if there was documentation or a script in our repo on how to do that in QEMU.
[help needed] Add notes on how to run unit and functional tests in QEMU #16576

What do you mean by this? Like how to setup such a system?

No need to ask for permission if you want to help out. :)

Ideally where should such a script or scripts be located? Should I do one in
/bitcoin/src/testfor the unit tests and a separate one in/bitcoin/test/functionalfor the functional tests? -

I think that's totally ok :)

Oh, I forgot that this already exists: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/docs/pull/49

Not a problem @MarcoFalke. Some version of it is still needed for AArch64 and ARM64 (in lieu of RISC-V) as in #16576 (comment)?

Or I could build on that PR on setting up RISC-V emulation for testing and generalise it by adding more information to it. The documents will be in different locations so some overlapping of contents should not be that much of a big deal.
