User input arguments to QEMU

Question

Hello, 
 
 I'm using QEMU via command line to run an A5 bare-metal executable that I built with CCES 2.12.0. I'm able to run the executable as per the instructions in the Appendix A - Simulation Environment Selection for Different Purposes :

qemu-system-arm -semihosting -cpu adsp-sc589 -kernel armprogram

What I'm currently not able to do is to pass user arguments to the ARM program. Appending those arguments via the -append option or just attaching them to the command above don't seem to help and I always get argc=0 in my main() function.. 
I've also tried to read the /proc/cmdline file and read the environment variables, none of which have helped.

Is it possible to achieved that somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 
 Apologies for the confusion here. 
 Unfortunately, GNU ARM Bare-Metal applications does not support argc/argv. Therefore, the argc/argv was removed from an ARM project's source file generation itself.
