Hi,

Upstream u-boot ships a config for qemu. It would be nice to have the u-boot
package build this. I tested it on armhf and arm64. Qemu can be started with
"-bios /path/to/u-boot.bin". All that is needed is a boot.src or
extlinux.conf. On a clean install with d-i, running u-boot-update (from
u-boot-menu) is enough. Flash-kernel could probably support this too, but it
would need to be updated.

If you think this is a good idea, I can write a patch (or create a merge
request) that creates a u-boot-qemu package. I wonder if this would be
usefull on other architectures (besided arm*).

Cheers,

Ivo
