Thanks for the suggestion! > 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've been hesitant to include the qemu targets in the past, but if it would actually be useful to people, I could see enabling u-boot-qemu for at least arm64, armhf and *maybe* some of the mips, ppc, x86 and x86_64 targets. U-Boot v2019.09-rc3 contains: qemu-ppce500_defconfig qemu_arm64_defconfig qemu_mips64el_defconfig qemu-x86_64_defconfig qemu_arm_defconfig qemu_mips_defconfig qemu-x86_defconfig qemu_mips64_defconfig qemu_mipsel_defconfig I would want to have a documented way of what it actually takes to use them, upstream and/or in README.Debian. I've tried some of these targets in the past and was unable to figure it out, but it's been a while. There are also patches for riscv submitted upstream, which might be useful for riscv64 while real hardware is still quite limited: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2018-September/339977.html live well, vagrant
