They probably have a ROM (which should be the real "-machine firmware=...") that loads firmware from NAND flash ("-drive if=mtd,file=...") into RAM, and then gets out of the way. Perhaps it's what QEMU should do, but not even the few machines that support "-drive if=mtd" do it to this level of accuracy. Paolo
