Right now to run firmware inside the QEMU VExpress model requires
padding out the firmware image to the size of the virtual flash and
passing it in via the -pflash argument. If the firmware image is passed
without padding, then QEMU will fail. Also, when passed as a -pflash
argument, QEMU treats the file as persistent storage and will modify the
file.
The -bios flag provides the semantics that we want for providing a
firmware image. This patch maps the contents of the -bios file into the
address space at the boot flash location.
Tested with the vexpress-a15 model and the Tianocore port.
