Hi,
Sending this out in a slightly unfinished state to gauge if there's interest in having this included in U-Boot. Basically this allows running U-Boot under QEMU's '-machine virt' emulation, thus making it possible to boot Linux distros that use the extlinux.conf booting method under '-machine virt'.
I'm definitely interested, and I'm aware of others that are as well. Being able to do that an use things like virtio drivers and easily doing CPU/mem bits would be great.
I too would like to see this happen. Can you please make sure to update .travis.yml in the next iteration to add it to the list of qemu boards we run and pass tests to (and so also send a PR for the uboot hooks repo) ? Then we can see about follow-up work to enable more and more tests on this platform as well, thanks!
