I tried with a zed_zynq built u-boot.bin and u-boot.dtb built from u-boot-2014.10 release, and got slightly different results:
qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0xfffffff0.
Then a register dump.
Oh well, thanks for the pointers in your previous message, will read for clues.

I suppose the uboot.bin files you are talking about are binaries that had been converted with objcopy or similar from ELF to binary. That probably works well. The Zynq boot.bin is a container file that contains the Zynq bootloader and (optionally) other things (like U-Boot). I doubt QEMU is able to parse this Zynq specific file (though, it's all documented, so it could be implemented I guess). So, you probably want to pass the u-boot.elf as kernel, but I don't know to what extend that works currently. For that we need input from Peter. For more information about the Zynq boot.bin format, please have a look at section 6.3.2 in the Zynq TRM ( http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug585-Zynq-7000-TRM.... ) and the Zynq SW developer guide ( http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug821-zynq-7000-swde... ).

For versatilepb arm, there's a blog post that describes a recipe of how
to
build and boot "uboot.bin" in qemu. It works fine, here's the link if you're interested. https://balau82.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/u-boot-for-arm-on-qemu/
I assumed that uboot was standardized enough so that it would work the
same
for other machine/board emulations. I'd like to understand why it's not working.
The problem I'm trying to solve is to configure networking in uboot for
the
xilinx-zynq-a9 bsp for vxworks7 running under qemu. Vxworks7 uses uboot where 6.9 didn't, and the default device tree isn't set correctly for my network, it just has some random defaults that are expected to be customized. The alternative is to use real hardware, which should work well enough for debugging but in general it's much easier to debug and
run
tests in qemu especially when working remotely.
So any ideas you might have on what's special about zynq utboot would be appreciated.

I don't think boot.bin is a legal "kernel". IIRC, I had issues running on QEMU, but it was slightly better than what you describe.
