Using the example command from the README file does not work as expected. qemu shows a text similar to the one below and it hangs.
$ qemu-system-mips -L . -nographic Could not open option rom 'pxe-pcnet.rom': No such file or directory qemu-system-mips: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "vgabios-cirrus.bin" qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 19726
This happens because qemu emulates a Malta board by default if the machine type is not defined explicitely on the command line.
For a working test, the '-M mips' switch is required:
$ qemu-system-mips -M mips -L . -nographic Could not open option rom 'vgabios.bin': No such file or directory
