[U-Boot-Users] can u-boot run standalone in qemu(qemu-system-arm) without kernel image(for mainstone II)

hi, all

I'm a newbie to both u-boot and qemu. Maybe it's a silly question, but I can not find the solution through the Internet for almost 2 weeks, sorry :(

Here is my question:

I wanna run u-boot as a standalone app (or image?) in qemu, and I do't wanna any create linux image. Is that possible? I just wanna to study u-boot.

And now, my idea is to create a flash image with u-boot, how about this way?

Any reply would be appreciated. Thank you in advance :)
