Yes, I had brought this up at an openQA presentation months ago, but it was never followed up upon. Let's CC Bernhard: What needs to be done to add "qemu-system-arm -machine something" based tests to openQA so that people can add and edit Needles? As I understood Alex, the biggest hurdle inside QEMU is that not every machine (well, hardly any apparently) is able to boot the real U-Boot, whether via -bios directly or via -drive/-pflash from JeOS disk image. For instance, vexpress-a9, vexpress-a15, highbank, midway, xilinx-zynq-a9 and cubieboard are among the -machine options that we might test using -kernel directly, if openQA allows that.
