Test with coreboot
------------------
For testing U-Boot as the coreboot payload, there are things that need be paid
Test with QEMU
--------------
QEMU is a fancy emulator that can enable us to test U-Boot without access to
-a real x86 board. To launch QEMU with u-boot.rom, call QEMU as follows:
+a real x86 board. Please make sure your QEMU version is 2.3.0 or above test
+U-Boot. To launch QEMU with u-boot.rom, call QEMU as follows:
$ qemu-system-i386 -nographic -bios path/to/u-boot.rom
for PCI device memory-mapped I/O and other stuff, so the maximum value of '-m'
would be 3072.
+QEMU emulates a graphic card which U-Boot supports. Removing '-nographic' will
+show QEMU's VGA console window. Note this will disable QEMU's serial output.
+If you want to check both consoles, use '-serial stdio'.

CPU Microcode

Modern CPUs usually require a special bit stream called microcode [6] to be
