QEMU Virtual Armory

##Introduction

It is often useful to have a test environment independent of hardware. This environment is based on a Versatile Express board with a Cortex-A9 cpu; this hardware was chosen for Trustzone and Cortex-A9 support in QEMU-tz, and Versatile Express with A9 support in uBoot. This should provide a low risk way to test Secure Boot, for example.

Procedure

• Build QEMU-uBoot
• Build QEMU-Kernel
• Build QEMU-TrustZone
