- Build imx_v6_v7_defconfig
- Get root file system or initrd, for example from
  https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/arm
- Run image. Example, with initrd:
	qemu-system-arm -M mcimx6ul-evk -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage \
		-no-reboot -initrd rootfs-armv7a.cpio \
		-m 256 -display none -serial null \
		--append 'rdinit=/sbin/init earlycon=ec_imx6q,mmio,0x21e8000,115200n8 console=ttymxc1,115200'
		-dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6ul-14x14-evk.dtb \
		-nographic -monitor null -serial stdio

qemu has to be v3.1 or later to support the machine.

Hope this helps,
