That was useful.

After hacking qemu to accept the ELF start address and to set
initial_msp to 0 (a whopping 6-line patch), I get a bit further.
The boot now hangs because the devicetree blob is not recognized.
Does qemu load and pass the provided dtb file ? I didn't
immediately find any code doing it for armv7m/an385.

Thanks,
