+ :term:`QB_DEFAULT_BIOS`
+ the `QB_DEFAULT_BIOS` variable can be used to add the ``-bios`` option to
+ the initialization parameters of QEMU. For example, this parameter can be
+ set as follows to emulate U-Boot for the :oecore_path:`qemuarm64
+ <meta/conf/machine/qemuarm64.conf>` machine::

+ QB_DEFAULT_BIOS = "u-boot.bin"

+ The above example makes the assumption you have built the U-Boot recipe
+ and that the ``u-boot.bin`` file is located in the
+ :term:`DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE` directory.
