Boot the AST2700 machine from the flash image.
There are two supported methods for booting the AST2700 machine with a flash image:
Manual boot using ``-device loader``:
It causes all 4 CPU cores to start execution from address ``0x430000000``, which
corresponds to the BL31 image load address.

Boot using a virtual boot ROM (``-bios``):
If users do not specify the ``-bios option``, QEMU will attempt to load the
default vbootrom image ``ast27x0_bootrom.bin`` from either the current working
directory or the ``pc-bios`` directory within the QEMU source tree.
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M ast2700-evb \

The ``-bios`` option allows users to specify a custom path for the vbootrom
image to be loaded during boot. This will load the vbootrom image from the
specified path in the ${HOME} directory.
.. code-block:: bash
-bios ${HOME}/ast27x0_bootrom.bin
