As you can see above, your message is lacking all interesting
information - for QEMU usage, error message as well as what architecture
and board this is about in the first place.

If the error is coming from QEMU, i.e. failing to start executing
U-Boot, you should write to qemu-devel list instead. Depending on
architecture and board, your use case may simply not be supported by
QEMU yet or you have a mismatch between U-Boot and QEMU options.

Andreas
