+# Functional test that boots a Linux kernel on an sx1 machine
+# and checks the console. We have three variants:
+#  * just boot initrd
+#  * boot with filesystem on SD card
+#  * boot from flash
+# In all cases these images have a userspace that is configured
+# to immediately reboot the system on successful boot, so we
+# only need to wait for QEMU to exit (via -no-reboot).
