More technical details at Issue #86: Get lm32 firmware running under qemu to enable testing without hardware on HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware repo
Currently to do firmware development you need access to FPGA hardware. Using QEmu it should be possible to enable developers to develop and improve the firmware without hardware.
People are able to write new features for the HDMI2USB firmware and develop MicroPython for FPGAs using QEmu.
LiteX QEmu Simulation support Random Notes Document
Just dropping a note so that people know a good amount of work on this has been done in qemu-litex
mithro (IRC): some basic stuff can now be done without FPGA hardware.
[LiteX] QEmu simulation of a LiteX generated SoC

Brief explanation
Currently to do firmware development you need access to FPGA hardware. Using QEmu it should be possible to enable developers to develop and improve the firmware without hardware.
Expected results
People are able to write new features for the HDMI2USB firmware and develop MicroPython for FPGAs using QEmu.
