PS5:
what is the reason for using both -bios and -pflash? […]
If I only use -pflash QEMU will start OpenSBI and skip coreboot alltogether. If I only use -bios than QEMU will place coreboot in DRAM, but will not give us a flash as backing storage (which we need to fetch CBFS stuff from). If I use -pflash and `-bios none` than QEMU will jump to Flash with XIP. That is also something we could support, but it is a bit inconvenient and not done in coreboot yet for RISC-V and ARM I think. If I use both -pflash and -bios coreboot.rom then QEMU will place coreboot in DRAM (like on current AMD platforms I think) and give us a backing storage to pull CBFS stages and stuff from.
It is a bit confusing.
