+Running QEMU in OpenCI
+-----------------------
+
+Linaro's continuous integration platform OpenCI supports running emulated tests
+on QEMU. The tests are kicked off on Jenkins and deployed through the Linaro
+Automation and Validation Architecture `LAVA`_.
+
+There are a set of Linux boot tests provided in OpenCI. They rely on prebuilt
+`binaries`_ for UEFI, the kernel, root file system, as well as, any other TF-A
+dependencies, and are run as part of the OpenCI TF-A `daily job`_. To run them
+manually, a `builder`_ job may be triggered with the test configuration
+``qemu-boot-tests``.
+
+
+You may see the following warning repeated several times in the boot logs:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ pflash_write: Write to buffer emulation is flawed
+
+Please ignore this as it is an unresolved `issue in QEMU`_, it is an internal
+QEMU warning that logs flawed use of "write to buffer".
+
+.. note::
+ For more information on how to trigger jobs in OpenCI, please refer to
+ Linaro's CI documentation, which explains how to trigger a `manual job`_.
