I've used buildroot to compile a firmware targetting the LPC EA3250 board, I'm trying to get this to run using qemu so that I can test changes to the firmware on my machine. I've tried commands such as:

 qemu-system-arm -M virt -kernel uImage -hda rootfs.ext2 -boot c -m 128M -append "root=/dev/sda rw console=ttyS0,38400n8"

But I keep getting similar errors no matter which -M option I apply. It seems that somehow I need to get a new machine option to pass qemu which will correspond to my board. I've found this config file which seems to be the configuration needed for the board I'm looking at.

What I would like to know is how to insert this config into qemu. Do I have to place this config somewhere and then recompile everything? If I do where do I need to put it?

On further investigation it seems that the config file I found is for something else entirely. The LPC EA3250 is not supported by qemu and adding in support for additional machines is an extensive task.
