Running Emulation of Raspberry Pi

Emulating Raspberry Pi using QEMU on Ubuntu

In order to use the emulator, you must install QEMU emulator that emulates ARM on your computer. sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu virt-manager virt-viewer libvirt-bin When you are done, you'll need a Raspberry Pi kernel and a disk image that has contents of SD card on the physical Raspberry Pi.

Once you have everything, make a bash file called config and write into the following: #!/bin/bash # Starts raspberry pi image in configuration mode

qemu-system-arm -kernel ./qemu-rpi-kernel/kernel-qemu-4.4.34-jessie -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot``-serial stdio -append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw init=/bin/bash" -hda /dev/mmcblk0

You can change the last part -hda /dev/mmcblk0 to any location you want. Please know the location of your SD Card! Also for -kernel: Change the path to the location of the kernel image!

When you want to run the emulation: type sudo ./config

That's it. You get the emulation
