 |
|
Hi,
I want to emulate the Raspberry PI 4 with Qemu. I created a SD-card according to User:NeddySeagoon/Raspberry Pi4 64 Bit Install. From the SD-card I created a QCOW2 image with qemu-img. I copied the kernel and the dtb-file for the RPI4.
| Code: | $ ls -l
total 5934992
-rw-r--r-- 1 samo samo 40697 5. Jan 00:59 bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb
-rw-r--r-- 1 samo samo 13392384 5. Jan 00:58 kernel8.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 samo samo 5368709120 5. Jan 00:56 raspberrypi4.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 samo samo 2463105024 5. Jan 01:05 raspberrypi4.qcow
-rwxr--r-- 1 samo samo 266 5. Jan 13:55 start_raspberry.sh
|
For starting I use the following script:
| Code: | $ cat start_raspberry.sh
#!/bin/bash
exec qemu-system-arm \
-kernel ./kernel8.img \
-append "root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw" \
-hda ./raspberrypi4.qcow \
-cpu arm1176 -m 256 \
-M versatilepb \
-no-reboot \
-serial stdio \
-net nic -net user \
-dtb ./bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb \
$@
|
But when I run the script, nothing happens:
| Code: | $ ./start_raspberry.sh
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed
pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed
pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
|
What could be wrong?

When I do the same with a raspbian image it works.

samo,
You probably cannot a emulate a whole raspberry pi. QEMU will not be able to emulate the hardware.
Your | Code: | | -cpu arm1176 -m 256 |
You need to choose the 64 bit arm cpu. Probably armv8-a
What do you want to achieve?
A QEMU chroot will work.

NeddySeagoon,
I want to check if the image boots correctly before I go with the image onto the hardware.
For chroot I also need a running arm64 in qemu, right?

samo,
Just go with the hardware testing. It will be easier.
You need a static qemu-user for the chroot.

Hello samo,
just in case you are interested, I have some notes on setting up a QEMU binfmt_misc chroot here.
But this (being a chroot) will not test the ability of your image to boot...
