Workshop 2: Ubunto Raspberry Pi Simulation with Qemu

Goals

  • Install Qemu
  • Config Qemu
  • Install Raspberry kernel
  • Simulate Raspberry2 with Qemu

Leap

  • go ur repo and install qemu
wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-7.2.0.tar.xz
  • decompress file
tar xvfJ qemu-7.2.0.tar.xz
  • move to the decompressed file
cd qemu-7.2.0
  • create build in order to construct the code source
mkdir build

Create config QEMU inside build

../configure
  • once config done, compile
make

Install Qemu in BUILD

sudo make install
  • that’s it, find where it is
locate qemu 

ls /usr/local/bin/qemu-*
  • inside build, list all the machines supported by QEMU
qemu-system-arm -machine -help

Install Linux Kernel

go back to the top directory and download raspberry kernel.

git clone from gitub

or just click from here

  • unzip the image of distru rasp dans root direc, you will get (img extension mostly)
unzip 2023-01-03-raspios-bullseye.armhf-full.zip
  • Another option to convert it to qcow2 first.
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 2023-01-03-raspios-bullseye.armhf-full.zip
  • with qcow2 extension we can expand the image.
qemu-img resize raspios-armhf-full.qcow +6G

Simulate Raspberry2 with Qemu

  • in root
sudo qemu-system-arm \
  • open another command window in paralel and run this
xtightvncviewer 127.0.0.1:5900
  • this should open it.

GOOD GAME

A windows should open with Raspberry Pi UI

Well done!
