Now create the following file: pi$ vi /etc/udev/rules.d/lesĪnd put in the following content: les KERNEL='sda', SYMLINK+='mmcblk0'

We need to add a comment to this file: pi$ vi /etc/ld.so.preloadĬomment this line by placing a # in front of the line: #/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libcofi_rpi.so This is because we need to make two changes to the system: This first boot is a bit special because we only initialize /bin/bash.

Now it is time to start the image in the emulator: osx$ qemu-system-arm -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -serial stdio -append 'root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw init=/bin/bash' -kernel kernel-qemu -hda -wheezy-raspbian.img In our case: -wheezy-raspbian.img First boot Now we’ve downloaded the latest version of the raspbian image. Use the following file to get the working version 1.7.1 (other versions had SCSI problems): qemu.rb require 'formula'

I’m using the osx$ prefix for commands that are executed on your OS X machine, pi$ for commands on the virtual Raspberry Pi. Now we need to modify the Homebrew formula (which downloads and install qemu) to the correct version: osx$ vi /usr/local/Library/Formula/qemu.rb Install and upgrade Xcode to 4.3 or above.But we quickly ran into a problem, compiling would take 20+ hours!Īfter running ‘make’ and grabbing a cup of coffee we set ourself a new goal, is it possible to emulate the RPi on our fast Macbook instead? qemuĪfter following a couple of guides that didn’t work we finally managed to get Qemu up and running, this is what we did: When trying to compile gnuradio on the RPi (Raspberry Pi) we followed this description. More information on that can be found here. This dongle this is a DVB-T USB stick, but can be turned into full software defined radio. This can than be combined with the amazing RTL-SDR dongle. Today a colleague and I wanted to install gnuradio on a Raspberry Pi. But if you really want speed you’ll have to set up a cross compiler environment or try this other cross compiler setup.Īlso: Links in the article below seem to be broken and it might not work anymore. There is a slightly faster method involving chroot. : 0 comments Raspberry Pi emulation on OS X Disclaimer/spoiler:īuilding for a Raspberry Pi in an emulator is just as slow as on the actual Pi.
