Getting Raspbian running on a virtual auto tin flame survive really useful if you lot create development, or only desire to play around. Easy to job solutions similar VirtualBox unfortunately cannot emulate anything other than x64 or i386 CPUs, piece the Raspberry runs on an ARM chip.
Enter Qemu, an opened upward beginning virtualization host that tin flame run on Windows, Mac or Linux as well as emulate a broad diversity of CPUs, inlcuding the ARM fighting that the Raspberry Pi is based on.
I accept created an installer for Qemu that is preconfigured alongside the latest Raspbian ikon (Jan 2014) at the fourth dimension of writing this, but even as well as hence in that place are a twosome of steps required to acquire it working 100%
File MD5: e323adcc7738b1948460b0e5fcb87a03
Preparation:
- Download the VirtualBerry installer.
- Download OpenVPN Community Edition. This is required to create a virtual network interface for the VBerry.
Installing the Virtual Ethernet Adapter:
Run the OpenVPN Installer.
When you lot achieve the portion alternative screen, deselect everything except the TAP Virtual Ethernet Adapter:
This volition create a novel network adapter inwards your network as well as sharing center. For simplicity, rename this adapter to "VirtualBerry". Simply acquire to you lot network adapter settings as well as honour the TAP adapter.
It should straight off expect similar this:Now, you lot bespeak to span the VirtualBerry adapter alongside your network interface equally below:
Your networking is straight off prepare to connect to a virtualized Raspberry, if you lot accept whatsoever custom network configuration, apply it to the bridge.
You tin flame straight off run the VirtualBerry installer.
After it finishes you lot tin flame run VirtualBerry from the start bill of fare it should kick into Raspbian alongside the touchstone Raspbian start kick screen.
Please banknote that Qemu does non emulate 100% of the functionality of the RPi, as well as hence you lot volition come across only about errors inwards the kick up. This is normal, as well as should non touching on the functioning of the emulator.
Working:
Networking
CPU Emulation
X
Not working:
OpenGL
If you lot honour anything non working, move out a comment as well as hence that nosotros tin flame drive to create it, or house it on the list.
Credit where credit is due:
I am non a Raspberry or Linux expert, I write these tutorials equally I learn, for this 1 I used the next sources:

I am looking for a mirror to portion the file, delight contact me if you lot accept hosting space.
