Raspberry Pi Virtual Appliance & Emulation on OS X

Advertisement

Without the Hardware, With Homebrew Package Manager Installed, You Can Run Raspberry Pi Emulation on OS X or Can Run Raspberry Pi Virtual Appliance. Clearly – both methods are different. Like, in case of Android, we ran Virtual Appliance of Android on OS X. Virtual Appliance has nothing to do with Homebrew Package Manager. You will need VirtualBox like Software. We have named the guide as Raspberry Pi Virtual Appliance & Emulation on OS X to give you two options. However, Raspberry Pi Emulation on OS X is better option.

Important point to note – Raspberry Pi uses ARM Processor.

 

Raspberry Pi Virtual Appliance on OS X

 

The file’s name is RaspberryPi-Development-VM-v0.8.ova

Download ca be done from :

Vim
1
http://downloads.element14.com/downloads/RaspberryPi-Development-VM-v0.8.ova?COM=RaspberryPi

The size is huge – near 9 GB! That is an .ova file. You can not directly mount on VirtualBox. You have to import this to VirtualBox and then run. It is better to do Server. We wrote how to run VirtualBox on Server.

On the other hand, emulation is multi step process but is easier, provides more control. Commands are here :

Vim

brew install mpfr gmp libmpc libelf texinfo
mkdir ~/rpi
mkdir ~/rpi/arm-cs-tools
git clone https://github.com/jsnyder/arm-eabi-toolchain.git
cd arm-eabi-toolchain
PREFIX=$HOME/rpi/arm-cs-tools make install-cross
make clean
echo "export PATH=$HOME/rpi/arm-cs-tools/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc

Then :

Vim
1
2

4
mkdir ~/rpi/kernel
cd ~/rpi/kernel
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
cd linux

Then :

Vim
1

cp arch/arm/configs/bcmrpi_cutdown_defconfig .config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/rpi/arm-cs-tools/bin/arm-none-eabi- menuconfig
sudo touch /usr/local/include/elf.h

Comment out the file :

#define R_MIPS_32 2
#define R_MIPS_REL32 3
#define R_MIPS_26 4
#define R_MIPS_HI16 5
#define R_MIPS_LO16 6

Build it :

Vim

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/rpi/arm-cs-tools/bin/arm-none-eabi- -k
brew install homebrew/dupes/apple-gcc42
brew install qemu ”use-gcc
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu arm1176 -hda debian6-19-04-2012.img -kernel zImage -append œroot=/dev/sda2 -serial stdio -usbdevice tablet

Username will be “guest” and password will be “guest”.

Mileage can vary, here will be the updated guide :

There is another alternative way. It will be too bigger to describe within this guide.
