ARM processor Emulation - lord_lethris - 02-19-2016
I Havant got mine yet (its on its way hopefully, my kickstarter pledge said "March").
However, i'd love to get a heads up with my project.
Is there a decent ARM Emulator out there that works with windows, so I can start creating an OS on an SD card.
VirtualBox and VMWare doesn't have Processor emulation.
I know QEMU does, but that seems to have some weird Voodoo and it feels like I spend more time figuring out how to use it or start a VM - than I do actually using it. I'm sure its good if you have a PHD in rocket science, but I don't.
any help or hints would be great.
If I need to build a Linux VM, then use that to build the OS for Pine64, then I'll do that instead.
(there seems to be a lot of stuff about creating ARM QEMU, but all the instructions are about building it under Linux - the forums seem to be riddled with fan-boys who aren't very "window users" friendly and start getting cocky when you mention "can I do this under windows").

You can check out ARMv8‑A foundation platform. It's an emulator and can be installed on some Linux distributions.

I would suggest you do bootloader and kernel builds on a linux vm. This process is well documented on the linux-sunxi Web site: https://linux-sunxi.org/Toolchain

The Linux VM may happen in Pine A64 very soon. Stays tune.
