Emulating Raspberry Pi 4 with Qemu

Emulating Raspberry Pi 4 with Qemu

Just a quick update before we dive in: what we're actually doing here is running Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) on a QEMU virtual ARM setup. This isn't full-blown hardware emulation of the Raspberry Pi 4, but more about creating a virtual environment for the OS. It doesn't mimic all the specific hardware features of the Pi 4, but it's pretty useful and great for general testing. I turned to this solution mainly to extract a modified sysroot from the Raspberry Pi OS, something not readily available in other resources. For those looking into detailed emulation of the actual Raspberry Pi 4's hardware in QEMU, check out this link for the latest updates: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1208.

Hope it helps! :D

Shortcomings: No GUI yet, only console.

Notes about installing AlmaLinux 8 and making customisation's

0. Introduction

Describes notes made about installing AlmaLinux 8, and making customisations as required. The installation was performed on a HP Z640 workstation, and to avoid changing the Windows and Ubuntu installations on the existing RAID arrays used a USB external disk as the target for the AlmaLinux installation.

1. Creation of install media and initial installation.

The full DVD ISO image was downloaded from AlmaLinux-8.4-x86_64-dvd.iso

Followed the instructions at Installation instructions to verify the checksum of the downloaded ISO which was succesful in that the SHA256 of the ISO file matched the expected value:
