While you could just run the live ISO, there’s no fun in that - create a disk image for the install (you’ll be doing this from the qemu/build directory you were just in, and stick the image somewhere fast).
#Qemu emulator mac how to#
The instructions I’m working from cover how to build it with your own ARM VM (and include a link to some built ones), but I’ve also uploaded one for you, if you happen to want it: You do NOT want the ‘amd64’ version - make sure you get ‘arm64’ or it won’t work! There are plenty of ways to install the ARM version of Ubuntu, but there’s a convenient desktop build now at - grab focal-desktop-arm64.iso. Grab an ARM Ubuntu ISO and an EFI blob, Create a Disk Image Sit back, relax, wait… actually, not very long, this system is blazing fast on all 8 cores, and you should have some qemu binaries! configure -target-list=aarch64-softmmu,x86_64-softmmu,i386-softmmu -enable-cocoa If you don’t apply the second patches, and you try to run x86 system emulation, you’ll get the exceedingly unhelpful error “Could not allocate dynamic translator buffer” when you try to run it.Īnd, of course, if you’re not interested in x86 emulation, you can skip the x86_64-softmmu and i386-softmmu options in the target-list for configure. Apple Silicon prevents memory pages from being both writable and executable at the same time, and this adds the toggles to handle things properly so the JIT engine can work. ) isn’t actually required to run hardware virtualization, but if you wanted to mess around with the (somewhat awful, but still usable) performance of x86 VMs on the M1, you’ll need this. ies=400619) is the core of the updates - it adds amework support (Apple’s recent “So, you wanna do hardware virtualization without a kernel module…” framework), adds the ability to sign the output binary to allow it to use that, and various other things related to Apple Silicon support. Next step: we’re going to download the qemu source, check out the proper version, apply a couple patches, and build it! I have no great advice on parallel Homebrew installs, sorry.

If you rely on x86 homebrew, well… uh… fix the ARM stuff that doesn’t build? Or install to a different directory, I suppose.

This is fine for most use cases, and it certainly works better than the ARM Homebrew (half the code won’t build under ARM), but it’s no good for ARM native dependencies, and we’re going to be building ARM native qemu. If you use the normal Homebrew install path, you’ll get x86 Homebrew, running under Rosetta.

You may have to agree to some license terms as well - it’s been a while since I had a clean install. That’s the first thing I do with any Mac, so I had them laying around.

I understand you can also install them from the command line, if you don’t want the full install, by running xcode-select -install. You’ll need the XCode command line tools (gcc and such) to build this, so if you don’t already have those installed, go ahead and install XCode from the App Store. Installing the Prerequisites: Homebrew and XCode If you’re fine with 1024x768, it certainly works, but… we can do better with open source! Yes, I know Parallels has a tech preview out, and you still can’t change the resolution of a Linux guest. Plus some patches to the source, and… it’s all good fun, I promise! What I don’t promise is that this will work perfectly for you, though I’ll try!

You’ll need XCode installed, and we’ll be using homebrew to install some of the prerequisites for building qemu. The main issues are the scheduling problems, and I'm hoping someone in here has done enough work with Mac programming to have some ideas as to where I could start tweaking things to help keep VMs on the performance cores (short of the TSO hacks, which I'd rather not use). you really, really need to use Rosetta somehow or another, because x86 full system emulation is painful). I know there's interest in getting Linux running on the iron, and that will certainly be interesting, but as a VM, any sort of user-facing interactive Linux task should work just fine (unless it's x86 specific, at which point. It works very, very well with ARM Linux, and is, quite literally, the fastest Linux machine I've ever used. Steps to get a qemu based, hardware virtual machine running on the M1. I've trimmed out some general overview and a section on running BOINC, because it's not directly related to running the VMs. and-boinc/ It's my blog, I give myself permission to repost the relevant snippets.
