Raspberry pi emulator qemu mac

Probably since the spec of the USB controller is not publicly available, it makes the whole thing harder and that’s why the emulation not yet available. I only hope they can emulate BCM2836’s USB anytime soon… I appreciate the work already done by QEMU team and others involved. Just for reference, here is the tutorial I followed, not to be very bold, that I have discovered everything myself. Simply, at current state (as of ) of QEMU, it doesn’t support emulation of the USB controller, and since the whole network relays on it, there are huge connectivity issues (no network interface at all, so no SSH, no tools installation, no file transfers neither). Maybe it’s not totally not running, but still it’s pretty useless in terms of any further development of application without a device. Install QEMU for Windows, download latest Raspbian and run! Unfortunately after whole evening of tries I still fail to have it usable anyhow.

At first glance, it seemed to me to be a really easy task.
