How to emulate ARM architecture under OSX 10.6 ("Snow Leopard")?

Question

I want to emulate the ARM architecture (more precisely, I want to compile software for my DNS-323 NAS), and it's hard for me.

At first I tried to install Q, which is the OSX port of QEMU. It freezes when I try to run it. Then I tried to download the source code for QEMU and apply the patch that someone wrote to compile QEMU under Leopard, but this also does not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

UPD: it looks like the SkyEye project is almost dead. It is still available at sourceforge .

But qemu is better now. It can be installed from macports or brew .

Try SkyEye . SkyEye is an open source simulator that simulates the ARM series and another processor . SkyEye's goal is to provide an integrated modeling environment on Linux and Windows. But it can also be created for Mac OS X.

I cannot find full information about Mac build, but check this:

• SkyEye simulator 1.0.0 released! (Support MAC OS / X)
• [Skyeye-developer] Skeyey on Mac OSX Initial Fix
• Problems with the Skyeye ARM Simulator on Mac OS X
• Google :)

Answer 2

I tried to run this launch so that I could check Raspberry PI OS under Mac OSX. I found this page:

Steps:

• Install macports
• In the terminal, type: sudo port install qemu +target_arm

What is it!

Answer 3

Possible emulation of ARM with QEMU using Q, Mac port QEMU .
