Running in QEMU

  1. Install qemu package supporting aarch64 (ARMv8) and/or armh (ARMv7hf) ABI; e.g., for ALT/x86_64 host system:
    apt-get install qemu-system-aarch64-core qemu-system-arm-core;
  2. Download u-boot-qemu for aarch64/armh arches (replace <$arch/u-boot.bin> below with the path to the corresponding file extracted from the package);
  3. Download one of img.xz, extract and run QEMU (replace <IMAGE> with the path to the downloaded image):
