Pi 4B Emulator

[tutaencrypter]

Hi All,

I have several 4b Pi's ...I need to crest an accelerated compiler or at least another ARM compiler, I've used the Pis...

The project runs a touch HMDi connected display ..id line to emulated this graphics output

Can anyone guide me please ..what I've tried so far seems to be only serial output

Thanks for any assistance

You know, there is a thing called a "cross compiler" where you compile on a PC for a foreign target. This is very popular in the embedded space because most embedded chips are slow and have limited resources compared with a PC. If you do that you'd only need to test on the Pi. On Debian machines you can just install one from the repository:

apt install build-essential
apt install gcc-aarch-linux-gnu

There are also compilers for several languages besides C.

Holy sh-t I never knew that .... appreciated.

Is it impossible then to full emulate a PI with a display on PVE in that case?

I don't know. Maybe someone else can chime in.

No, why? in Germany these thinks are sheep.

In general qemu can emulate arm devices but you will have to use the cli, it's not exposed in the web ui.
You can obviously not completely emulate rpi's (gpio ...) but it may work for your testing / compiling use case.

Have not tested this myself.
