This is my command line to emulate a Raspberry Pi 3b with qemu on macOS Sonoma:

qemu-system-aarch64 -M raspi3b -cpu cortex-a72 -append "rw earlyprintk loglevel=8 console=ttyAMA0,115200 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=1" -dtb bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb -sd 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img -kernel kernel8.img -m 1G -serial stdio -smp 4 -usb -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd -device usb-net,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22

What I did:

1) Installed qemu 8.1.X via "brew install qemu" in Terminal
2) Downloaded the 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img from https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/rasp ... ios-bullseye-arm64.img.xz
This package needs to be unzipped.
3) You need to resize the image to an appropriate size (for example qemu-image resize 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img 32G), the size must be a power of 2), you need to tell the raspi to use the full "disk"-size via raspi-config, when I remember correctly.
4) You need the kernels, take them from here https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rp ... ter/native-emulation/dtbs and here https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rp ... mulation/5.4.51%20kernels

Communication between host and emulated raspberry pi is possible via ssh / sftp, just use port 5555, it gets forwarded to port 22 on the "pi" (example: ssh -p pi@localhost:5555), so you can exchange files easily. Just make sure that ssh is enabled via raspi-config.

So you want to use this emulation to set up some kind of "browserservice"? Maybe you take a look at Selenium Webdriver, which uses Chromium on the pi to do some web scraping. Did this some weeks ago, but to figure out how it's working caused me headaches. You need a debian chromium for arm64 package and the debian chromium-webdriver package for arm64, make sure both versions are the same (this is important, otherwise selenium won't work). Install them with apt and make sure both packages won't updated automatically via apt. I used selenium web driver with python 3.11 on my emulated pi, in headless mode, because qemu only allows 1G of memory.

Maybe this helps a little.

Edit:

@white Well, I'm not involved in any kind of development concerning qemu. But: as far as i've read some information on these sites

http://zero.eik.bme.hu/~balaton/qemu/amiga/
https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... 300&viewmode=flat&order=0

the filesystems seem to be a problem. Maybe that's because the hardware isn't fully emulated yet.
I would recommend to post your questions about qemu in above thread (amigworld). The programmer itself gets informed if theres any useful information, and you should soon get a proper reply.

By the way, how did you activate the networking?

@white Hello, i had the same errors since the first versions of QEMU which where able to simulate a SAM460ex. Nothing has changed so far. Yesterday i compiled QEMU 3.1.0 on my Mac, same thing. Developement is still active, so there might be hope for us. Today QEMU is very limited concerning AmigaOS 4 filesystem support, networking and graphics.

Same problem here. AmiUpdate tries to update itself from 2.43 to 2.44 (and saves the new AmiUpdate archive in a folder), installs, but after restart, ist still 2.43 and tries to Update again. So i checked the downloaded und unpacked archive, and voilà: version 2.43. Seems to be an old archive that AmiUpdate downloads and installs...

You can't use those dockies with X-Dock. They are exclusively programmed for Amidock, so there's nothing wrong with them: X-Dock just has no compatible API to execute dockies from Amidock. Maybe this will change in the future? Would be nice...

I noticed this strange behaviour one hour ago. I can confirm it.

I had the same problem. The emulation.library has something to do with Picasso96 and should sit in SYS:Libs/Picasso96 . Creating this drawer and manually moving/installing the emulation.library and picasso96.library into it solved the issue... Don't know why this is needed. Thought that picasso96 is integrated in graphics.library since AOS 4.1 FE?

Really great news, dreams come true! Always hoped that this will happen one day! I bought and used all versions of Final Writer (and Final Copy, too) up to V. 97 and was very satisfied with them. Thanks for your effort!

This evening i registered at amisphere and tried out Amistore for the first time. After logging in, i bought Personal Paint (cause that was the program i used to play with when i had a "classic amiga" 1200 which i transformed into a "killer machine" in those days) and netsurf redirected me to paypal, where i successfully bought this little gem. At first i was a little irritated, because i couldn't find the download link for my purchase. Then i realized that i had a positive balance and downloaded it directly out of the shopping list. The download and installation worked really nice, even on my "OS4.1"-Machine: A MacbookPro with the latest dev-version of FS-UAE on OSX "Yosemite". Amistore worked flawlessly, but due to the emulation bottleneck a little slow, but acceptable. Can't wait for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition. If things go well, there will be a new NG-Amiga user next year! So count me in
