This is a new page that will be used as a kind of tutorial for running qemu on {{Admon/important| Warning! | Please read the piinstructions carefully, getting networking workingthere may be errors or wrong information, and, using a pidora image. Additionally the plan is to use this setup to make future composes for pidora 2014, or allow pidora users to create/user modified kickstart files to make their own imagesbe careful if you don't know what you are doing.}}

This tutorial page is basically just using the here to assist people who would like to run Pidora 2014 in a QEMU environment. This tutorial found on has been adapted from this site(website: http://xecdesign.com/compiling-qemu/), with some added steps specifically for pidora.

This setup avoids the installation of the newly compiled qemu, so Using Pidora in a QEMU environment has some important restrictions to note. The model that your system stays cleanis used to emulate Pidora has a hard coded restriction on how much RAM it can use (256 MB). The programs we use (livemedia-creator) for composing new images require much more RAM, which makes the Pidora QEMU Environment a bad place to try and keeps your system and any already install qemu instances managed by yumcreate images.(See compose on Fedora Arm QEMU)

Some of = Pidora QEMU Setup =The two stages to setting up Pidora QEMU involve, getting all the commands may need rootfiles (kernel, image) and installing the QEMU environment.

== Getting The Files ==<pre># use whatever Choose the directory you'd liketo put both the image and the compiled QEMU software

# Before you can continue, you will probably need to install a bunch of build deps# I will show all Configure the packages I needed to install options for the raspberry pi./configure--target-list="arm-softmmu arm-linux-user" --enable-sdl --prefix=/make to finish successfully# Note: I do NOT make installusr

# I think Finally, compile itmake </pre> = Boot Pidora in QEMU =Make sure you run the steps in "Before Booting" and "The First Boot" before you start Pidora for the first time to avoid issues. == Before Booting =={{Admon/important| Warning! | Running the command "dd" can be dangerous and could result in data loss if not used properly.}}Make sure that you add some more space to the image file. Depending on what you might only want to do with the Pidora image you may want more space. Replace the value in the variable size, with the number of GB to increase the size of the image with.<pre># Choose the directory for the compiled QEMU softwarepidora_dir=/data/pidora-qemu # Size = GBsize=4  dd if=/dev/zero bs=1G count=${size} >> ${pidora_dir}/Pidora-2014-R1.img</pre> == The First Boot ==At this step we need to install boot Pidora, start first boot, and allow it to automatically resize the partition inside the image to the right size. This will only work if you already increase the size of the devel packages image in the below previous steps. <pre># Choose the directory for the compiled QEMU softwarepidora_dir=/data/pidora-qemu # This is the command.to boot the Pidora Image using the compiled version of QEMUyum install gcc${pidora_dir}/raspidev/qemu/arm-++ zlib zlibsoftmmu/qemu-devel SDL SDLsystem-devel pixman pixmanarm -devel libfdtkernel ${pidora_dir}/kernel-devel libtool glib2 glib2qemu -develcpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -serial stdio -append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw" -hda ${pidora_dir}/Pidora-2014-R1.img</pre> == Pidora Graphical Boot ==Run the commands below. OR

# As per XEC's instructions I did Copy the following(though I used vi)commands below to a file called: start_pidora_multi_userAnd execute the file: bash start_pidora_multi_user

# Put == Boot with SSH Enabled ==There is a # option you can specify in front of the first line so boot command that it looks like will allow a port to be forwarded from a localhost to the port on the pidora machine. For example, to connect to the raspberry pi qemu environment with ssh you would add thisline:#/usr/lib/arm<pre>-linux-gnueabihfredir tcp:2222::22</libcofi_rpi.sopre>

Press ctrl-x then y then enter This will redirect all traffic from localhost on your main machine through the port 2222 to save and exit.(Optional) Use steps 2 to 4 above to create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-the raspberry pi qemumachine port 22.rules with Make sure ssh is running on the following contentqemu machine:KERNEL=="sda", SYMLINK+="mmcblk0"<pre>KERNEL=="sda?", SYMLINK+="mmcblk0p%n"systemctl enable sshd # To make sshd start at boot timeKERNEL=="sda2", SYMLINK+="root"systemctl start sshd # To start sshd</pre>

So you can connect with ssh by running the following command:<pre>ssh -p 2222 root@localhost # Now just close the window or shut it downConnect to raspberry pi qemu over ssh</pre>

# At this point it's probably a good idea This is the command to increase boot the Pidora Image using the size compiled version of the QEMU${pidora_dir}/raspidev/qemu/arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -redir tcp:2222::22 -kernel ${pidora_dir}/kernel-qemu -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -serial stdio -append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw 3" -hda ${pidora_dir}/Pidora-2014-R1.img file. If you don't it might cause some errors when you start first boot and it tries to resize your partitions and filesystem.</pre>

# WARNING: === Graphical Boot With SSH ===This next command can be very dangerous, use at your own risk! Change is an example of the count=# number to above graphical boot with the number of GB you would like to add added redirect option to the size of the image.

#WARNING: The following is done on If for some reason the qemu machine. This only needs to be done if Pidora Partitions did not resize after running first boot and you need did run the dd command above to manually resize increase the partitions on size of the image because you forgot to increase , then we will manually resize the img file size before you started first bootsystem here.
