Comment 5 for bug 1936831

Hi Dann,

Thanks for looking into it. I am trying pi 3b emulation at the moment, as I want to try things out with VMs instead of the real SBC. My target is to try things out before deploying to the real SBC, hence why I want to use emulation of specific machine type. I see that most tutorial online make use of directly calling qemu-system-aarch64 instead of managing it via libvirt.

I also looked into using machine=virt: it means if I use a machine=virt VM, I should use a distro that support ARM with a EFI bootloader like ubuntu-server, right? that means only distro supporting UEFI would work... maybe I can try to move the EFI binaries across distros, though in iteslf it is another form of usage, not the one that I'd mentioned above, and it also means those distro may not work "out of box".
