Run Raspberry Pi 64 system image with QEMU on macOS

launch-qemu-rpi-3.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Requirements:
# - macOS
# - qemu - `brew install qemu`
# - A raw 64-bit Raspberry Pi system image to boot (Usually a .img)

set -e

    echo "Disk image expected as argument" 1>&2
    exit 1

Is it possible to run on HVF?

Is it possible to run on HVF?

It doesn't seem to work for me. I get this error:

qemu-system-aarch64: Cannot enable HVF when guest CPU has EL3 enabled

Yes I also have the same error. The Pi4 onwards use aarch64 and likewise does the apple silicon. I therefore assumed some level of compatibility for virtualisation but HVF does not support EL3 and I have not been able to understand a method of disabling this requirement from within the pi image.
I also tried KVM with --enable-kvm and whilst QEMU did not present errors, the image did not boot.
I have checked also the img is 64 bit (tried desktop and lite).
I know the convention would be to post what code I tried, but I purged the project last night in favour of UTM.
Thanks

Have you managed to boot a Raspberry Pi OS image on UTM?

Nope not virtualised at least. I'm experimenting with the aarch64 build on UTM for Arch linux, and also installing arch linux on the raspberry Pi. It seems Arch Linux has better support for electronics / robotics anyway over RaspbianOS.
