Hi! I'm forwarding the message I sent directly to Gavin some time ago Also, I've pushed a small fix for the kernel compilation error and replaced a couple of __linux__ ifdefs with __FreeBSD__ in the emulator. I also think it is necessary to mount libprocfs even if using a FreeBSD build because the emulator uses /proc to find its binary The result is that I now have the emulator running on FreeBSD which has X11/Framebuffer working. Here is a screenshot in which I connect to a FreeBSD host using "ssh -Y" in Mac OS X and run the emulator https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7wcN-tOkdeRZTlzdWh3V0d0VGM/view?usp=sharing https://github.com/astarasikov/freebsd https://github.com/astarasikov/qemu/tree/l-preview-freebsd ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alexander Tarasikov <alexander.tarasikov@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 3:16 PM Subject: Re: Android Emulator for FreeBSD + FreeBSD/ARM port To: Gavin Atkinson <gavin@freebsd.org> On Sun, Oct 5, 2014 at 9:58 PM, Gavin Atkinson <gavin@freebsd.org> wrote: > On Sun, 7 Sep 2014, Alexander Tarasikov wrote: >> During summer as part of GSoC program I was working on porting FreeBSD >> to the Android Emulator. >> Besides, I have ported Android Emulator to run natively on x86_64 as opposed to >> using linuxulator for 32-bit support. >> >> As for the kernel side, I have implemented the support for the >> following hardware: >> *IRQ, Timer, UART >> *MMC >> *Ethernet >> *Framebuffer (using NEWCONS) >> >> It allows to mount rootfs and boot up to login prompt with raspberry >> pi sd card image. > > I'm now in a position where I'm starting to look at getting this in shape > ready to push it into the main tree.

It's complicated. Afaiu, linux compatibility mode only supports 32-bit binaries. So we'll need to rebuild the emulator on 32-bit linux (to get a 'git' version which works). If we run the emulator on Linux or OS X, everything works including framebuffer, mmc and network. As for running natively on FreeBSD, it currently supports the UART and GUI fails at some X11 call.
