How to install Apple iOS on qemu
Qemu supports ARM (and many other platforms). So, what do I need (besides installation media) to install Apple iOS on qemu? Are there ways to create iOS image suitable for Qemu?
Update:
Apple A4 = Cortex-A8 + PowerVR SGX535
Apple A5 = Cortex-A9 MPCore + PowerVR SGX543MP2Both Cortexes use ARM v7 instruction set which is supported by Qemu. The problem is that:
- iOS doesn't support any of video-cards that can be emulated by Qemu
- Qemu can't开发者_Python百科 emulate PowerVR GPU.
there are libraries to emulate SGX
at http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/powervr-utilities.asp
maybe they can be used to make a hardware module for qemu
also there is some development that was doing on the gpu in the mailing list

QEMU does not emulate Apple A4/A5 architecture.
This is old, but still good question. I found new answer to it. Try qemu for iOS on github.
