Simple scripts to run a Raspberry Pi emulator, running raspbian, on MacOS.
First, run the configure.sh script to install Qemu and download the requisite files.
Then simply run start.sh. The emulator runs headless, and can be accessed via SSH as follows:
ssh -p 5022 pi@localhost
To copy files to the emulator:
rsync --rsh='ssh -p 5022' <PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE> pi@localhost:<REMOTE_PATH>
The <REMOTE_PATH> can be left blank if the destination is the home directory of the pi user.
The initial password for the pi user is raspberry. To use SSH key authenitcation, run the following command:
ssh-copy-id -p 5022 pi@localhost
The property guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.200:1234-cmd:nc 192.168.0.100 8842 determines how the guest will access a port on the host, e.g. a web server running on the host. The first IP, 10.0.2.200, is the ip that the guest will use to access the port. Port 1234 on the guest is mapped to port 8842 on the host, where 192.168.0.100 is the ip address of the host.
