Quick Emulator (QEMU) can simulate the scenario where a kernel runs on different boards, so that the kernel no longer depends on physical development boards.

QEMU applies only to the OpenHarmony kernel.

1. Install dependencies(Ubuntu 18+)

   sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev pkg-config libglib2.0-dev  binutils-dev libboost-all-dev autoconf libtool libssl-dev libpixman-1-dev virtualenv flex bison
   

2. Acquiring Source Code

   wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-6.2.0.tar.xz
   

   or

   Download from official website: qemu-6.2.0.tar.xz

3. Compile and install

   tar -xf qemu-6.2.0.tar.xz
   cd qemu-6.2.0
   mkdir build && cd build
   ../configure --prefix=qemu_installation_path
   make -j16
   

   Wait for the compilation to finish and execute the installation command:

   make install
   

   Finally, add the installation path to the environment variable:

   vim ~/.bashrc
   

   Add the following command line to the last line of ~/.bashrc:

   export PATH=$PATH:qemu_installation_path
