Feature request: Support for creating virtual machines that emulate aarch64 hardware running on an amd64 physical host
Opened this issue · 1 comments
vm-bhyve is awesome to create virtual machines with the same processor architecture, and I use it a lot on my Intel server, with the amd64 processor architecture, and virtual machines which also use this amd64 processor architecture.
As I'm trying to familiarize myself with ARM architectures, I would find it very compelling to create virtual machines with the aarch64 processor architecture with the ease of use of vm-bhyve, and have them running in some kind of emulated mode on my physical host machine with an amd64 processor architecture.
Thanks for your consideration!
As far as I am aware bhyve, as a hypervisor, doesn't support the CPU architecture emulation. Your best bet is probably the QEMU (although it's much more limited in what it can do under FreeBSD vs Linux).
