Hi Marcin & Johnny, Thanks for the reply. My requirement is to setup a VM with aarch64(64 bit arm architecture) on x86_64 host. I have tried installing through virt-manager but i’m getting crash when starting the VM. I have attached the error below. In this, centos-7.2.img is built using virt-builder with lentos-7.2 for the aarch64. ##qemu-system-arm -m 1024 -machine vexpress-a9 -drive file=centos-7.2.img,format=raw,if=ide (process:12672): GLib-WARNING **: gmem.c:483: custom memory allocation vtable not supported pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x04000000

if i use virtio for the drive interface. i’m getting below error.
##qemu-system-arm -m 1024 -machine vexpress-a9 -drive file=centos-7.2.img,format=raw,if=virtio

Hi All,
I’m a newbie to arm architecture. I want to setup a development VM with ARMv8 board using QEMU/KVM on CentOS based host. Is there any documentation available to try out?
Or is there any other easy way to achieve this as i need to have a Development setup for CentOS?
Please suggest me if any other better way to achieve this.
Easiest? Install AAVMF (uefi firmware for armv8), virt-manager and qemu-system-arm.
Run Virt-manager, choose 'new VM', open architecture chooser, select aarch64. Give it hdd, install iso and go.
You can also follow this guide to install a 32 bit VM on an aarch64 host, if 32 bit arm is what you want to dev on:
