%p So even the idea is to run software on the Pi, not everyone has a Pi (yet :-)
%p Others, like me, prefer to develop on a laptop and not carry the Pi around.
%p For all those, this here explains how to emulate the Pi on a Mac.

Get the Qemu. There may be other emulators out there, and i have read of armulator,
but this is what i found described and it works and is “easy enough”.

On Mac:

pi is in the gitignore, and the scripts in bin, will assume pi.

Get the latest Raspian image. Currently (2019) the
=ext_link "buster lite version" "https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/"
without Gui is fine, and smaller.
%p
Change the file format with something like:
%pre
%code
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch-lite.img raspbian-stretch-lite.qcow
So we can then resize the file, without it taking extra space
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-lite.img raspbian-buster-lite.qcow
So we can then resize the file, without it taking extra space (optional)
%pre
%code
qemu-img resize raspbian-stretch-lite.qcow +6G
Put the resulting file into the pi directory.
qemu-img resize raspbian-buster-lite.qcow +2G
Put the resulting file into the pi directory. After booting you will need to change the
partition to take the newly created space. This can be done with
%pre
%code
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
but for the buster image there is an extra little problem. A small free space is before
the partition, but the new partion must be at the exact sector as the old. So copy the start
sector before deleting the root partion and give fdisk the start sector when creatin the new.
%p
Also the file system has to be enlarged after another reboot:
%pre
%code
sudo resize2fs /dev/sda2
%h3 Kernel
%p
One still needs a kernel (even there is one on the image?), and Druv kindly keeps a
repository of them. Since we downloaded the stretch image, grap the
=ext_link "stretch kernel" , "https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/raw/master/kernel-qemu-4.9.59-stretch"
repository of them. Since we downloaded the buster image, grab the
=ext_link "buster kernel" , "https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/blob/master/kernel-qemu-4.19.50-buster"
and also the mysterious
=ext_link "tdb file." , "https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/raw/master/versatile-pb.dtb"
=ext_link "dtb file." , "https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/blob/master/versatile-pb.dtb"
Both go into the pi directory.

%li the kernel is the file name of the kernel you downloaded (or extracted)
