| agneli | Vall: on that machine I see no difference in speed between the dongle and and the sdcard slot | 07:19 |

| Vall | I need some info on how well (if at all) KVM/QEMU is running on Linux ARM64, specially on the Raspberry Pi4. Can anyone please help? | 16:37 |
| Vall | I'm about to make a major (for me) hardware investment, and want to check whether what I want to do is viable/doable/stable | 16:37 |
| Vall | The general idea is that I need to buy a Rpi3 or Rpi4 with at least 1GB of RAM to run a semi-closed/proprietary OS, this one to be precise: https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/raspberrypi-install-venus-image | 16:37 |
| Vall | It comes in the form of a image to burn into a SD card and boot from it | 16:37 |
| Vall | Underneath it runs a linux kernel | 16:37 |
| Vall | So, my idea is to buy a RPi4 8GB instead of a RPi3 1GB, install Devuan, then create a KVM/QEMU virtual machine to boot the above image | 16:37 |
| Vall | I would need to passthrough a couple of USB ports to that VM plus bridge its IP traffic, but everything else is self-contained | 16:37 |
| Vall | That way, I have all the rest of the Rpi4 to play with other VMs, all running under Linux awesomeness :-) | 16:37 |
| Vall | So, is it viable/doable/stable/etc? | 16:37 |
| adhoc | Vall: in theory, yes., | 18:11 |
| adhoc | I have used UTM QEMU on a Mac M1 to run an ARM64 Linux. | 18:11 |
| adhoc | Also x86-64, that was crap | 18:12 |
| adhoc | don't have a RPi4 to test on, there is just no stock locally... =( | 18:12 |
| adhoc | Vall: jump on the -arm channel, ask there. | 18:12 |
| adhoc | oh, oops, this is the -arm channel =P | 18:13 |
| adhoc | Vall: there will be folk on later that probably can help =) | 18:13 |
| Vall | adhoc: thanks! | 23:18 |
| Vall | adhoc: so you actually used QEMU on an aarch64 host (the Mac M1) to virtualize an aarch64 VM guest running linux! Man, you are the first person I found that actually did that! | 23:21 |
| Vall | adhoc: have you used USB passthrough from the host to this VM? | 23:21 |
