Raspberry Pi and QEMU What is QEMU? QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and visualizer. It emulates full machines (boards) of different architectures and is useful for both application and kernel development. The CPU itself could be fully emulated (together with devices, memories and so on) or work with a hypervisor such as KVM or Xen.
If support for your hardware is missing, then it's a fairly easy task to write a stub driver that your application can interface.
