How can I virtualize an ARM machine in Windows?

I'm interested in developing some programs that use OpenCV, but I want them to run on an ARM environment.

Can I virtualize the ARM under a Windows environment with VMWare or VirtualBox or something?

Solution 1:

As pointed Geoffroy, you can't virtualize ARM, but you can emulate it. You can try QEMU - generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

I've found this!

It's an image with Raspberry Pi with QEMU. You only have to double click on run.bat and follow instructions.

Runs perfect.

Thanks for your answers!
