Hello,
during the last Linaro Connect in Hong Kong I presented (see [1] and
[2]) a project called UMEQ, for User Mode Emulation Quest.
The goal of this project is to run AArch64 binaries on a x86_64 host in
user mode. Exactly like QEMU user-mode.
But, as I presented, QEMU user-mode is often crashing with applications
that use signals and/or threads while UMEQ is working correctly.
For instance we can run (thanks to UMEQ) complexe AArch64 programs like
vlc, okular, battle for wesnoth, gdb, ... on an x86_64 host.
As promised during the connect, the code is now available at
https://github.com/mickael-guene/umeq
Feel free to compile it, test it, read the sources and ask questions to
his author mickael Guene.
Best regards
