While I’m (im)patiently waiting for my Raspberry Pi 2 to arrive next Monday, I wondered if anyone has had any luck with a VM/Emulator (VMWare, VirtualBox, Parallels, etc.) for the Raspberry Pi 2?
I’m anxious to get started on porting my digital signage app for OS X on it. QEMU shows promise, but anyone with real world experience of testing Xojo Apps built for Raspberry Pi 2 in a VM?
I spent way to many cycles looking at emulators. Didn’t find anything that worked.
I actually had some problems early on getting my Pi to work. It was awfully slow and I couldn’t get any Xojo apps to work. After talking with a developer that had no issues I went out and bought a different microSD card (bigger too) and all of my problems vanished.
One other thing that I had to overcome was that at one point I had two microUSB chargers. Only one of them works with the Pi (the one that came with the kit). The other one let to constant power fluctuations and it rebooting non-stop. The power supply is critically important to the Pi.
