I'm trying to emulate raspbian on QEMU and there're plenty of guides available on internet. However, every guide points to download qemu-linux kernel from link https://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu however, this link is dead and I was unable to find an alternative link. Is there any alternative link to the kernel or guide how to compile kernel from source to use it for emulation?

Here is a link for that file I have uploaded it to dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8u93xblz1v1ly0/kernel-qemu?dl=0
Also, it's been made available on github. Link --> https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel

1That particular build seems to be lacking cgroups and therefore can't be used to boot Jessie :( – Nathan Osman Nov 17 '15 at 3:15

7Please don't like to random files on dropbox. No one knows who you are, nor should they automatically trust you enough to run some random binary you uploaded to dropbox. – Cerin Apr 11 '16 at 17:22

The answer seems to be pretty late but may help other people. About compiling the kernel from source for qemu, this link has a copy of the original xecdesign webpage as a pdf. Found it atlast !!

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – Steve Robillard Oct 5 '15 at 0:46

As mentioned before, dhruvvyas90 provides new patched kernels regularly.
Like you say, most guides are outdated and contain broken links. I recommend this updated guide (feb 2017).
https://ownyourbits.com/2017/02/06/raspbian-on-qemu-with-network-access/
It provides a script that will take care of conditioning of the raspbian image to run in QEMU for you, and will share your network connection with QEMU so you can run apt-get and such.
