I have a raspberry pi 2, with a raspbian-stretch (2017-09-07) operative system burn into sd-card by using etcher-1.1.2 app. Raspberry works well!. I tryed follow many guides for mount sd-card operating system in Vrtual-Box(5.1.30) linux application, but at startup a black screen appears. I follow these steps:

  • umount sd card (Device /dev/mmcblk0) (/dev/mmcblk0p1 FAT32 boot partition, /dev/mmcblk0p2 Ext4 data partition)
  • use VirtualBox command: sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/user/Desktop/raw_file/file.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/mmcblk0 and appear: RAW host disk access VMDK file /home/user/Desktop/raw_file/file.vmdk created successfully.
  • start Virtual-box in root mode
  • create a new machine without hdd and operative system
  • add SATA controller and select file.vmdk I tried to mount and remount sd partition but nothing changed! Please, help me, thanks in advance. sdcard configuration

    AFAIK virtualbox does not support ARM OS's.

You can't run an ARM Raspbian image on an x86 system. If you want to run the Raspbian Pixel Desktop you can download the x86 iso at raspberrypi.org

  • Thank Steve Robillard and 88weighed for your answers, my original intent was modify the /dev file of raspberry pi, by using emulation. But seem that it can't be done! Thanks a lot.
