You need to use -M raspi2 (or -M raspi3 for 64-bit kernels) to enable the Raspberry Pi emulation. And you need version 5.1 or newer of Qemu to get the dwc2 USB emulation. I don't think any Linux distributions provide that new of a Qemu, so you might have to build it yourself.
Here is the command line I use to run the Raspbian image 2019-09-26 -raspbian-buster.img. I extracted bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb and kernel7.img from the FAT partition inside the image file. qemu-system-arm -M raspi2 -drive file=2019-09-26-raspbian- buster.img,format=raw,if=sd -dtb bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb -kernel kernel7.img -append 'rw earlycon=pl011,0x3f201000 console=ttyAMA0 loglevel=8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 rootwait memtest=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=0' -serial stdio -no-reboot -netdev user,id=net0 -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-tablet -device usb-net,netdev=net0 That should give you a graphical emulation with working keyboard, mouse and networking. Mass-storage also works, but I left that out for simplicity. But note that if you absolutely must pass-through a USB device from the host, it probably won't work. That's because the dwc2 controller emulation is connected through a full-speed hub emulation, so unless your USB device is connected at full-speed on the host, it probably won't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772165 Title: arm raspi2/raspi3 emulation has no USB support Status in QEMU: Confirmed Bug description: Using Qemu 2.12.0 on ArchLinux.
