Getting QEMU To Run ARM VM - Image On Windows

1) This document provides instructions for setting up QEMU to run an ARM virtual machine image on Windows. It describes downloading QEMU binaries and GTK+, creating the ARM image on Linux, extracting the kernel and initrd, and starting QEMU on Windows. 2) Creating the ARM image involves using Linaro tools to download a Linaro release and hardware pack, then using linao-media-create to build the image file. The kernel and initrd are then extracted from the image. 3) Starting QEMU on Windows attaches the image file as an SD card and redirects TCP traffic to allow SSH access to the virtual machine from the Windows host.
