Convert Armbian x86 img


primoitt

Question

Hello,

 

I wanna test Armbian x86 on virtual machine.

 

Is possible to convert its img file to some format (vdi or vmdk) and boot on Virtualbox?

 

I made a attempt but it wont boot..

 

VBoxManage.exe convertfromraw --format VDI armbian.img ambian.vdi

 

Thx a lot

This is how it goes on KVM ... if it helps.

 

wget -q -O - "https://redirect.armbian.com/region/EU/uefi-x86/Jammy_current" | xz -d > image.iso
sudo qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 image.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/image.qcow2
sudo qemu-img resize /var/lib/libvirt/images/image.qcow2 +10G
virt-install --name Armbian --memory 2048 --vcpus 4 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/image.qcow2,bus=sata --import --os-variant ubuntu22.04 --network bridge=br1 --noautoconsole
