Quickstart for Raspberry Pi 4

This page guides you through the steps for creating a virtual Raspberry Pi 4 device with a stock firmware Raspberry Pi OS lite (11.2.0), and shows how to access its Linux command line interface.

Create your device​

To create your virtual Raspberry Pi 4 device, do the following:

  1. Log in to AVH with your Arm account at https://app.avh.corellium.com. If you do not have an Arm account you can register here.

  2. After login you should land on Devices page. There click CREATE DEVICE:

    Create device

  3. On the Select Device view click on the Raspberry Pi 4 board to proceed with creation of corresponding virtual instance.

    Select Raspberry Pi 4

    note

    You can narrow down the list of displayed boards by selecting the target category on the top-right side between | ALL | ANDROID | FVP | IOT. The Raspberry Pi 4 board is available under IOT and ALL tabs.

  4. On the Configure your device screen, you will see a dropdown menu Select an example firmware with stock firmware options available for the target platform in AVH, see Stock Firmware for Raspberry Pi 4 for more details. For this quickstart example, choose Raspberry Pi OS lite (11.2.0) and click SELECT.

    Configure your device

    note

    It is also possible to upload custom firmware, see Custom Firmware for Raspberry Pi 4 for more information.

  5. On the Confirm Details screen, you can update the device name if needed, verify your selections, and then click CREATE DEVICE. Keep the advanced boot options unchecked.

    Confirm details

  6. Please be patient while the virtualized device is created and then loads. It may take a few minutes.

  7. Your Raspberry Pi 4 device is now created!

Modifying the RAM (optional)​

While the default RAM configuration for this device is 4GB, our Raspberry Pi 4 devices support 1GB, 2GB or 4GB LPDDR4 SDRAM. If you would like to customize the amount of RAM available, you can do so using the boot argument mem like so:

... mem=1G

Log in to console​

  1. Let's log in to the Linux command line interface on the device. Click Console tab in device's menu, if not open by default. Type in the default username: pi and password: raspberry, then hit the Return/Enter key. You should see the display name change to pi@rasberrypi, meaning you are logged in.

    Alternatively, you can also use the graphical console on the left to log in.

  2. Your virtualized Raspberry Pi 4 device is now ready to use!
