Re: Virtual box for raspberry pi
VBox is a x86 virtualizer, raspi is arm!
Re: Virtual box for raspberry pi
That means we can not install virtual box in raspberry pi?

Re: Virtual box for raspberry pi
No, you can't. As towo2099 already told you, you need an x86 host.
Do you have one? If not, you have the same chances as installing VirtualBox on a bicycle.

Is it out of form to discuss alternatives?
qemu does run on pi.
so does lxc and docker if containers can do what your looking for. xen might, but it would only be in pv mode.

Re: Virtual box for raspberry pi
If it has to emulate a x86 CPU then it's going to be slow as hell. Maybe good enough for a DOS emulation, but in that case I'd look at a dedicated example such as DOSBOX.xahare wrote: qemu does run on pi.
None of these AFAIK emulate x86 processors, and I don't see how ParaVirtualization will help when you can't even boot an OS.xahare wrote: so does lxc and docker if containers can do what your looking for. xen might, but it would only be in pv mode.
As the thread already mentioned - you can't run x86 machine code instructions on an ARM. An ARM is an entirely different CPU which runs ARM instructions. You can run an X86 emulator on any CPU, but an emulator is in a galaxy far far away from a hypervisor.
