How to start QEMU in Local PC or Laptop

[Deepak-Beniya]

I have selected machine as "qemux86-64" and compiled the source and the images are generated in build/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64

Now how will I start the the qemu in my local pc . Not in any jetson board .
I wanted to start the qemu in local pc or laptop.

what is the difference between these two machines "qemux86-64" and "qemuarm64" ?

How can I do customize the rootfs , I wanted to reduce size by removing cuda, and other library.?

Thanks and Regards

qemux86-64 emulates a system with an Intel/AMD 64-bit x86 CPU. qemuarm64 emulates a system with a 64-bit ARM architecture CPU.

The Yocto Project documentation on running QEMU talks about using QEMU, and the runqemu command.

As I mentioned in my comment on #169, using qemuarm64 is probably a better choice for emulation, since the Jetsons use 64-bit ARM CPUs. None of the NVIDIA-specific packages for the Jetsons (CUDA, etc.) will actually work in emulation.

Customizing images is discussed in this section of the Yocto Project documentation.
