What are you planning to do with it? VirtualBox only supports X64 and RasPiOS IMG files are ARM64 (or ARM32...even worse for VBox!).I tried:
- VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI (official image file).img RPI.vdi
- VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VMDK (official image file).img RPI.vmdk
But none of them boot on VirtualBox 7.2+, it stuck on blinking "_" state.
Why making things so conplicated? Many minor distro .IMG files can be booted up with above convertfromraw without issue.
Can anyone tell me how to make Virtualbox disk file from RPI .IMG file?
