I am unable to start up an ARM-based emulator in Android Studio Chipmunk. Getting the error:

 PANIC: Avd's CPU Architecture 'arm64' is not supported by the QEMU2 emulator on x86_64 host.

I am running Android Studio an a MacBook with Intel core i7 chipset. The x86_64-based emulators come up fine. Is it not possible to run an ARM-based emulator with the Intel core i7 chipset? The reason I wanted to use an ARM-based emulator is because I have an executable with these properties:

 ELF executable, 64-bit LSB arm64, static, not stripped

so I thought I have to use an ARM-based emulator to run this executable. Is this not right, i.e., would it be possible to run this arm64 executable in an x86_64 based emulator? TIA for any info.

  • Thanks Morrison. As one of the posts mentions, I could try dropping back to the Nougat version for arm64 so I'll see if that works... – user3063547 Sep 09 '22 at 19:29
  • do not use ARM system image for Android 28 and above, FYI: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74760054/panic-avds-cpu-architecture-arm64-is-not-supported-by-the-qemu2-emulator-on – linxie Jun 14 '23 at 14:35
