I'd like to be able to boot an image of Raspbian Wheezy, for example.

I've seen people using QEMU but they have to download Linux source and compile it or accept a pre-compiled one from an untrusted website. I could run this untrusted VM code in a VM but it seems silly. Also trying to run the Windows version of QEMU with Wine seems silly.

Is there a way to emulate without a kernel module, or some other easy to use approach?

I also see Linaro is used for Firefox OS development, but I don't see a report of anyone using it for Rasp Pi emulation.

    Doesn't the `qemu-system-arm` package provide ARM emulation? – muru Feb 20 '15 at 09:57

    Yes I think it helps, though directions like http://xecdesign.com/qemu-emulating-raspberry-pi-the-easy-way/ require additional binaries (other than whichever OS image file). If there is a way to make it work without, that could be a good answer. – Luke Stanley Feb 20 '15 at 11:43
