The Android simulator that we are developing now simulates arm's architecture (Arm-eabi), so the simulator is not run on x86, but the arm is simulated, so we often feel very slow when we debug the program, most developers should have a deep understanding.
In this case, Intel has launched a x86-enabled Android emulator in the previous period, which will greatly increase the startup speed and the speed of the program, which will allow the Android emulator to run at the original speed (real machine running speed) on a PC using the Intel x86 processor. Blessed are the developers, and the following will show you how to use them.
First, download the Intel-provided intel®hardware accelerated execution Manager 1.0.1 (R2)
1. Download to Intel's website: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager/
2.SDK Manager: Expand to Extras->intel Hardware accelerated execution Manager
Requirement:
1. requires the android* SDK to be installed (version or higher). SDK17 or above
2. Intel®processor with support forVt-x, EM64T, and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality Intel's CPU: and supports Vt-x (virtualization technology), scalable 64-bit, Execute Disable Bit. (all need to ensure enable enabled in the BIOS)
3. At least 1 GB of available RAM above 1G memory Otherwise it can't be installed.
once the hardware and software requirements have been met, you can start the installation and continue to the next step until the installation is successful. On the way there is a place to choose to allocate to HAXM memory size, the general default is good, too many will slow down the speed of the machine.
command line input after successful installation sc query INTELHAXM, to view the running status: State is : "4 RUNNING", which means the installation was successful. you need to change the allocated memory, rerun the Setup program and select the change to modify.
You can also turn it on and off manually using the following instructions:
Stop: SC stop INTELHAXM
Start: SC start INTELHAXM
meet the hardware and software conditions, if prompted as follows Error:but Intel Execute Disable Bit (XD) is not turned on ...
(need to turn on the system Data Execution protection function DEP, the afternoon tangled for a long time to find out.) Official website: Windows * Hosts may need to enable DEP (Data execution Prevention) in addition to Intel XD)
command line instruction: Bcdedit.exe/set NX OptIn Open, need to restart your computer
Second,
Download Intel Atom x86 System Image
1. Download from SDK Manager: Open SDK Manager, expand to Android2.3.3 (API10) (Note: currently only 2.3.3 and 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) have x86 image) , it needs to be used in conjunction with 2.3.3 SDK platform.
or download from Intel official website: Http://software.intel.com/en-us/android/
2. Create a new Avd:hardware property with the AVD Manager select GPU Emulation Yes and Keyboard support Yes
3. Start using the Fast simulator bar, all kinds of cool crooked
good tools can develop apps more efficiently and let us since say goodbye to the turtle-speed simulator.
