AMD Processor Hax Kernel is not installed


I'm having problems with the Emulator on Android Studio. First of all, when I'm trying to execute my app with the Android Studio emulator, appears me the following log:

emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

Ok, searching I found that I have to install

intelhaxm-android.exe

So I did it, but appers me a pop-up saying that my computer does not support Intel Virtualization technology.

Ok, searching I found that this is an option of my BIOS, but my BIOS does not support it.

So, may I give up? I do not know what else to do


Solution

  • Intel virtualization works only on supported Intel processors. There is currently no such thing for AMD processors. But there's an amazing alternative! A couple of years ago, AMD partnered with a software startup to create a blazing fast emulator called Bluestacks. I previously used a machine with an AMD processor, and Bluestacks worked like magic on it!

    Just install bluestacks on your PC. When you fire it up, it will show up as a mobile device in your IDE's list of supported devices. It runs as fast as real phone!
