HAXM requires a VT-X enabled processor, which I believe AMD doesn't support. AMD processors *do* support a similar technology, AMD-V -- but this is only supported under Linux, since the Linux emulator uses KVM instead of HAXM for hardware virtualization.
You have two options: - Use the ARM emulator images, instead of the x86 images. It'll be slower, since you'll be using software-based emulation, but it will work. You should still be able to enable hardware GPU boost for a bit of a speed boost. - Install Linux, assuming your processor supports AMD-V. You could also try Genymotion (https://www.genymotion.com), which is a third-party emulator that some developers have reported success with. It's a paid product though, and not endorsed by Google. -- Trevor Johns Google Developer Programs, Android http://developer.android.com If HAXM doesn't work for you, just use the ARM emulator images. It'll run slower, because it won't be using hardware-accelerated On Wednesday, January 6, 2016 at 1:02:01 AM UTC-8, bradley herwy wrote: > > Im following the developer training guide.
