PANIC: Missing CPUS hand emulator engine program

Question

I get the same problem that is mentioned below in the link. But this has been suspended, and I'm still looking for a solution. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27146511/panic-missing-emulator-engine-program-for-arm-cpus-eclipse

So I would like to ask a question and ask here. Until yesterday, the emulator worked fine. But from today I get the following error while trying to open the emulator

PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'arm' CPUS 

My AVD:

This is the error I get:

I updated and installed the components through the SDK Manager, and even tried to restart eclipse and my computer. I tried to create a new AVD. But nothing worked here.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It is associated with Avast Antivirus, found in its quarantine a bunch of files with an emulator. The problem started a couple of hours ago.

What I did as a temporary solution: I restored the emulator arm from quarantine, added it to avast exception, paused Avast, launched AVD, and then resumed Avast

Answer 2

In my case, my PATH environment variable was set incorrectly. He included

<sdk-path>/sdk/tools

Instead

<sdk-path>/sdk/emulator

emulator.exe exists in both of these directories, so the emulator command will work anyway. However, emulator-arm.exe exists only in my emulator directory.

Answer 3

This error indicates that there are some missing components in the Android SDK Tools!

In my case, for some reason, Avast Antivirus recognizes the tools / emulator -arm.exe as a threat and puts it in a virus chest! It started since I updated the SDK manager and everything to the last (tools 23.0.5)

As soon as I restored the emulator-arm.exe file and disabled Avast for 10 minutes, I was able to start the emulator without problems!

Note. I tried to add the file as an exception in Avast AV, but it still deletes the file from my system.

Check if the SDK Tools installation is complete and updated (delete first?) All or at least the "Tools" section in the SDK manager!

I hope this helps!

Answer 4

I got the same error a few minutes ago. Look at the antivirus chest and try to check if there is emulator-arm.exe . Try adding a file to the exception from the antivirus.

He works for me. (I have avast!). Hope this helps you.

Answer 5

I had the same problem at the same time as you, and I also use Avast. But I could not find the file in the Avast chest.

So for me, reinstalling the Android SDK tools worked:

• Open Android SDK Manager
• Select Android SDK Tools
• Click "Uninstall 1 Package"
• Once this is done, re-select the SDK Tools for Android and click "Install 1 Package."

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

This error occurred to me when I reformatted my computer and tried to copy and paste the old SDK files to my newly formatted computer.

I needed to reload the SDK API files. For example, when I reload API 19, it added these files in red and my emulator for API 19 worked. APIs 18 and 17 continued to give me "PANIC: There is no CPUS hand emulator program emulator." error message. APIs 18 and 17 were files that I copied and pasted.

Just uninstall everything and reinstall it. Especially in the Tools folder.

Answer 7

I know this is a crazy old topic, but I ran into this problem and struggled to solve it. This topic continued to appear in all searches.

Quick work - just copy everything from / sdk / tools To / sdk / emulator without overwriting.

My path looks like this C: \ Users \ MyProfile \ AppData \ Local \ Android \ SDK \ tools

Answer 8

I also have the same mistake this morning ... and I have Avast! Restore and add to exception does not seem to work in this case, so I manually added the exception ...

Decision:

1 Go to Avast Control Panel> Scan> Quarantine> Right-click on "emulator-arm.exe"> Restore and add to exception ...

2- On the Avast main screen> Options> Active Protection (2nd element)> File Agent (click on the wheel)> Exceptions (4th element on the left menu)> Add the full path to the emulator-arm.exe file in the bottom parts of the list.

Then it works for me ...

Answer 9

Avast Antivirus treats the-arm.exe emulator as a stream and blocks some of the causes. When you add exceptions to the Virus Chest page by right-clicking → “restore and add exceptions”, it will not be resolved in future versions. To resolve this issue in Avast 2015:

Settings →

Active Protection →

File System Screen →

Customize →

Exceptions then add the stream as an exception. Then click ok.

Answer 10

in my case there was no eabi v7a system image for api level 22. After loading, it started working. so make sure your eabi v7a hand image is set to a specific API level

Answer 11

If you are trying to use the Android Virtual Device (AVD) with an Android version whose version of the SDK platform you have not installed yet also appears.

Download all versions of the Android SDK that you can use AVD, i.e. make sure you have the API level installed, with the AVD you will be using.

Also, check the first row of the next image in the CPU column (this also gave an error). Change the CPU of your AVD to x86 and then it will work.
