the RPi has a proprietary bootoader you can not easily emulate (it
actually does *not* boot the CPU at all but the GPU only via its binary
blob graphics driver ...which later on then starts the ARM processor),
i dont think there is a way to boot these images in any VM
implementation ...

... the Pi actually only exists because broadcom had to get rid of a
stock of leftover settop-box SoCs from a failed project that they gave
the Pi foundation for free back then to save stocking costs, thus the
weird HW architecture with all focus on the GPU...
