Er, what? There are about 3 or 4 different assumptions all bundled
into that question. You *need* to think about your assumptions.

That has nothing to do with what you asked!

[1] Simulate the Arm

What as simulation got to do with it?

Do you mean you are running on x86? You didn't say. You assume we
know. We don't know, because you didn't say.

Yes you can simulate -- well, emulate -- Arm on x86. Look at QEMU.

[2] Why simulate at all?  Ubuntu runs on Arm. Ubuntu runs on RasPi. If
you want to run RasPi Ubuntu then use a RasPi. You did not say that
you weren't. (Did you assume that?) You  assume we know what you're
running on. We don't.

If you want to run Ubuntu for RasPi then use a RasPi. Is that not obvious?

If you want to run non-RasPi Arm Ubuntu then the obvious way is to use
a non-RasPi Arm computer. Is that what you want to do? You don't say.
You assume we know. We don't know.

Or do you want to run Arm Ubuntu on x86 Ubuntu? Seems odd to me but OK
then. Yes you can do that, via emulation, but then you don't want the
RasPi version. As Ogra said, the RasPi is special and strange and only
the RasPi can run RasPi OSes.

You seem, yet again, to assume that the RasPi is a standard Arm system
(it isn't) and the Ubuntu for RasPi is standard Arm Ubuntu (it isn't)
and that you can emulate RasPi on s86 (I think, but I don't know,
because you don't specify) and you can't readily do that. (I don't
think but I am not  going to do your research for you because you've
not said what you want to do so why waste both our times?)
