Hi
When you are saying The SD card is visible (and usable) inside the emulator., do you mean that you are not seeing anything on sdcard
The path /sdcard should emulated the sdcard
Here are some commans line sent from an adb shell once an emulator (here on a Mac M1) was launched:
emu64a:/ # ls -l /sdcard
lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 2023-01-25 10:53 /sdcard -> /storage/self/primary
emu64a:/ # ls -l /sdcard/
total 104

The sdcard should be visible
Could you please confirm how you created the newsd.img used in the video (at 00:34)?
bo...@google.com
this is intended behavior for m1 images.
you can use x86 image (running on x86_64 hosts) to emulate physical sdcard,
the /sdcard is emulated, similar to real devices such as pixels.

By the sd card, I mean the external SD card. The emulated SD card, i.e. primary/default/internal storage is OK.
Which video are you referring to, please? In any case, I tried to create a new SD card via mksdcard command (https://developer.android.com/tools/mksdcard ) and start an emu with `-sdcard` flag. The emu did not boot at all.

We develop applications which have functionality related to external storage. How can we implement/test/support the functionality locally on machines with apple silicon? Is the external SD card support planned, please? Also, if the external cards are not available on the arm architecture right now, why the option is available in the device creation wizard?
Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce Bug:
Hello,
it seems there's a problem with the SD cards on Apple Silicon-based Macbook (M2 Pro)
The SD card is not visible in the emulator (settings - storage) even though:
1. A card is created successfully when an emu is initialised (there's a sdcard.img file inside the emu folder).
2. The card is enabled in the config.ini file.
Also, whenever I tried to launch the emu directly via CLI with sdcard option (emulator @<emu_name> -sdcard <path_to_card>), the emulator didn't start successfully. Therefore, I believe it could be a bug related to the different architecture as sdcards worked on Intel-based Mac machines (or Win platform) without issues.
Best regards,
Tomas H.
Expected Behavior:
The SD card is visible (and usable) inside the emulator.
Observed Behavior:
The SD card is not visible (nor usable) inside the emulator.
