MikroTik RouterOS CHR (Cloud Hosted Router) with QEMU. Use when: running RouterOS in QEMU, booting CHR images, debugging CHR boot failures, setting up VirtIO devices for RouterOS, choosing between SeaBIOS and UEFI boot, configuring QEMU port forwarding for RouterOS REST API, setting up inter-VM socket networking or host-side L2 capture of guest broadcasts (e.g. MNDP), or selecting QEMU acceleration (KVM/HVF/TCG).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# RouterOS CHR with QEMU ## What Is CHR Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) is MikroTik's x86_64 and aarch64 RouterOS image designed for virtual machines. Free license allows unlimited use with 1 Mbps speed limit — sufficient for development, testing, API work, and packet sniffer debugging. A free 60-day trial removes the speed limit entirely (requires a free mikrotik.com account). See [CHR licensing reference](./references/chr-licensing.md) for full details on license tiers, trial activation, and expiry behavior. ## Image Variants | Image | Architecture | Boot method | Source | |---|---|---|---| | `chr-<ver>.img` | x86_64 | SeaBIOS (MBR chain-load) | download.mikrotik.com | | `chr-<ver>-arm64.img` | aarch64 | UEFI (EDK2 pflash) | download.mikrotik.com | | `chr-efi.img` (fat-chr) | x86_64 | UEFI (OVMF) | tikoci/fat-chr GitHub | **Standard x86 image has a proprietary boot partition** — it looks like an EFI System Partition in GPT but is NOT FAT. UEFI firmware (OVMF) cannot read it. Only SeaBIOS can boot it via MBR chain-load. …

How to install
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-qemu-chr@sha256:9358d61cb810ff14The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.1982e24, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
