Running it from the command line resulted in a segmentation fault:
$ emulator -avd nexus_s Segmentation fault (core dumped) However, running emulator-arm directly as follows, works fine.
$ emulator-arm -avd nexus_s I suspect it's trying to run the mips or x86 version of the emulator. Is there a way to configure the emulator which executable to start?
All this started after updating to android sdk 17.
Adding the -verbose flag gives the following output (which I don't think adds any info):

If the emulator fails to launch due to the error vulkan-1. dll cannot be found , you probably need to update the emulator. To update the emulator in Android Studio, go to Tools > SDK Manager and install the latest stable version of Android platform.
A segfault occurs when a reference to a variable falls outside the segment where that variable resides, or when a write is attempted to a location that is in a read-only segment.
Core Dump/Segmentation fault is a specific kind of error caused by accessing memory that “does not belong to you.” When a piece of code tries to do read and write operation in a read only location in memory or freed block of memory, it is known as core dump. It is an error indicating memory corruption.
I finally found a solution after following CommonsWare's tip. Renaming libOpenglRender.so made the problem go away.
