If you choose to use a Virtual Machine to host your development version of Linux on a PC, the VM provider will provide up to date information that is better and more complete than what weve provided here. Introduction. This guide demonstrates how to get a virtual Ubuntu Linux machine running with VMware under Windows 7. Please use only the 3. Ubuntu 1. 4. 0. 4 release as this is what is called an LTS Long Term Support. There are SDK scripts that will be checking for this release identity. Vmware Change Disk Serial Number' title='Vmware Change Disk Serial Number' />Windows 7 host with internet connection, at least 1. G of RAM and 4. 0G of free hard drive space. The instructions here are for setting up a 4. G virtual machine. The entire 4. G is not taken at once, but as the machine is used and software is installed, the machine can grow and take up as much as 4. G. Download the Ubuntu 1. LTS ISO image. Get the Ubuntu 1. LTS CD ISO image from http releases. Select PC Intel x. CD under the Desktop CD section. Click download and the follow instructions to download and save the ISO image somewhere. Remember where you save this you will need the ISO soonCD image. Download VMware and install. Get VMware from http www. Vmware Player is a free download from the website and enables the user to create an entire virtual machine from scratch using just the ISO image downloaded from Ubuntu. It is necessary to sign up for an account at VMware in order to get to the download areas. The general steps to getting VMware are as follows. Login to the vmware website. Select VMware Player from the products menu. Follow the steps to download VMware Player. This document describes VMware vSphere 5. FlexPod model from Cisco and NetApp and discusses design choices and deployment of best practices using this. This article provides information on some of the frequently asked questions about VMware Platform Services Controller PSC for vSphere 6. The PSC contains common. NOTE We have tested with v. As of Feburary, 2. Run the executable to install VMware. Accept license and all default settings. Create a New Virtual Machine with VMware. Before starting a new installation it is assumed that the Windows host has a proper internet connection to a DHCP server and that the Windows host has enough hard drive space for the new virtual machine. The following steps are performed with VMware 7. The exact steps with other versions may vary slightly. Start VMware. From the File menu select Create a New Virtual Machine. Choose to install the operating system later. Click Next. Select Linux as the Guest Operating System and then choose Ubuntu as the Version. Click next. Provide a Virtual machine name and Location where the machine will be stored on the Windows host. The defaults are fine here. Click Next. For Maximum disk size GB it is good to start with 4. G if possible.   This means that it will take up 4. G on the Windows host. Make sure that the Windows host has at least this much before proceeding. It is also a good practice to tell VMware to split the virtual disk into 2. G files. This will makes the image easier to copy and transport if necessary. Click Next. Click Finish to complete the creation of the virtual machine. The machine name will now be listed under the home page of VMware. It is necessary to modify some machine settings before playing the machine for the first time. Select the machine in the home page and then click on Edit virtual machine settings on the right. Click on CDDVD and change the connection to Use ISO image file. Click on Browse. and select the Ubuntu ISO image file that was previously downloaded. Click on Network Adapter and change the Network connection to Bridged and then check the box to Replicate physical network connection state. Adding a serial port to the virtual machine. If you plan to use a serial terminal application, a serial port must be added to the virtual machine. This port must be a physical serial port which exists on the host PC. Click on Add. and select Serial Port. Click Next.   Choose Use physical serial port on host. Click Next.   Click Finish. Click Ok. Since this is a physical port on the host PC, it cannot be used by the host PC and the virtual machine at the same time. When the virtual machine is started, the serial port will be unavailable for use by the host PC. If the serial port is being used at the time that the virtual machine is started, the virtual machine will not be able to access the serial port after it is booted up. Install 180 Thermostat Dodge Charger there. So if you want the virtual machine to gain control of the physical serial port of the host PC, there can not be any application like hyperterminal or teraterm running on the host PC at the time that the virtual machine is started. Further instructions for using the serial port with minicom inside of Ubuntu are here. Minicom is the preferred application for use with the Sitara SDK. And the installation and setup of minicom is done automattically by the Sitara SDK installer. Now click on Play virtual machine. Since this is the first time starting the machine and the Ubuntu ISO image is in the virtual CD drive, the Ubuntu OS will install itself in the virtual machine. Click through the Ubuntu installation, making the appropriate choices as you go. This will help with SDK installation scripts. The full installation will take 2. When it completes the machine will reboot. The machine will now prompt for the username and password that you created during the installation. After the machine reboots into Ubuntu it is helpful to take the Ubuntu ISO out of the virtual CD drive. Click on the VM menu and select Settings   Click on CDDVD and change the connection from Use ISO image file to Use physical drive. The actual drive letter can be selected from the drop down list. If there is no physical drive on the host machine, the CDDVD device can be simply removed from the machine. Install VMware Tools. VMware tools is a very useful addition to VMware. It allows you to resize the VMware screen ,cut and paste of text and drag and drop files from the Ubuntu machine to and from the Windows host. Within the virtual machine window click the Player Manage Install VMware Tools. The VMware tools are contained in an ISO image that VMware will automatically mount. This drive will show up on the Ubuntu desktop as if it were a disk in a DVD drive. There will be a single tarball on the drive named VMware. Tools 9. 9. 0 2. Extract the tarball somewhere in your homelt user directory. You will see that a vmware tools distrib folder was created and a file name vmware install. Execute vmware install. VMware Tools.   The Perl script must be executed as a super user. This is done in Ubuntu by pre pending the command with sudo. When prompted for a password, enter the password for the user account. In Ubuntu, there is no root account. However, the first user account created when Ubuntu is installed can become a super user with the sudo command. Select all of defaults during installation of VMware Tools. An example is shown below. VMware ToolsVMware. Tools 9. 9. 0 2. Confirming a Valid Network Connection. After logging into the machine for the first time, bring up a terminal window. This can be found under the Applications menu in Ubuntu. Applications Accessories Terminal. Type pwd in this terminal. This should return homelt user. Now type ifconfig. This should return information about the network connection.
