Preparations before development using virtual machine embedded Linux

Article Title: preparations before development using virtual machine embedded Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

1. Prepare the installation file, which is generally an executable installation file and a cracking key generator. After installation, generate a usable key and copy it to the end to complete the installation of the VMware software;

2. Run the software, create a new virtual machine, start a name, or directly select RedHatLinux, and then select the storage location of the Virtual Machine. Generally, 8-10 Gb of space is available in a zone. Note: the storage area must be in the Fat32 format. Otherwise, a hardware error will occur when the system is installed to format the hard disk. In addition, VM/setting selects hardware settings for embedded development, you can select llel and serial to add them. Note that it is physical hardware. If you don't have these two interfaces, just forget it.

3, set up, OK, put into the system installation disk or directly load the image, note: the default CD-ROM is the last drive letter, and often this is the virtual drive, this often leads to the failure to find the error of Self-boot optical drive. You need to change it to the drive letter pointing to your physical drive, and modify the VM/setting hardware settings.

4. Install the system and perform the same operations as normal machines. Take installing RedHatLinux as an example. swap calls 512 M, and the root directory calls 7-8G. swap selects full installation, and then starts a long wait (the default VM memory is 256 M, which is relatively slow ), for three CD files, Linux installation is complete.

5. For better and more convenient development in a virtual machine environment, it is necessary to install VM-Tools. First, confirm the Administrator permission. Select VM/installvmtoolsto install the VM. A virtual optical disk will be automatically created, and the corresponding .tar.gz will be decompressed. enter will be used to set your own display format. Then, the VMWare group's Enjoy blessing will be displayed. In VM/setting/sharedfolds, select a folder as the shared folder, which corresponds to/mnt/hgfs in the Virtual Machine and can be used as the shared file channel between the virtual machine and the real host.
