LinX Software Suite DevEnv v5.0.0.ova

CrossControl provides the Virtual Machine environment, but you need to configure the machine according to the device specifications.

The first window, Import Virtual Appliance, will open, here users can change some settings. It is also possible to change settings after importing and setting up the Virtual Machine.

Import Virtual Appliance

Wait for the VirtualBox to import the virtual disk image of the environment

When completed, the Virtual Machine will be added to the VirtualBox. Before launching the VM users can make some changes in the Settings.

Virtual Box Settings

For example, the name of the VM can be changed.

In the System tab users can select the amount of memory to assign to the virtual machine. It is best not to use more than the suggested limit (green indicator) so as not to impede performance.

In the Processor tab users can set the numbers of processors to assign. More CPU resources assigned to the VM will speed up the compiling process

In Shared Folders tab users can assign the VM a share folder from the host machine in order to transfer files between your PC and the VM.

After start of the VM you then create a folder [host] that you mount the shared folder [share] to.

mkdir /home/ccs/host
mount -t vboxsf share /home/ccs/host

Virtual Box Shared folder

With user settings configured click Start to launch the VM.
