= Overview = The IGEP SDK Virtual Machine allows you to boot a custom Linux distribution image using a non-Linux development system. We don't recommend that you use the virtual machine as a day-to-day production development environment. You should limit the virtual machine to testing out and experiencing with the IGEP Technology. We use a virtual machine (VM) to make an easy way to introduce quickly to a complete development environment for IGEP Technology based devices. To understand the virtual machine, you need to be familiar with some terms and concepts: '''Host Computer:''' The system on which you are running the virtual machine. For example, the host computer could be your laptop computer running the Windows operating system. '''Virtualization infrastructure:''' *VirtualBox: An Oracle product that lets you run multiple operating systems at the same time on your PC. It allows you to create isolated virtual machines to try things out. See [https://www.virtualbox.org https://www.virtualbox.org] for more information. *VMware Player: A VMware product that lets you run multiple operating systems at the same time on your PC. It allows you to create isolated virtual machines to try things out. See [http://www.vmware.com/products/player http://www.vmware.com/products/player] for more information. '''OVA File:''' Is a TAR file with the OVF directory inside. The Open Virtual Machine Format file<br>defines the Virtual Machine, including which disk image (vmdk) to use. The disk image contains<br>a Linux distribution build by ISEE. For information on the Open Virtual Machine Format file, see<br>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format this page] for more information.<br> = Features = IGEP SDK Virtual Machine includes Software Development Kit (SDK) from ISEE. All components areinstalled and configured to speed up getting started with IGEP Technology. It is based in Linux Mint distribution (Ubuntu/Debian variant) with the following features: Distribution based on: *Release: Linux Mint 12 (Lisa)*Edition: Gnome Desktop, x86 Software included: *IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain*Eclipse IDE with Yocto Plug-in and Linux Tools.*Qt creator IDE Other useful information about VM is: <br> <br> = Install Virtual Machine<br> =
This tutorial guide shows the steps for setup the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine (VM) in your computer, which includes a software development kit with all its software completely installed and ready to use.
