3.6 Starting Your Software Evaluation

After the host computer boots into the Fedora LiveUSB environment, you will see a desktop that includes a number of
icons, including a link to this document and quick launches to the tools. Check online for the latest versions of
documentation.

For your convenience, there are several pull down menus under Applications->Wind River.

1.

To open the evaluation tutorial, select:

Applications > Wind River > Documentation > Evaluation Tutorial.

2.

To view this guide at any time, select:

Getting Started Guide.

3.

To view videos of the exercises, select:

Applications > Wind River > Videos > Evaluation Tutorial Videos.

3.7 Notes

You can exercise the evaluation in any way you choose

—by following the tutorials, trying your own software, running

benchmarks, and so on.

The evaluation is safe to use with your existing machine. When correctly used no data will be written outside of the
LiveUSB flash drive.

The evaluation is interruptible

—if you stop at any point in the evaluation, you can resume where you stopped.

The version of Fedora on the LiveUSB flash drive is minimal. It uses a RAM file system. When the size of the file
system approaches the memory limits of the computer, operations may degrade. If a slowdown or stop occurs, shut
down the computer, reboot, and resume the evaluation.
