Appendix F: Installing the LiveUSB to VMWare Virtual
Machine
The following instructions will step you through installing the LiveUSB into a VMWare Virtual Machine.
Once the installation is complete, you will no longer have to boot off of the LiveUSB, you may boot the
VMWare Virtual Machine instead.
What you’ll need
VMWare Workstation (VMPlayer may work, but has not been tested)
– I used VMWare
Workstation 8.0.4.
PLOP Boot Manager
– I used version 5.0.14
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform LiveUSB
Initial Installation & Licensing
1.
Unzip the Plop Boot Manager package to disk
2.
Create a new VMWare Virtual Machine with the following specs:
Use Iso Image: Set the VM to boot off of the plpbt.iso file which you unzipped in step 1
above.
Guest Operating System: Linux / Fedora
Disk Size: 60G+ Disk (may be configured as a dynamically allocated disk).
Allocating less then 60Gig of hard disk space will not work.
3.
Insert the LiveUSB key into the host
4.
From VMWare, boot the newly created Virtual Machine.
5.
The VMWare boot screen will appear briefly, you should then see the Plop Boot Manager
Menu.
a) From the VMWare Menu, select
VM > Removable Devices
b)
On my system, the LiveUSB device shows up as “JetFlash Mass Storage Device”,
yours may appear differently.
c) Select
VM > Removable Devices > JetFlash Mass Storage Device > Connect
(Disconnect from host)
d) From the PLOP Menu, select the USB menu option and then hit enter to boot.
e) You should see the Wind River boot screen appear.
6.
Accept the EULAs as they appear multiple times
