AXY:Virtual Box MIB

This document describe how to install and build a MIB in a virtual box.

Abstract

There are several usage for the Virtual Box MIB.

• Virtual MIB as a build machine
• Virtual MIB as a Codeasys
• Virtual MIB as mini build machine

Virtual MIB as a build machine

A machine running Ubunto. It provides a full working environment, such as eclipse,gitk, 3s and so on. This machine comes with two kernels, preempt rt and native ubunto kernel. The native kernel comes with ubunto installation, the preempt rt kernel provides a coherent real time operating system to run mc. A cohernet real time operating system here means a system that prioritize threads as mc expects, that is, by their priority.

Installation

First download Virtual Box for windows ( ie . if you are running windows )

Grab the virtual disks from //domainaxy/IL/MC/Linux/Ubunto-Lite-Preempt-RT. They are about 4GB combined so it would probably take some time to download.

Now please follow these steps to create a virtual machine. Launch the virtual box.

click on the New button, the bellow window will appear.

mouse lost in first boot.

Execution of mc simulation mode - binary only

First, to install mc , please grab //domainaxy/IL/MC/Linux/mc_sim/mc_sim.tar.gz , copy it into the virtual machine and into a directory with enough space ( ie, not / ) and acts as follows.

open the ball

$ gunzip mc_sim.tar.gz

$ tar xvf mc_strim.tar

$ cd mc_sim

run mc as follows: $ source run_sim.sh
