    78Please refer to [wiki:TBR/UserManual/MinGW_Tools_for_Windows MinGW Tools for Windows] for details of how to setup MinGW to build RTEMS on Windows. The following are brief steps to build a pc686 BSP:

     123 You can output the iso file in your chosen directory. I have a /vm mapping in my fstab. The 1st overlay specifies executables to be included, and the 2nd one allows you to add your custom grub.cfg. More overlay can be specified.

    122 There is no need to actually burn ISO image into CD. When configuring CD/DVD drive in Create Virtual Machine wizard, select ISO image option to use the ISO image created in the above steps. This makes updating and testing RTEMS ISO image very convenient.

    124 I tried out the hello, cdtest, cxx_iostream and capture examples in VMWare, and they worked.
     131One nice feature is that there is no need to actually burn ISO image into CD. When configuring CD/DVD drive in Create Virtual Machine wizard, select ISO image option to use the ISO image created in the above steps. This makes updating and testing RTEMS ISO image very convenient.

     134
     1351) Use your Windows credential to logon to VMWare.
     136
     1372) Make sure ''Net Logon'' service is up and running.
     138
     1393) Make sure all VMWare services except VMware VSS Writer Service are up and running.
     140
     1414) Make sure you have wired or wirelss network connection before powering up a virtual machine via VMware Infrastructure Web Access, otherwise VMWare might not work correctly.
     142= Create, Boot and Test RTEMS Virtual Machine =
     143
     144
     145I tried out the hello, cdtest, cxx_iostream and capture examples in VMWare, and they worked. The following illustrates a minimum setup of a RTEMS virtual machine using Create Virtual Machine wizard, and you can adjust it to fit your needs.
     146
     147To start, click on ''Create Virtual Machine'' under Commands panel, and select name and location for the new VM.

     153On Guest Operating System page, specify ''Other operating systems'' with version of ''Other (32-bit)''.

     165On the next 2 pages, select ''Don't Add a Hard Disk'' and ''Don't Add a Network Adaptor'' for the minimum setup.

     174
     175For CD/DVD Drive, select ''Use an ISO Image'' and iso file generated above as the image file. Later when testing your code or configuration change, there is no need to create another VM, just update the iso file, and then power the vm up. So the ISO image option is very convenient in iterative development cycles.
