| 1 | 1 | Pau Escrich | h1. Virtualbox |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | |||
| 3 | It is possible to emulate qMp with Virtual Box. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 5 | Pau Escrich | First of all open your virtualbox (VB) and create a new machine (type linux 2.6). |
| 6 | |||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | 3 | Pau Escrich | h3. Storage |
| 9 | 5 | Pau Escrich | |
| 10 | 3 | Pau Escrich | To make the things easy it is better to add |
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 2 | Pau Escrich | h3. Network Configuration |
| 13 | 1 | Pau Escrich | |
| 14 | First of all we create a virtual tun/tap device in the host machine. |
||
| 15 | 3 | Pau Escrich | |
| 16 | <pre> |
||
| 17 | 1 | Pau Escrich | ip tuntap add mode tap dev vbox |
| 18 | ip link set vbox up |
||
| 19 | ip addr add 172.30.22.10/24 dev vbox |
||
| 20 | 3 | Pau Escrich | </pre> |
| 21 | 1 | Pau Escrich | |
| 22 | 3 | Pau Escrich | In VB machine configuration at least one network interface must be added. |
| 23 | 1 | Pau Escrich | It should be configured as bridged interface to our new "vbox" network device. |
| 24 | The driver "PCnet-PCI II" works fine. |
||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | h3. Serial |
||
| 28 | 3 | Pau Escrich | |
| 29 | A serial port is needed because OpenWRT expects it. So it should be added in the VB machine configuration. |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | It is possible to use it to connect with the qMp node from the host machine (useful for debug), but it is NOT NEEDED. |
||
| 32 | To do so you should configure the VB serial as host pipe. |
||
| 33 | 4 | Pau Escrich | Check the option "create pipe" and add the path "/tmp/vboxS0". |
| 34 | 3 | Pau Escrich | Then in the host machine execute: |
| 35 | <pre> |
||
| 36 | socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/vboxS0 TCP-LISTEN:7777 & |
||
| 37 | netcat localhost 7777 |
||
| 38 | </pre> |
||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | And you will get serial! |
