Configuring and Building Edge OS for Virtual Machines

About this task

Instructions for configuring and building Edge OS for virtual machine target images.

Edge OS is supported for the following:

qemu86-64 qcow2 image.
OVA image.

The following are required in order to build Edge OS for virtual machines:

Configured Edge OS build environment.
Installed Google repo tool.
```
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
```
Additional information about the Google repo tool in at https://source.android.com/setup/develop/repo.
Installed VMware OVF tool for Linux from https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=OVFTOOL430&productId=742.
- Download the VMware OVF tool and copy it to your build machine.
- If you need to build the OVA image, execute the following command.
```
sudo sh VMware-Workstation-xxxx-xxxx.architecture.bundle
```

Use the following method to build the repository's target.

mkdir Edge
cd Edge
repo init -u ssh://[email protected]/Edge/meta-edge-vmware -m repo-manifest/meta-edge-vmware-repo-manifest-jenkins.xml -b develop
repo sync --detach --prune
./meta-edge-base/scripts/build.sh -C meta-edge-vmware/build.conf

The resulting OVA image will be at:

./build/images/amd64/predix_edge_os.ova

Import the OVA image into VMware Fusion or Workstation. Within VMware, click File > Import.
