==Virtual Machine==

[[AXEL_Lite_SOM/DESK-MX6-L | DESK-MX6-L]] contains all the required software and documentation to start developing Linux application on the Axel platform. In particular, [[AXEL_Lite_SOM/DESK-MX6-L | DESK-MX6-L]] provides a virtual machine, called DVDK, with the following features:

* VirtualBox virtual machine (.OVA archive)
* based on Lubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit version)
* pre-installed VirtualBox Guest Additions
* LXDE desktop environment
* boot disk with the distro and pre-configured basic Linux services:
** TFTP: with base directory <code>/srv/tftp/</code>
** NFS: configured through the <code>/etc/exports</code> file
* secondary disk containing source code and tools:
** bootloader (u-boot) source tree cloned from DAVE Embedded Systems public git repository
** Linux kernel source tree cloned from DAVE Embedded Systems public git repository
** external pre-built toolchain
** Yocto BSP for [[AXEL Lite SOM]]
* pre-installed Yocto-based root file systems with setup scripts, makefiles, example applications, ...
* administrator account (dvdk) with autologin. Please note that the user account credentials are provided with the development kit (you can find them in the README file contained in the sw/dvdk folder of the kit distribution)
** user: '''dvdk'''
** password: '''dvdk'''

Please note that u-boot and kernel source trees are derived from the official trees released by NXP/Freescale; these trees have been customized to add support for the [[AXEL Lite SOM]].

===Host setup===
As stated previously, [[AXEL Lite SOM]] host tools are based on a [[Managed_Virtual_Machine_(MVM)|Managed Virtual Machine]]. As indicated [[AXEL_Lite_SOM/AXEL_Lite_Evaluation_Kit/Getting_started/Unboxing#microSD_Layout|here]], microSD card delivered along with [[AXEL_Lite_SOM/AXEL_Lite_Evaluation_Kit | AXEL Lite Evaluation Kit]]includes basic version of MVM that is the default option.

Please follows the README file on the SD card to extract the ''*.ova'' archive and to install the MVM.

It is also worth remembering that access to git repositories is required to download target source code. To enable it, please refer to [[Accessing_DAVE_Embedded_Systems_restricted_git_repositories|this page]].

MVM can be downloaded [https://cloud.dave.eu/ws-reserved-area-xelk/ here]. For accessing <b><i>DESK Reserved area</i></b> please contact our [mailto:helpdesk@dave.eu helpdesk support channel]

To install it, please refer to [[VirtualBox_Starting_DVDK_Virtual_Machine#Using_a_.ova_file|this page]].
