TS-VIRTUAL-DEV is a VirtualBox virtual machine image (.vdi) based on the
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Linux distribution which was created to give Technologic
Systems customers another development tool for working with the
TS products.  Keep in mind that this is not an officially supported
package and is only provided in hopes that it will be useful.  There is
no warranty or guarantee.  VirtualBox was chosen because it's very
easy to use, cross platform compatible, and free.  There may be ways
of converting a VirtualBox vdi image to one that can be used with the
other popular VMWare virtualization product.

* REQUIRES VirtualBox 3.2.0 r61806 or later to be installed and running!! *

To begin you will need to extract the file:

   bunzip2 ts-virtual-dev.vdi.bz2

Then, you will need to download and install VirtualBox from the main 
VirtualBox webpage at:

   http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Finally, see the following guide for setting up TS-VIRTUAL-DEV:
  
  ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/misc/virtualbox/ts-virtual-dev/ts-virtual-dev-setup.html

To login, use:

   UN: ts-user
   PW: ts-user

Other notes:

   * VirtualBox Guest Additions has been installed, enabling features
   like seamless windows, bidirectional clipboard, auto-resize guest
   display, mouse integration, etc.

   * There are several usage examples included in the folder titled
   "Technologic Systems" including commonly used commands as well as
   documentation for what was installed and why.

   * Familiarize yourself with terminology used when referring to
   virtual machines: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#id2870119

   * This virtual machine mimics a typical Linux development environment
   for a Technologic Systems employee (we get asked that question a lot,
   so here's the answer).

   * This virtual machine also includes all kernel sources for all boards
   as well as all cross compiler toolchains that one would need.  It also
   contains all of the busybox sources, an example helloworld.c program,
   and a GTK demo app.
