As described in the previous section, you can log in to your emulator VM from your Host Machine using the ssh command.

Bringing up the Emulator on VMWare Player

...

Install VMplayer in Host Machine

Use the below Link download to install VMware Player on host

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0|PLAYER-504|product_downloads

After downloading

sudo ./VMware-Player-<Version>.bundle (LInux OS)

Run  VMware-Player-<Version>.exe  (Windows OS)

Reason for VMplayer: in Mesa Higher versions EGL-PLATFORM fbdev is not available as it is deprecated so we tried using DRM (Direct Rendering Manager driver for graphics)

for DRM driver is available only in vmware only (vmwgfx so we have gone for VMware Player)
 

Steps to bring up RDK Emulator on VMware Player

1        Once VMware Player is installed, open the VMWare Player  using the command

2       Click File --> Create a New Virtual Machine --> Select  'i will install my operating system later' --> click Next

3       Select 'Linux' --> Version  'Other Linux 3.x kernel' --> Click Next --> Give name --> Click Next

4       Maximum Disk Size : 8 Gb --> Select 'Store Virtual Disk as a Single File' --> Click Next --> Memory for this Virtual Machine '512 Mb' --> Click 'Close'  --> Click  'Finish'

5       Click 'Edit virtual machine settings' --> select Hard Disk (IDE) --> Click 'Remove'   -->Click  'Add'  --> Select Hard Disk  --> Select  'Use existing Virtual Hard disk'

6       File browse and set the path to the *.vmdk  file --> Click Finish --> Click 'Keep Existing Format'

7       Network Adapter select Bridge Adapter  --> Click Save

8       Click Play Virtual Machine

         Cannot connect the virtual device ide1:0 because no corresponding device is available on the host.
         Do you want to try to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine? [YES] [NO]

          You select [NO]

9       This will bring the emulator up with the initial splash screen followed by RDK-Browser as startup application.
