Revision as of 03:18, 14 March 2013

This tutorial shows how to install a XubunTOS Virtual Machine Image in VirtualBox with a fully functional TinyOS setup on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu). TinyOS is installed from the tp-freeforall/prod repository (version: 5th March, 2013).

The XubunTOS Virtual Machine Image can be downloaded from here: XubunTOS.ova

The image has been created on 5th March, 2013 and is in OVF format. This means that the image should also work with other virtualization tools, not only with VirtualBox. The image has been tested on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.04.

Installation on Windows

This tutorial is based on Windows 7, but it should also work on Windows XP or Windows 8.

  1. Download VirtualBox. Make sure you choose the right version (in this case Virtualbox x.y.z for Windows Hosts)!
  2. Download VirtualBox x.y.z Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack from the same site. (We need it for proper USB connections.)
  3. Run VirtualBox-x.y.z-_____-Win.exe.

Installation on Linux

This tutorial is based on Ubuntu 13.04, but it should also work on any Linux distribution that's supported by VirtualBox.

  1. Download VirtualBox. Make sure you choose the right version for your Linux distribution!
  2. Download VirtualBox x.y.z Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack from here. (We need it for proper USB connections.)
  3. Double-click on virtualbox-w.x.y.z-___.deb.
