* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/armdevpkg/files/virtualbox_experimental Download this virtual hard disk] file from Sourceforge
* Unzip the virtual hard disk to somewhere safe and permanent, such as '''C:/Documents/sjsu_vm/```

=== Setup VM on VirtualBox ===
* Download and install '''VirtualBox''' for your operating system (Windows, MacOS etc.)
* Install and run '''VirtualBox'''
* Click on '''NEW'''
* Give your VM (virtual machine) a name
* Select the '''Type''' as '''Linux'''
* Select '''Version''' as '''Ubuntu (64-bit)''' and click '''Continue'''
* Choose 2560 or more MB of RAM and click '''Continue'''
* Choose '''Use an existing virtual hard disk file''' and browse to the VM disk you downloaded, and then click '''Create'''

=== Configure VM ===
* Click on the VM you created in VirtualBox, then click '''Settings'''
* Go to '''Advanced''' and under '''Shared Clipboard''', select '''Bidirectional'''
* Click on '''System''' and ensure 2560 Mbytes (2.5 GBytes) or greater RAM (assuming your laptop has at least 8 Gbytes or so
* If your system allows, use 2 CPUs under '''Processor'''
* Under '''Display''' use '''128Mbytes''' of RAM
* Under '''Audio''', de-select to disable Audio

=== Setup COM port on VM ===
* Start your Ubuntu OS
* Plugin your USB cable to the board and ensure your board has power
* After the system boots, go to '''Devices''' on VirtualBox menu, then '''USB" and select the USB board to virtually plug into the VM

=== Use Development Environment ===
* Open the '''SJSU_dev''' folder when the Ubuntu VM boots
* Double click on '''run_eclipse''' to start Eclipse IDE
* Develop your code and hit '''Ctrl + B''' to compile in Eclipse
** Ensure the program has compiled successfully
* Right click anywhere (but not on a file) in '''SJSU_dev''' folder and then click on '''Open terminal'''
* Type '''sudo ./run_flash''' to program the compiled HEX file to the board
** Note that this assumes you have a file built at '''projects/lpc1758_freertos/_build/lpc1758_freertos.hex'''
** Note that this assumes your serial port is at '''/dev/ttyUSB0'''
** If the assumptions above are not true, you can edit the '''run_flash''' file
