[okl4-developer] Booting Wombat on VMWare

[Kalamkar, Dhiraj D]

Hi Benno,

Thanks for reply.

Actually, I found that VMWare running with Intel VT support boots L4
correctly. However, without VT support it runs into previously mentioned
problem. From this I concluded that there must be some problem with
binary translation used by VMWare.

Thanks,
Dhiraj

Hi Dhiraj,

We haven't really tried using VMware as a target. (We have used VMware
as a useful host though.) We mostly use the Qemu simulator for
testing.

Cheers,
