I. Introduction
Initially, this article is the content of the article "Virtual Machine Ubuntu 18.04 for Jetson AGX Xavier Using Jetpack4.4 Flashing Machine", but when I wrote it, I felt that it was too long, so I divided it into two articles. If you are flashing jetson series products, I strongly recommend VMware version 16 Pro or higher. In previous versions such as 14.x, the USB data line connection is very unstable when flashing, causing the virtual machine to freeze and the head is big. Of course It is also possible that my computer configuration is relatively low. VMware's all the way is installed by default, as there are many license keys online, you can search by yourself.
Two, installation
1, first go to the official website to download Ubuntu18.04 the image file
2. Click "Create a new virtual machine"
3. Click "Customize"
4. Click "Next"
5. Select "Install the operating system later" next
6. Choose Linux system, Ubuntu 64-bit, the next step
7. The virtual machine name and installation location can be changed by yourself, the next step
8. The default next step, cpu is better, you can configure more
9. Since sdkmanager occupies a high memory when running, it is best to allocate more than 8g
10. The next few steps can be the next step by default
11. The deep learning library and image file required due to flashing need to occupy more than 45G, so here we need to allocate more disks, personally choose 70G. The following operations can be the next step by default.
12. Click "Edit this virtual machine"
13. Change the CD/DVD option to the path of the Ubuntu image file we downloaded earlier, and click OK
14. Click the "Enable this virtual machine" option to enter the following interface, click the "Install Ubuntu" option, the next few steps default to continue
15. This step is more critical, we customize the allocation of disk space, select the last item
16. Right-click on "/dev/sda" and select "New Partition Table"
17. Next, I started to allocate disks. Here I skipped a few steps to introduce. In the end, the space I mounted on /boot was 1G, the swap space was 8G, and the space under "/" was 15.4G, because the library files needed for flashing More than 45G of space, so the remaining 50.6G is all given to the home directory, click "Install Now", "continue"
18. Fill in the user name and password, click "continue" to start the installation
19. After a long wait, click "Restart Now". Don't wait there stupidly during the process. There is a prompt on the screen, he told us to remove the mirror file, but you can just press Enter and the installation is complete
20. The virtual machine interface only has an area in the middle of the computer screen. In order to make it display normally, I use the method of installing VMware Tools. Click the "Virtual Machine" option in the menu bar, click "Install VMware Tools", and an icon will appear on the Ubuntu system desktop. Double-click the icon. Copy the compressed file to the home directory and decompress it.
21. Enter the vmware-tools-distrib folder, open a terminal here, and execute sudo ./vmware-install.pl. When installing, except for the first option, enter "yes" by default and press Enter. After the installation is complete, shut down
22. After shutting down, click "Edit this virtual machine" and change the CD/DVD option to "Use physical drive". Next, click "View" on the VMware menu bar, select "Automatically adapt to the client" in the "Automatically resize" option, and finally click "Turn on this virtual machine". The installation is now complete.
Three, summary
The disk partition in this article is to prepare for the flashing machine, the specific division method still needs to come according to one's own needs. In order to write this article, I specially reinstalled the virtual machine, which is a review, which is quite cumbersome. In short, the process of installing the Ubuntu system on my virtual machine is over, everyone learns from each other, welcome to correct me.
