7.2.2 DVDK
DAVE Embedded Systems Virtual Development Kit is a virtual machine,
based on Oracle VirtualBox that allows developers to start using DAVE
Embedded Systems platform without wasting time in manually installing
the development environment. The Virtual Machine comes with all the
development tools and source code (pre-configured), and requires only a
minimal setup by the end user (usually only to adapt network interface to
the user environment).
DVDK can also be converted, easily, into a physical environment, for
example to increase speed on slower machines. Please note that DVDK
can be used also with VMWare.
