I'm studying React Native.
Unfortunately Windows 10 Home is not Support Hyper-V. Since, i can't use Android Studio Simulator.
Is there any way to run Simulator.
I have no idea where you got your information that you can't use it.
Android Studio's emulator uses HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) on Intel CPUs, which in return is also used by Hyper-V.
Hyper-V is a very self-absorbed technology that doesn't play well with others (just like many other things Windows offers) and having it ON is actually what screws things up and you need a workaround in that situation.
I also have Win10 Home on one of my computers and tried running the emulator with a default Basic task project on a virtual Pixel 2 with Android 8.1 Oreo. It works.
Sorry, mine was AMD Processor, for AMD HAXM no need, instead have to install Hypervision for AMD Processor in Sdk tool.
It worked.
I've installed Windows 8 as guest in Hyper-V VM. Tried to launch WP8 emulator and failed.
So I have a question: Is it possible to reuse WP8 emulators in host system to develop inside virtual machine?
As far as I know - it's not possible, you can only debug on real devices or emulators running on the same machine. Also the machine for running emulators must run on bare metal, not in virtualized environment because of some requiredm CPU features like SLAT.
I think this is a common problem for all developers using Windows CE 6.0 operating systems on specific hardware. I have a client that needs a custom operating system for its ICOP PDX-089T PC with Touch panel, that is based on DM&P SoC CPU Vortex86DX-1GHz.
I do not have the hardware with me, so every time I make a change I have to send at least the NK.bin file, or the whole ghost image to the client to make the tests for.
Is there any way to build a custom Windows CE emulator to add it to Visual Studio 2005 for testing or may be a custom virtual machine to launch it through VMWare or Virtual PC?
I tried some guidelines from the internet to build one, but every effort in making one resulted in hanging up my PC.
Does anybody have similar needs and some solution?
Note: The emulator I need is for Vortex86DX processor and ICOP board.
Microsoft abandoned the x86 Emulator some time ago, choosing to support only an ARM emulator (the BSP ships in the box with Platform Builder 6.0). This means that you can't create an emulator for the x86 processor, though I'm hard-pressed to think of a scenario where you'd really need to and where just getting hardware isn't a better solution for anyway.
There is a BSP for doing Virtual PC OS builds that would run on x86. It's not had much activity in some time, and I've never tried it, so YMMV.
This programming guide implies that this is possible, so I figure what the heck.
Right now, though, it doesn't work.
Host OS is Vista 64-bit, VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 is running Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
Installed Software on the VM:
Visual C# 2010 Express
Microsoft Server Speech Platform Runtime
Microsoft Server Speech Recognition Language - Kinect
Microsoft Speech Platform SDK
Kinect for Windows SDK Beta
I plug in the Kinect, the device is recognized by the VM, then I run the Sample Shape Game and it doesn't recognize the device. It says "Plug in the Kinect and try again" which turns out to be error 0x80080014, which leads to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/kinectsdknuiapi/thread/4da8c75e-9aad-4dc3-bd83-d77ab4cd2f82/
which gives me two things to look at:
is it plugged in with the special cable? yes
are all 4 entries in the Device Manager? no
In the Device Manager, I see a "Microsoft Kinect" group containing Microsoft Kinect Audio Control, Microsoft Kinect Camera and Microsoft Kinect Device, but there is nothing under "Sound, video and game controllers" other than VMware VMaudio. "Kinect USB Audio" should be there.
I'm guessing that there is some further twiddling I have to do with the VMWare USB / hardware options (whatever that tray with the USB / CD / HD / floppy etc icons is called) or some deft combination of rebooting and (un)plugging, but I'm almost out of enthusiasm.
Any ideas? TIA
EDIT: I realized that I had some lingering drivers on my host (Vista) system from OpenKinect. After removing them, I can no longer see the Kinect at all in the VM. Hmm.
There is this on read.me
Virtual machines: You must run applications built with the Kinect for Windows SDK Beta in a native Windows environment. Kinect for Windows applications cannot run in a virtual machine, because the Microsoft Kinect drivers and this SDK Beta must be installed on the computer where the application is running.
just to share that (not really understood how) VM Workstation 8 running in a host win 7 x64 with guest OS Ubuntu 10.04 sucessfully detected and installed Kinect drivers.
I was able to test it with libfreenect (OpenKinect Project) http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Manual_Build_on_Linux
best regards,
I'm late to the party, but we've been running and developing for the Kinect with Windows 7 running under VMWare under Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
I'm not a Computer Scientist, but I thought Turing showed that a universal Touring Machine was basically the same as physical hardware. I've had Distributed COM+ running on 3 or 4 VM's on the same physical hardware, but somehow the Kinect device is different? I don't buy that at all.
The most recent version of Microsoft Kinect for Windows (v1.6, possibly slightly earlier versions) in combination with the "Kinect for Windows" hardware does work inside a virtual machine. I run this setup on a MacBook Pro, Parallels 7 and Windows 7.
Note that a Kinect for Xbox does not work inside a virtual machine.
This page from Microsoft says that the "Kinect for Windows" device should work in a VM, but that the "Kinect for XBOX" does NOT work.
First of all you just need two Things to be installed:
libfreenect
libusb
after that you should set three flags to 0x02 at the line
typedef enum {FREENECT_DEVICE_MOTOR = 0x02,FREENECT_DEVICE_CAMERA = 0x02,FREENECT_DEVICE_AUDIO = 0x02,} freenect_device_flags;
Inside the headerfile located at /usr/local/include/libfreenect libfreenect.h but you will lose the ability to control the movement and the the microphone usage will be disabled so don't even try to access them or your device might get damaged after that you should also set
#define PKTS_PER_XFER 32
#define NUM_XFERS 6
inside your libfreenect/src/usb_libusb10.h file at the linux Line
After that rebuild your libfreenect by
mkdir build
cd build cmake ..
make make install.
Than Restart your virtual System and plug and connect only the Kinect Camera Device and no other Kinect device during start of the VM. When System is up you could test your device is properly working by switching to your previously created libfreenect build directory and go to bin there you run ./freenect-camtest you should get no or only a small number of package losses if a lot of losses occur try restart your vm with the camera device pluged in and already connected to your vm. You might need to active disconnect and connect the Webcam from the VM during startup to receive images this should be done during first seconds of VM Boottime!
Works with Ubuntu 14.04 and Workstation 10 and 11 and 11.1
HOST OS Windows 7 and Kinect SDK installed and Kinectdevice for Windows
Also it seems to be quite unstable you often have to restart your virtual system if you can't receive images from your Kinect. But if you once received images don't unplug device or you won't get data until you reboot virtual system with Kinect Camera connected to it.
=> This actually solved the problem otherwise to much frames get lost and its not possible to display proper image!

Some programs are directly bootable and have a nice GUI
e.g. Acronis OS Selector and Disk Director (screenshot)
How can they run wihtout underlying OS? Can this be acheived by using a minimal Linux distribution?
goal: the program should run such that it appears independent of the os (e.g you dont have to launch it from the os cmd or desktop)
also the OS should not have increase the size of the program a bit too much
Also I wonder if Qt GUI's can run like this...
I suspect that Acronis OS Selector and Disk Director uses their own version of Windows 7.
Yes, you can produce a program that has it's own operating system. You could use a bootable Linux distribution.
Knoppix, to pick one example, is a bootable Linux distribution.
The story behind a comprehensive GUI + bootable program is somewhat like this:
Develop the program in a linux GUI toolkit
On boot, load a linux kernel (without any desktop environment)
Hand over the control to the program GUI
