Bitcraze Forums

Hello!
To go further in the development of Crazyflie software and solve some hardware failures, I decided to use Bitcraze's virtual machine system. As an hypervisor, I installed the Virtual Manager from libvirt library in my Debian 9 system. Then, I download the .ova file from Github.
Everything works perfectly when I applied following process:
1/ use command line to run libvert-convert on BitcrazeVM_2018.01.ova to get .raw disk image BitcrazeVM-disk001.raw. A disk file is created for VM in the directory /var/lib/libvirt/images
2/ open Virtual Manager: BitcrazeVM.ovf is running under connection QEMU/KVM,
3/ connect a joystick and the Crazyradio,
4/ in menu of virtual machine, select: redirect USB,
5/ check the corresponding USB ports for the joysticks a the Crazyradio (verify the vendor:product code using lsusb). A warning message was issued which can be neglected.
Now, you have access to the functions of the Bitcraze's virtual machine and follow the wiki.
Enjoy!

Hello!
When running my new Bitcraze's virtual machine, I was asked to update Ubuntu system from 14 to 16...
BEWARE: don't do it!
I did, and after some hours, the Ubuntu system was implemented but the Bitcraze VM was lost. I had to reinstall it from scratch.

Thanks for the instructions and pointers Jean-Claude!
