To start the QEMU emulator from within Eclipse, follow these steps:
Expose and select "External Tools" from the "Run" menu. Your image should appear as a selectable menu item.
Select your image from the menu to launch the emulator in a new window.
If needed, enter your host root password in
the shell window at the prompt.
This sets up a Tap 0
connection
needed for running in user-space NFS mode.
Wait for QEMU to launch.
Once QEMU launches, you can begin operating
within that environment.
One useful task at this point would be to determine the
IP Address for the user-space NFS by using the
ifconfig
command.
