We created a Virtual machine with all packages installed. We also installed Yocto Fido R2 on it.
Please download it from the FTP site and add it to your VMWare.
Features:
* Username: variscite
* Password: variscite
* Yocto Fido installed. skip to the section: [[VAR-SOM-MX6 Yocto Fido R2 Build Yocto_release#Setup_and_build_Yocto_QT5.2FX|Build Yocto release]]
* NFS server configured. ~/rootfs is the file system
* TFTP server configured. Use /tftpboot
* Minicom installed and configured. /dev/ttyUSB0 is the device.

Ubuntu 14.04 Ubuntu 16.04 Ubuntu 18.04 Ubuntu 20.04 Ubuntu 22.04
Yocto Krogoth (or earlier) x
Yocto Morty x x
Yocto Pyro x
Yocto Rocko x
Yocto Sumo x
Yocto Thud x
Yocto Warrior x
Yocto Zeus x
Yocto Dunfell x x
Yocto Gatesgarth x x
Yocto Hardknott x x
Yocto Kirkstone x x x
Yocto Langdale x x x
Yocto Mickledore x x

Installing Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit in VMWare Player (for Yocto Morty and below)

There are many tutorials on the web. For example:

Installing Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit in VMWare Player (for Yocto Morty through Warrior)

There are many tutorials on the web. For example:

VMware player recommended settings
