[Gpephone-devel] brief on vmware image usage

[Yu Yijun]

Hi, guys.
Nils and Florian have kindly given directions on vmware image, and here is the composition and add-ons.
1. switch from emulator pic to console

Inside VMware be careful that the VMware has the mouse focus (you move
the VMware pointer and it shows a pointer not the hand). Then you should
be able to change to VMware's VT1 using (press and hold one after another:
 SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-F1
four keys at a time, start with press and hold SHIFT and then the next
keys. That should be the safest.

2. switch from console to emulator pic
     ALT-F3
3. access host hardware from emulator environment
Check file GPEPhoneDemo.vmx to know this emulator enviroment's "hardware configuration". e.g. in this file,
line serial0.fileName = "/dev/GSM-Modem" means that serial 0(/dev/ttyS0) in the emulator corresponding to the /dev/GSM-Modem in the host system.

4. modify the emulator file system content
in the console of emulator, running the cmd:
udhcpc
to get an ip of the emulator. then you can copy files between emulator and host using network connection. e.g.
I got ip of emulator 172.16.248.129 using udhcpc, and in the host, ip of vmnet8 is 172.16.248.1, and I can copy file xxx from host to emulator:
scp yijun at 172.16.248.1:/tmp/xxx .

BTW,  a few introduction words about myself,
I'am Yijun YU. In the past days, I contributed arch design to some code here and I am happy to continue my contribution to this community on my spare time in the future. I'd like to work with all interested guys here.
