Project Goal

Create a plug and play VistA virtual appliance to support training and demonstration activities.

Development Milestones:

Virtual environment selection: QEMU

  • Host Configuration: 10%
  • Guest Configuration: 33%
  • Installer design and development: 2%
  • User documentation: 5%
  • Technical documentation: 1%
  • Testing and User Acceptance: 0%

Development Steps

Host architecture

  • Resource directory
  • Guest launch scripting

Modifications: qemu-win.bat

The .bat file that comes with QEMU has been modified to launch Toaster.

The original file:

REM Start qemu on windows. @ECHO OFF REM SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx is faster than windib. But keyboard cannot work well. SET SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib REM SDL_AUDIODRIVER=waveout or dsound can be used. Only if QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=sdl. SET SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsound REM QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=dsound or fmod or sdl or none can be used. See qemu -audio- help. SET QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=dsound REM QEMU_AUDIO_LOG_TO_MONITOR=1 displays log messages in QEMU monitor. SET QEMU_AUDIO_LOG_TO_MONITOR=0 qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -hda linux.img -soundhw all -localtime
