This is a note to myself and my students about installing Keil uVision via Virtual Machines.
1. Virtual Box
This instruction is intended for Ubuntu Linux, but the steps should be similar for MacOS
2a. Windows XP
On WinXP, download and install v5.18 instead of latest version.
2b. Windows 10 (Slower on most machines)
The Keil ARM-MDK only supports Windows OS. For Linux/Mac users, the only way for running that for our lab exercises is to use a Virtual Machine (VM). The following steps will help you set up a free Windows 10 (Win10) VM using VirtualBox and run Keil uVision inside.
-
Download and install an official Microsoft Windows 10 Virtual Machine: Windows 10 with Legacy Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 (6.7 GB)
-
Install VirtualBox
-
Unzip the file from step 1 and import that in VirtualBox.
-
Start the Win10. Transfer the Keil installer (+ software pack) to the VM (e.g. Drag-n-Drop). Install Keil uVision and software pack inside the VM.
-
Test running Keil uVision with our lab files.
