Can IOX run on general computer environment?

[dalujia163]

Hi, could somebody tell me whether IOX can run on general computer environment, or the IOX must be tied with the Cisco device?

And I am survey cisco‘s solution about wireless communication between device？ Could someone give me some suggestion or hint，

thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Lu,

IOX includes Cisco IOS Network Operating System along with a Guest Operating System (GOS) running on a hypervisor. As of now, only the CGR 1000 series platforms support IOX. IOX support for 819H is coming soon.

It is possible to deploy the GOS on a Type 2 Hypervisor on Windows/Linux/Mac. Instructions for Windows are documented here: Deploying Yocto using OVA/VMDK. GOS can also be installed on Ubuntu using Qemu. The procedure is documented here: Bringing up Yocto on Qemu.pdf

Can you also throw some light on what kind of wireless communications are you looking for?

Thanks,

Anuj

Hi Anuj,

I wonder if which GOS contains IOx client package ?

Is there any solid IOx/Fog management platform ?

Does Yocto support IOx ?

Thanks

Anju,

Do your instructions for running a GOS on Windows/Ubuntu only apply to a CGR or also an 819 ova from the SDK?  I tried to run test.ova in VirtualBox on Windows and got the following:

Thank you,
