Should work, just give it a try. We once started to play with our full embedded distro under bochs, but I do not recall right now how far we came - need to check with the person who actually did the work. Anyway, RTAI used to run fine under ancient VMware, I do not see any reason why this shouldn't work for Xenomai as well. If it breaks and Xenomai crashes, please post the results. If your VM goes South - switch to another product. ;) Jan
