Virtual Machine Configuration

The Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute SDK (Intel® Movidius™ NCSDK) can be installed on a virtual machine. This allows you to run the NCSDK on an unsupported host OS and/or to keep the NCSDK installation isolated from your host system.

We have validated the installation with VirtualBox but other virtual machine products may also work with customization specific to that product.

General Requirements

Installation

Virtual Machine Creation

Use an existing Ubuntu virtual machine that meets installation requirements, or set up a new virtual machine with the following settings:

If necessary, download an Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop .iso image file on your host machine. Then, start the virtual machine and follow prompts to install Ubuntu 16.04.

USB Configuration

You must enable a USB 3.0 controller and create USB whitelist filters for the virtual machine. The USB 3.0 feature requires the VirtualBox Extension Pack.

Install the NCSDK

Start the virtual machine. In the virtual machine, follow Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute SDK Installation and Configuration directions to install the NCSDK.
