如何在Vmware上运行Openwrt。只有Kamikaze的X86[2.6]以上版本能正常工作，不支持老的稳定版本（WhiteRussian）。已经在Windows XP和Linux主机上测试了该方法。
使用一个预编译的版本。
e.g. using PuTTY connected to \\.\pipe\com_1 @ 115200 8n1

创建你的镜像
为了建立你自己的Kamikaze VMware镜像，你需要一个OpenWrt开发环境 (还需要qume-img 来转换镜像格式):
（译者注：ubuntu用户可以使用： sudo apt-get install qemu）
check out with 'svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/' (or download the stable kamikaze release)
运行make menuconfig，并选择
Target System (x86 [2.6])
Target Profile (VMware image)
Target Images
[ ] jffs2 ←- N
[ ] squashfs ←- N
(115200) Serial port baud rate
(128) Filesystem part size (in MB)
ext2
Build VMware image files (VMDK). Requires qemu-img
Kernel Modules
Network Devices
kmod-e1000 (Vmware需要这个网络接口)
运行'make' 建立x86镜像(将会出现在bin/x86/openwrt-x86-2.6-ext2.image )
qemu-img convert -f raw openwrt-x86-ext2.image -O vmdk openwrt-x86-ext2.vmdk
建立VMware配置文件
Basic Configuration
Virtual Machine Name: OpenWrt Kamikaze (x86-2.6)
Select GuestOS: Generic Linux 2.6.x
Memory Size: 128 MB
Network Configuration
Ethernet0:
Enabled: checked
Connection Type: Bridged
VirtualDevice Intel(R) Pro/1000
Ethernet1:
Enabled: checked
Connection Type: Bridged
VirtualDevice Intel(R) Pro/1000
Disk Configuration
SCSI: Disable SCSI
IDE0:Master:
Enabled: checked
File Name / Floppy Device: openwrt-x86-2.6-ext2.vmdk
Start Connected: checked
WriteThru: checked
Autodetect Name: checked
Other Configuration Options
VMWare Tools: Don't Remind to Install VMWare Tools
Startup Hints: Hide Startup Hints
USB: Disable USB
LPT1: Disable LPT1
Soundcard: No soundcard support
Logging: Disable Logging
You have to make a few changes to the generated vmx file:
+serial0.fileType = "pipe"
-serial0.fileName = "COM1"
+serial0.fileName = "\\.\pipe\com_1"
+serial0.pipe.endPoint = "server"
+floppy0.present = "FALSE"
将这个配置保存为openwrt-x86-2.6-ext2.vmx 并和镜像文件保存在同一目录下。
完成这些之后，可以使用VMware打开这个vmx文件，或者简单的双击它。玩得愉快~
