8. The Raspberry Pi and the host computer must be on the same network. The Pi should be connected through the wired network.
9. Computer Requirements:
The class will use a VirtualBox image running a Linux Distro as a guest operating system. Qt and Qt Creator will be pre-installed in the image, so there is no need to install them directly. ICS will provide the VirtualBox guest image. Participants must download and install VirtualBox version 7.x, and the VirtualBox extensions. The Development Image will require a minimum of 2GB or RAM and 30 GB of disc space. We Recommend you provide 4(+) Cpu cores and 4GB of RAM to the VM to speed up build times during the class.
