My company has an embedded system we would like to run within a virtual machine. The system runs on FreeBSD 8.1 and has been extensively trimmed. As an example, of this trimming, we only use the VXMNET and VXMNET3 drivers out of VMware tools. We would like to use the VMware heartbeat functions for our reset watchdog.
I have downloaded and read the Guest SDK. The good news is that it has the API I need to add the functionality. The bad news is that the binary-only libraries that present the API are not for FreeBSD 8.1.
Could someone please tell me how to perform the three mentioned API functions, without the need for the library?
Sincerely,
Vincent
