The ISE tools run on an Oracle Linux 6.4 Virtual Machine (VM) and that Virtual Machine is deployed on the Windows 10 host machine using Oracle VirtualBox hypervisor.
The ISE Virtual Machine is deployed by default with the following configuration
- OS: Oracle Linux 6.4 64 bit
- Processor: 1 CPU
- Base Memory: 6144 MB
- Internal Disk Space: 64 GB
This configuration should be considered as the minimum configuration but is sufficient for all ISE devices development. You can change post-installation based on your needs and the capability of your Windows 10 host machine. See Oracle VirtualBox documentation: Chapter 3 Configuring virtual machines for details.
