+# RIOT VM
+
+
+## About
+This repository includes a [Vagrantfile](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/blob/master/Vagrantfile)
+to create and control a Linux virtual machine based on an Ubuntu Trusty (64-bit) image that contains
+all necessary toolchains and dependencies to build and flash compatible devices with RIOT-OS.
+The advantage of using this VM is to have a reproducable, portable and even disposable environment
+that can be used to develop for RIOT-OS with decreased setup times and without the requirement of
+making changes to the underlying host system.
+
+## Requirements
+Make sure your system satisfies the latest version of all following dependencies:
+* [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
+* [VirtualBox Exntension Pack](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
+* [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)
+
+## Usage
+The following commands must be run from the RIOT-OS root directory on the host system.
+
+```
+vagrant up
+```
+This will start up the virtual machine and download the Ubuntu image as well as all necessary toolchains.
+```
+vagrant ssh
+```
+This will logs you in to the VM as the vagrant user.
+```
+vagrant halt
+```
+This will shut down the VM gracefully.
+```
+vagrant destroy
+```
+This will reset your VM to the default state. All modifications made to the VM by the
+[provisioning script](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/tree/master/dist/tools/vagrant/bootstrap.sh)
+and by you will be removed.
+```
+vagrant provision
+```
+This will re-run the [provisioning script](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/tree/master/dist/tools/vagrant/bootstrap.sh).
+
+## Inside the VM
+Once logged in to the VM via `vagrant ssh` you can find the RIOT-OS root directory in your
+working directory. This is a shared directory and stays synchronized with your RIOT-OS directory
+on the host system. All changes made will be mirrored from the host system to the guest system
+and vice versa.
+
+This feature allows you to conveniently develop code for RIOT-OS with your preferred IDE on
+your host system and use the VM for compiling, flashing devices and running the native port of RIOT-OS.
+
+## Additional Information
+For new boards it is necessary to add new udev rules to `dist/tools/vagrant/udev_rules` and
+additional usb filters to the Vagrantfile so that VirtualBox is able to capture the devices.
+The needed `vendor id` and `product id` can be obtained by running `vboxmanage list usbhost`.
