For the OVF documentation links see http://www.vmware.com/technical-resources/virtualization-topics/virtual-appliances/ovf 32825 1 sgw 2013-05-01 17:31:00 +0000 I think that we did have ovf files at one point and while its supposed to be a standard, there were some problems with it cross platform! We can investigate again, would welcome patches 79256 2 juro.bystricky 2018-01-29 17:36:48 +0000 It is currently possible to run BuildAppliance images using vmPlayer and VirtualBox. The Build Appliance package contains the file Yocto_Build_Appliance.vmx. It should be possible to convert this file using VMware OVF Tool if one needs the .OVA file. As the Build Appliance is being gradually deprecated, I am closing this issue (enhancement) as RESOLVED/WONTFIX.
