Before attempting to use this type of acceleration, you should first
determine if your development system’s CPU supports one of the
following virtualization extensions technologies:
Intel Virtualization Technology (VT, VT-x, vmx) extensions
AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) extensions (only supported for Linux)
The
specifications from the manufacturer of your CPU should indicate if it
supports virtualization extensions. If your CPU does not support one
of these virtualization technologies, then you cannot use virtual
machine acceleration.
Note: Virtualization extensions are typically enabled through your
computer’s BIOS and are frequently turned off by default. Check the
documentation for your system’s motherboard to find out how to enable
virtualization extensions.
