Configure Tizen Studio

Additional Requirements

This page explains you the summary of various requirements that are necessary to configure your development environment for optimal and seamless development experience. Tizen studio tools such as Emulator, Web Inspector, and various other tools need to be configured specifically on your development hardware, such that the dependent development processes work efficiently.

Tizen Studio Emulator

Tizen Studio Emulator simulates Tizen based devices on your computer, so that you can test your Tizen applications without having the requirement of each physical device. Tizen Studio Emulator provides almost all of the capabilities of a real Tizen based device.

To use Tizen Studio Emulator, ensure that your development hardware meets the following configurations:

Component	Requirements
CPU	Support for Intel Virtualization Technology (VTx)
Screen Resolution	1280 x 1024
NVIDIA® Graphics Card	If the host machine uses the NVIDIA® Optimus® technology, the emulator works with the onboard graphics card. To prevent this, either disable the Optimus® technology or set the emulator to run with the external NVIDIA graphics card. Note You must upgrade to the latest vendor-provided version of the graphics card driver for OpenGL® ES acceleration.</p>
System Drivers	Windows®: To check and install the latest drivers, open Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update.
System Drivers	Ubuntu®: To check and install the latest Ubuntu drivers, open System Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers.
Webcam	Use the emulator with an inbuilt webcam. The webcam must support the USB Video Class (UVC) driver. The supported image formats are: UYYY, YYU420, YUY420, and YUYY.

Google Chrome® Browser

You can use the Web Inspector tool in the Google Chrome browser for debugging your applications. For more information, see Web Inspector. The Web Inspector server uses the Web core of the platform.

Note

You must use Google Chrome™ browser version 52 or lower, such that all the functions of the Web Inspector work properly. For more information, see Google Chrome™.

T-Trace

The T-Trace tool is a Tizen profiling tool that is used to optimize the performance of an application.

The following table lists the requirements that you must ensure to use the T-Trace tool:

Component Requirement
