    1. Download and install VirtualBox
    2. Get an OpenWrt image:
    3. Either use an existing image,
    4. Download the generic combined image for x86 (32-bit), e.g. chaos_calmer/15.05.1/x86/) LEDE 17.01.1 x86
    5. Download the generic combined image for x86_x64 (64-bit), e.g. chaos_calmer/15.05.1/x86/64) LEDE 17.01.1 x86_x64
    6. Uncompress the image if needed: gunzip openwrt.img.gz
    7. Convert it to native VirtualBox format:
    ```
    VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI openwrt.img openwrt.vdi (in virtualbox version 5.0.12 the "--format VDI" is at the end of command)
    ```
    8. For vmdk format : VirtualBox format:
    ```
    VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VMDK openwrt.img openwrt.vmdk
    ```
    9. Or compile your own image (Target System → x86 and Target Images → Build VirtualBox image files). ext4 needs to be enabled first.
