15 Requireme nts Requir ements CHAPTER 2 System Req uirements/Prer e quisite s System re quir e ments Y our development system sh ould be a reason ably fast x86- based h ost PC with an Ether net interface, a serial port, and a parallel port.
System Requirements/Prerequisites 16 LxNETE S User’s Guide DOS or D OS- emu l a tor (s uch a s do sem u) Optional but r ecommended c omponents: Qt3 devel opment tools For using LxNETES, a recent Linux distributio n based on GN U C Library gl ibc versi on 2.
17 Requireme nts Applications & Services T o use this software, your system has to be confi gured to build a stand ard Linux 2.6. If you can bui ld a kernel for you r development platform, you can b e sure that all the necessary software is installed.
System Requirements/Prerequisites 18 LxNETE S User’s Guide NFS se rver Use the netw ork file system ( N FS ) to simpli fy appli cation d e buggin g on the target. NFS allows your t arget to mount i ts ro ot file syste m with read /write p e rmissions fro m th e host computer over Ethe rnet.
19 Requireme nts After modi fying the exports file, th e NFS server has to be restarte d with the follo w ing command: JT AG-Boo ster The JT AG-Booster software for h ardware Flash updates is a DOS application. It must be installed on a native DOS / W indows host or a virtual machine like "dosemu " under Linux.

21 Getting Started Getting S tarted CHAPTER 3 Intr oduction This chap ter describes how to conf igure and test you r host PC and development boar d (target) and how to start up the device for the v ery fi rst time.
Introduction 22 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide T o use a terminal client as non-roo t user , either you need read / write access to /dev/tty S <n> or th e cl ient ha s to be set ui d root. Minicom T o configure minicom, start it as roo t by entering: Go to “Seri al port setup” and change the values to your en vironment.
23 Getting Started Figure 3-2: Seyon Se ttings S tep 4: Connect power Connect th e included power suppl y to the development board. After power -on, the LEDs on the b oard wil l light up an d 2- 4 secon ds later th e system will print b oot m essages o n the console.
Introduction 24 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide After Linux started successful ly , you can ent er commands such as "ls", " cd", or "cat"on the shell. S tep 5: T est Ethernet configuration The tar get uses a default I P address on the 192.
25 Getting Started The tar get network para meters can be changed i n U-Boot using the "set env" command. Y ou can see the IP address of the t arget by issui n g this command: In this examp le, the target dev ice has been gi ven an IP addr ess o f 192.

Linux boot pr ocess 48 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide Upda te the ken el from th e USB stick to the me mory a nd write it to flas h memory . Linux boot pr ocess The command “ bootm” uncompress the kernel and runs the f unction st art_kernel().
49 Advanced Topics Uncomp ressing Linux. ......... ......... ....... .......... ......... ....... ......... ......... . done, bo oting the kern el.
Linux boot pr ocess 50 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide If a wrong comman d line paramete r for "console= " is used, nothi ng will be displ ayed after "done, booting the kernel". The syst em may continue to bo ot. Y ou may connect to the target by T elnet after telnetd is config u red .
51 Advanced Topics Updating a running sy stem (the easy way) On a running system, that is a system able t o start the boot lo ader, U- Boot contains pre- defined macr os that can update t he on-module fl ash memory . Power up (o r reset) the target.
Linux boot pr ocess 52 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide S tep 1: Download the new image file to RAM The first step is to download the image into RAM. Speci fy the start address, the end address, and t he size of the image i n RAM, for example: S tep 2: Erase the Flash partition The second step is to erase the Flash partiti on sectors.
53 Advanced Topics For modules wi th NOR flash, use this comman d: ConnectCor e 9P 9360/9750 The followi ng commands are to upda te the U-Boot loader , Kernel image, and Root file system. U-Boot T o update the U-Boot boot lo ader, type: mw.
Updating a corrupted syste m using a debugger 54 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide Updating a corrupted syst em using a deb u gger ConnectCor e 9P 9360/9750 If the Flash memory has become corrupted and the system cannot boot anym ore, then the Flash memory must b e re-programmed using the JT AG i nterface and the JT AG-Booster .
55 Root File Sy stem Types Root File System T ypes CHAPTER 8 The following de scri bes the dif ferent possibilities which can be used as root file system. The type of rootfs must be passed a s an ar gument to kernel by means of the bootar gs environment variable of U-Boot.
56 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide This scrip t does three s teps (that you ca n also do manually): S tep 1: Set bootargs to be passed to the kernel The enviro nment al var i able boo targs must be u pdat ed t o te ll L i nux that t he roo tfs is taken via NFS.
57 Root File Sy stem Types JFFS2 JFFS is a l og-structured journaling flash fi le system which was desig ned to be used on Flash d evices in embedded systems. It was ori ginall y develope d fo r the 2.0 k ernel b y Axis Communicati ons.
58 LxNETES Us er’s Gu ide The message above i s printed if t h e file system was not cleanly unmou nted. The system should not be po wered o ff before all par titions are u nmoun ted. Aft er a clea n un mount, the message should disappear .
59 Root File Sy stem Types Y ou should use a separate data partition fo r your data which is frequently updated so your rootfs does not get corrupted.
