The IX20 local file system
The IX20 local file system has approximately 150 MB of space available for storing files, such as Python
programs, alternative configuration files and firmware versions, and release files, such as cellular
module images. The writable directories within the filesystem are:
n
/tmp
n
/opt
n
/etc/config
Files stored in the /tmp directory do not persist across reboots. Therefore, /tmp is a good location to
upload temporary files, such as files used for firmware updates. Files stored in /opt and /etc/config do
persist across reboots, but are deleted if a factory reset of the system is performed. See
for more information.
