Getting Started
35 min
In this chapter you will establish the basis to pass the steps in this Quick
Start. First you will learn how to configure the host platform. You will
install additional software packages and setup the network configuration
for connecting your host to the target. After connecting the host to the
target, you will copy an application to the target. At the end of this chapter
you will be able to start a first demo application on the target.
2.1
Requirements of the Host Platform
To pass the following steps in this Quick Start, you will need a host PC
with an installation of openSUSE 11.0 (x86) and the KDE 3.5 desktop.
When you are installing openSUSE 11.0, you can select
KDE 3.5
as
Desktop selection
. The default packages to use openSUSE 11.0 with your
host PC will be selected automatically. This default selection will suffice to
pass the steps in these Quick Start Instructions. The installation of
additional packages and configurations will be described on the following
pages.
In the following configuration steps we assume that the host PC is not
connected to any other network. The target and host will be connected with
a cross-over cable via a peer-to-peer connection. If your host is part of a
company’s network, we recommend disconnecting your host from such a
network.
In these Quick Start Instructions you will have to shutdown the firewall and
configure the network card of your host PC. If your host PC is connected to
another network, changing the IP address can cause conflicts with existing
hosts.
