Installing MontaVista Linux
This section explains how to network boot MontaVista Linux from the
RadiSys-supplied LSP.
Configure the host to boot EPC-6315 over the network
The following sections provide instructions on how to configure the different
components of the host system. These instructions are for only Linux hosts running
Red Hat 7.3 or later.
Extract the kernel source and filesystem
1. Obtain the MontaVista Linux host tools from MontaVista (
).
2. Install the tools according to the host tools instructions. When the installation
prompts you to install an LSP, choose any LSP based on an Intel Pentium III
processor.
3. Extract kernel source files from the RadiSys-supplied LSP archive to a work area.
Configure DHCP
To configure DHCP as root:
1. Make sure a DHCP server is installed and that the following file exists:
If the file does not exist, create an empty one using the Unix touch command:
2. Edit the DHCP daemon configuration file:
A. Add the following configuration into your /etc/dhcpd.conf file:
allow bootp;
allow booting;
subnet
SubAddress
netmask
NetAddress
{
default-lease-time 1209600; # two weeks
max-lease-time 31557600; # one year
group {
next-server
TFTPAddress
;
option routers
Gateway
;
host
Target
{
hardware ethernet
MACAddress
;
fixed-address
IPAddress
;
option root-path "/opt/mvlcge/devkit/x86/pentium3/target";
filename "bzImage.nb.mba";
}
Ensure that the DHCP server is configured correctly. An incorrect configuration
may cause problems for other machines on your network.
