Restoring and Updating the EVM Hard Disk Drive
A-10
A.5.2 Restoring From Host Linux Workstation File System
Follow these steps to restore the HDD from the host Linux workstation
restore directory:
1) On your host workstation, copy the restore directory from the TI
DVSDK disk to /home/< useracct >/workdir/filesys/restore. After NFS
mounting this file system, this will appear as the /restore directory on
the EVM.
2) Login to the EVM as root.
3) Go to the /restore directory.
EVM # cd /restore
4) Set the Linux date variable to today's date. If the date is too far off,
the target file system installation generates warnings for each file it
installs.
EVM # date MMDDHHMMCCYY
For example, for 9:00 am on April 18th, 2006, enter 041809002006.
5) Add execute permissions on the prep-hdd script.
EVM # chmod +x prep-hdd
6) Run the prep-hdd script in the /restore directory.
EVM # ./prep-hdd /restore
7) The script will ask for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to
partition and format /dev/hda?" Type yes .
8) After the HDD restore is complete, shutdown the EVM:
EVM # halt
9) When the "Power down" message is printed in the terminal window,
it is safe to power down the EVM.
10) Restart the EVM and configure U-Boot to root mount via the local
HDD. Follow the steps in Section A.3.1, Booting from Flash Using the
EVM’s Hard Drive File System .
