Making the Evaluation Image Recovery Tool USB Drive
Before you make a bootable recovery USB image, you must have booted the host computer from the evaluation LiveUSB drive
(or from a development workstation that has had the LiveUSB contents installed on its hard drive). Then:
1.
Insert a second USB flash drive that is 2 GB or larger into your host computer (Note: This is not supplied
as part of the kit).
2.
Open a terminal window.
3.
Change to the root user, then execute the following commands to transfer the recovery image to the target
device.
cd /home/wruser/WindRiver/workspace/WRLinux-Platform
dd if=recovery-boot.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
NOTE:
Replace the placeholder
/dev/sdX
with the specific device file assigned to your USB flash drive
when it was inserted. The X in sdX can be found using dmesg or the df command.
If the USB drive mounted automatically when you inserted it (that is, if an icon appeared on the desktop or
a file manager window opened), you must unmount the device before you proceed to copy the image to the
device.
4.
When the command prompt returns, and the activity light (if any) on your flash drive stops blinking,
remove the flash drive.
