uClinux Installation
Installing the dimmPCI
TM
System
Builder Kit
Before beginning
This development kit requires an x86 compatible PC running some variant of linux. It will not
work under any version of Windows. If linux is not installed on your computer, Redhat linux can
be downloaded from http://www.redhat.com In addition root access is necessary for this entire
process due to the fact that regular users do not have adequate permissions.
Installation
Put the install CD in the CD-ROM drive, depending on the linux configuration the CD will likely
be available in either of the following directories.
/mnt/cdrom
/cdrom
If it is not automatically mounted to the file system, try this
mkdir /cdrom
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Approximately 60M free in your ‘/opt’ directory is needed for this next step. When the CD has
been mounted, go to the ‘/cdrom’ directory and type
make install
The Makefile will automatically install all the packages into the ‘/opt/’ directory. Should you at
any point wish to remove the dimmPCI SDK software from your computer, you mount the CD-
ROM as previously described and run
make clean
