Installation on Linux
Chapter 3: Installation on Linux
This chapter contains instruction on the installation of the baseboard software for Linux operating systems.
Software installation on Linux is performed by loading a number of packages. A Package is a special kind of archive file that
contains not only the files that are to be installed, but also installation scripts and dependency information to allow a smooth
fit into the system. This information allows the package to be removed, or patched. Innovative uses RPM packages in its
installs.
Package File Names
A package file name such as Malibu-LinuxPeriphLib-1.1-3.i586.rpm encodes a lot of information.
Package Name Package ID Information Fields
Distribution Subpackage Version Revision Hardware Type Extension
Malibu-Linux PeriphLib 1.1 3 i586 .rpm
Prerequisites for Installation
In order to properly use the baseboard example programs and to develop software using the baseboard, some packages need
to be installed before the actual baseboard package.
The Redistribution Package Group - MalibuRed
This set of packages contain the libraries and drivers needed to run a program using Malibu. This group is called
“MalibuRed” because it contains the packages needed to allow running Malibu based programs on a target, non-development
machine. (Red is short for 'redistributable').
