Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux 57
Preparing the Directory Structure for
Deployment in Embedded Linux
This section describes some of the procedures necessary to begin the deployment process, including:
• Downloading and unzipping the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) components, including a
comprehensive matrix of the DTK components
• Setting up a directory structure to facilitate a successful deployment, including a list of the
supporting components that are not included with the DTK, but are needed to use the DTK
• Setting up an optimally configured source system
Upgrading Your DTK Version
When upgrading from a previous release of the DTK 1.xx version, ensure that you create the new
DTK version 2.3 environment separately from your previous version of DTK. This step is necessary
because the environments and requirements for DTK version 2.3 are completely different.
Installation for Embedded Linux
The DTK components are provided in an ISO image on the Dell™ Support website at
support.dell.com. You can use CD-burning software to burn the ISO image on a bootable CD or
loop mount the ISO image to access the image contents.
Perform the following steps to extract the DTK components to a workstation running a Linux
operating system:
1
Download the ISO image dtk-2. X - xxxx .iso from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com and
save it anywhere on your system (where
X is the latest version of DTK and xxxx is the latest build
for the DTK release).
2 After the image downloads, burn it on a CD.
The directory structure on the CD (after it is mounted) is shown in Figure 7-1.
