100 Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux
Setting Up a Directory Structure for Deployment
To perform a DTK-enabled deployment, you must create a deployment
directory structure on either a network share or your local workstation hard
drive. The deployment directory structure is a central repository for all
deployment files and can be used successively as a testing space, a repository
for a network deployment, and a repository to build a bootable deployment
CD. If you plan to perform a network-based deployment, you must set up the
directory structure on a network volume that is accessible from your
workstation, the source system (to generate configuration information), and
the target system (to deploy).
upimg Contains system-specific
Dell utility partition files.
NOTE: In the previous
releases, each Dell system
required a unique upimg file.
Beginning this release, the
upimg file is common for all
Dell systems.
