Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux 91
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 2.4 environment separately from your
previous version of DTK. This step is necessary because the environments
and requirements for DTK version 2.4 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 a 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 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.
