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 DTK components
• Setting up a directory structure to facilitate a successful deployment,
including a list of the supporting components that are not included with
DTK, but are needed to use DTK
• Setting up an optimally configured source system
Upgrading Your DTK Version
When upgrading from a previous release of DTK 2.xx version, ensure that you
create the new DTK version 3.xx environment separately from your previous
version of DTK. This step is necessary because the environments and
requirements for DTK version 3.xx are completely different.
Installation for Embedded Linux
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 DTK components to a workstation
running a Linux operating system:
1
Download the ISO image dtk_3.X_XXX_Linux.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 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.
