Preparing the Directory Structure
for Deployment in Embedded Linux
This chapter 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 an ISO image at support.dell.com. You can
use a CD/DVD burning software to burn the ISO image on a bootable
CD/DVD 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 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/DVD.
