Deployment Prerequisites For Embedded Linux

For Linux, ensure that you have all of the following tools, software, and information ready to use or

consult:

• Advanced knowledge of Linux and Linux scripting (bash), Linux networking, installing and working

with RPM Package Managers (RPMs), and creating and modifying loop file systems.

• Any third party deployment system or tool, such as Yum.

• A workstation with the following capabilities:

– A writable media drive

– Network access

• A target system with a media drive, if performing a local deployment.

• A target system with a media drive and network access, if performing a network deployment.

• All DTK utilities, sample scripts, sample configuration files, and RPM packages.

• All operating system RPM packages that DTK RPMs require.

NOTE: Tools such as Yellowdog Updater Modified (YUM), Yet Another Setup Tool (YAST), and

Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) can be used to manage RPM dependency issues.

• All other utilities and files necessary to perform the deployment, including all required Linux drivers,

operating system drivers, and the Dell utility partition file.

• Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.

• Your operating system software and documentation.

• An optimally configured source system with network access.

NOTE: You can download the latest drivers from support.dell.com.

Preparing Embedded Linux Environment for Deployment

If you are using the embedded Linux environment:

1. Obtain the DTK Linux ISO image, which is a self-contained bootable ISO image.

2. Use and customize the sample scripts as per your requirements.
