What else do I need?

An x86 Linux system compliant with version 1.3 of the Linux Standard Base

required for the AEL Embedded Linux host environment. Suitable systems include PCs

with Debian GNU/Linux, RedHat Linux, Fedora Core, or SUSE Linux.

The Linux system requires a spare RS232 serial port (capable of 115200 bit/s) with a

male DB-9 connector and suitable terminal emulation software, such as minicom.

It is also useful if you can obtain the following information:

• Networking details for the ZEUS. If your network does not have a DHCP server,

ask your network or system administrator for the following:

- IP address and subnet mask (netmask).

- Default gateway IP address (if required).

- Name server (DNS) IP address (optional).

• Networking details for the host machine.

• Alternatively, for standalone systems, the board can be connected directly to your

host machine’s Ethernet interface using the crossover adapter provided in the

Development Kit. Please refer to the section

Setting up networking, page 20.
