After the cross compiler installation the developmentinfrastructure from Axis needs to be installed. Download at AXIS Software Distribution the install package and the distribution files. Unpack both achives in one directory.

Follow the installation instructions.

tar -xvfz devboard-R2_01.tar.gz tar -xvfz devboard-R2_01-distfiles.tar.gz cd devboard-R2_01 ln -s ../distfiles

Run install: type ./install

Do you want to copy distfiles now ? n because thy are downloaded allready (see ln)

Run ./configure in devboard-R2_01.

It is mandatory to know the root password to run etrax100boot!!!!!!!!!!

Run make.

No idea why they are using pmake. It is not included in any modern Linux I know... At ACME systems one find another howto install the SDK. Download the pmake version fom there. Or here:

• pmake-1.45-16.i386.rpm: pmake

boot_linux -i kimage -d eth1

note -d (device) is needed if there are two Ethernet interfaces on the Computer used for development. eth0 is the default for boot_linux.

note boot_linux needs root privileges becouse of:

Feb 21 15:37:27 lxdv18 kernel: device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
Feb 21 15:37:35 lxdv18 kernel: device eth1 left promiscuous mode
