| − | === Installation by EtherLink ===
| |
| − | # Obtain a standard PC with Windows XP/2000. It will be referred to as 'host PC' in this document. | |
| − | # Connect a host PC serial port to the COM1 port on the ATX baseboard via a null modem cable, such as the one provided with the Eval Kit.
| |
| − | # Connect the module's Ethernet port (P10 on ATX baseboards) to the LAN (switch/hub) via a standard network cable, such as the one provided with the Eval Kit.
| |
| − | # Copy the contents of this Linux package’s ZIP file to the {{filename|C:\LIN_INST\}} folder on your PC. Unzip the {{filename|gentoo.img.gz}} file, to extract {filename|gentoo.img}}.
| |
| − | # Download and carefully read the {{filename|Etherlink.doc}} document available following [Developer] >> [CM-iGLX] >> [BIOS & Etherlink image]. Instal and setup a TFTPD32 server (provided with this package) on the host and an Etherlink TFTP client on the target as instructed. Set {{filename|c:\lin_inst\}} as the TFTP server base directory. For Windows tftpd32, choose '''Settings''' and browse for '''Base directory'''. Choose standard TFTP security.
| |
| − | # On the Host PC, open a Terminal Emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. Ensure that 'flow control' is set to NONE.
| |
| − | # Enter the BIOS setup on the CM-iGLX by pressing Ctrl-C on HyperTerminal and momentarily pressing the Reset button on the baseboard.
| |
| − | # Select “Basic CMOS Configuration”.
| |
| − | # In “DRIVE ASSIGNMENT ORDER”, select [Drive C:] as [Nand Flash]. Ensure that there are no external USB mass storage devices connected to the USB ports, as those may interfere with the on-board Flash Disk.
| |
| − | # Select “Write to CMOS and exit”.
| |
| − | # Again, enter the BIOS setup on the CM-iGLX by pressing Ctrl-C on HyperTerminal and momentarily pressing the Reset button on the baseboard.
| |
| − | # In the terminal window on the host, use [TAB] to select [Start EtherLink] from the main BIOS menu.
| |
| − | # Using the Etherlink menu, set the NAND image name to “gentoo.img”.
| |
| − | # Run “Download NAND image”. Do not interrupt the host PC and CM-iGLX until the process is complete!
| |
| − | # Wait for process completion, which takes several minutes. You can see the progress status by the state of the LED’s on the module:
| |
| − | #:Operation in progress – two LED’s are flashing
| |
| − | #:Operation completed successfully – one LED is on and other is off
| |
| − | # Return to the main menu by pressing any key. Press 0 to save the EtherLink configuration for future operations.
| |
| − | # Reboot and enjoy Linux on the CM-iGLX.

| |
| − | | |
| − | === Connection and Logging In ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Use the following username and password to login:
| |
| − | Account with administrative privileges:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | User: root
| |
| − | Password: 111111
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | To login into the Linux system, you may use a serial console at 38400 bps (ttyS0, ttyS1), connect through the network (ssh protocol) or use a keyboard and VGA display.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === IP Address ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The IP addresses for both network interfaces are obtained automatically using DHCP.
| |
| − | To configure networking, edit {{filename|/etc/conf.d/net}}, {{filename|/etc/resolv.conf}} and {{filename|/etc/conf.d/hostname}}. For more information about Gentoo Linux network configuration, read: [http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4 Gentoo Network Configuration] guide.
| |
| − | Default settings assume that Ethernet controller of CM-iGLX is "eth1" and Ethernet controller of ATX is "eth0".
| |
| − | | |
| − | === BIOS ===
| |
| − | Don’t forget to update BIOS time to avoid warning messages on booting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Samba ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Samba – server and client for a Microsoft Windows compatible network.
| |
| − | Use commands: {{cmd|smbmount}}, {{cmd|smbumount}}. In order to configure a Samba server, edit the configuration file {{filename|/etc/samba/smb.conf}} or use SWAT tool. More information about the Samba configuration can be obtained from Samba documentation.

| − | === Frequently Used Kernel Command Line Parameters ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following describes several Linux kernel command line parameters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Root Device and Root File System ====
| |
| − | To specify the device containing the root file system:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | root=<block device>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example block devices:
| |
| − | {| border="2" width="30%" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="3" rules="all" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA; border-collapse:collapse;empty-cells:show; text-align:left"
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ! Device type
| |
| − | ! Linux block device name
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | NAND flash
| |
| − | | /dev/sda2
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | IDE Compact flash
| |
| − | | /dev/hda1
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | Ramdisk
| |
| − | | /dev/ram0
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | To specify a root file system type, for example ext3:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | rootfstype=ext3
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | To allow Linux kernel to detect USB device containing root file system specify rootdelay:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | rootdelay=10
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Serial Consoles ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | To enable a console on the serial port:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | console=<tty>,<baud rate>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following is COM-tty mapping for different Linux versions:
| |
| − | {| border="2" width="20%" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="3" rules="all" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA; border-collapse:collapse;empty-cells:show; text-align:left"
| |
| − | ! Device
| |
| − | ! Linux tty
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | COM 1 (UART)
| |
| − | | ttyS0
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | COM 2 (UART)
| |
| − | | ttyS1
| |
