Overview

  • The Linux package for CM-iGT includes a ready-to-run image that can be installed on SSD disk, or USB storage device connected to the SB-iGT carrier board
  • Download the Linux Package for CM-iGT to the host PC and ensure the integrity of the file:
$ md5sum cm-igt_linux_2015-10-29.zip
978712f5d170e9f01584f7f6d5270b8f  cm-igt_linux_2015-10-29.zip
  • Unzip the downloaded archive.

Installation

  • Prepare either an SSD disk, or USB storage device. It must have at least 8GB capacity
  • Connect the storage device to the host PC
  • Run this command to figure out what device name was assigned to your storage device:
$ ls -all /dev/disk/by-id/
  • Assuming your storage device was detected as /dev/sdx write the image onto it:
$ gzip -dc /path/to/cm-igt-linux/images/cm-igt.mint17.8GB.dd.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdx bs=1MB
  • Connect the storage device to the SB-iGT carrier board

Welcome to Linux Mint 17 LTS

  • Power on the CM-iGT evaluation system.
  • On first boot choose your language, timezone, username, password etc.

Installation onto the on-board iSSD (optional)

  • In the same manner, the same image can be installed onto the internal on-board iSSD storage
  • After first boot make the Linux package files accessible from the CM-iGT, for example the NFS drive can be mounted or a disk-on-key with the files attached
  • Assuming the on-board iSSD storage was detected as /dev/sdx write the image on it:
$ gzip -dc /path/to/cm-igt-linux/images/cm-igt.mint17.8GB.dd.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdx bs=1MB
  • Detach external storage
  • Enable the on-board iSSD in BIOS Settings -> Boot -> Boot Priority Order
  • Next time the boot will be performed from the on-board iSSD
