Note on setting up the TS-Linux ver 3.04 for the embeddedx86 CPU.
Last Revisition: 2004/07

1. Attached serial port to com1 on linux PC. 

   Configure minicom on linux host:
      Serial setting: /dev/ttys0
                      9600 8N1
   This connects you to the embbeddedPC's console.

2. boot included linux CF and configure it as tx1 128.171.110.152

   a. get IP /hosts setup
      /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0
      /etc/sysconfig/network_cfg
      /etc/hosts
      /etc/resolv.conf

   b. account

   c. 


3. configure a linux compact flash boot disk from scratch 

   a. Download compact flash files.
      
      Site: http://www.embeddedx86.com/support/linux/TSlinux3.php

      Also located locally:
      /home/tcs3/public_html/systems/tcs3/vendor_info/Technologic_systems/embeddex86/0312_downloads/

      1) Blank compact flash image
         TS-base-64.cf
         
      2) Base file system.
         OS-3.04.tar.gz
         
      3) Precompiled Kernel and modules.
         kernel.TS-5500.030515.tar.bz2

   b. Download blank compact flash image to the compact flash card.
      dd if=TS-base-64.cf of=/dev/sda
      
   c. Mount compact flash second partition.
      mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/cf2

   d. Put OS on second partition.
      tar -C /mnt/cf2 -xvzf OS-3.04.tar.gz

   e. Put Kernel onto compact flash.

      1) Extract kernel files.
         tar -xvjf kernel.TS-5500.030515.tar.bz2

      2) Mount first partition.
         mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cf1

      3) Copy bzImage to the first partition. File must be named "bzImage".
         cp bzImage.5500 /mnt/cf1/bzImage
   
      4) Extract extras file over to second partition.
         tar -C /mnt/cf2 -xvvzf extras.5500.tar.gz

      5) Cleanup: unmount compact flash partitions.
         umount /dev/sda1
         umount /dev/sda2


4. setup for TCS3 development

   a. Change root password.
      passwd

   b. add tcs3 account.

      1) Edit passwd file.

      2) Change tcs3 password.
         passwd tcs3

      3) Add home directory
         mkdir tcs3 in /home
         chown tcs3 tcs3

   c. mount duke
      
      1) Change fstab.

         Add this line:
            duke:/aux2       /duke   nfs     soft,nolock 0 0

            Note: the nolock parameter seems to be necessary

      2) Edit /etc/hosts
         Add line:
            128.171.165.3   duke

      3) Create mounting point
         mkdir /duke

      4) mount duke

   d. Disable httpd.
      mv /etc/init.d/Apache.script /etc/init.d/Apache.script.removed

   e. Remove guest account from passwd.

   f. Setup proftpd

      1) Edit proftpd.conf

      From:
         <Limit LOGIN>
            DenyAll
         </Limit>

      To:
         <Limit LOGIN>
            AllowAll
         </Limit>

   g. ntp
   
      ntpclient home page: http://doolittle.faludi.com/ntpclient/
      Located locally in: /home/tcs3/src/tcs3/embeddedx86/ntp
      Copied ntpclient to /usr/local/sbin
      Created /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to run at boot time.

   h. portmap

      For rpc need to run portmap (only run as port of nfs server).
      Put '/sbin/portmap' in rc.local

   i. Make Disk Read-Only

      To make the disk read-only follow these few steps, also you can refer to
      pg. 10 in the Technologic Systems manaul.

      1. Remove etc/mtab, and make a symbolic link to /proc/mounts
         rm etc/mtab
         ln -s /proc/mounts etc/mtab

      2. Edit etc/rc.d/rcS.sysint file to remount/ (root) partition read-write
         Change:
            mount -n -o remount, rw /
         And uncomment to:
            #mount -n -o remount, rw /

      3. Add these ramdisk partitions to etc/fstab
         tmp_log /var/log tmpfs size=512K 0 0
         tmp_var /var/run tmpfs size=100K 0 0
