Preinstallation
---------------

System requirements:
- OS: Any fairly new Linux distribution should work - it's tested with
  Redhat and Debian.
  Other Unix like operating system will probably work as well to build,
  but for debugging, a Linux distribution is the best.
- You must be able to be root during some stages of the installation.
- Ethernet network interface.
- A decent C compiler.

If you already have the cris compiler tools 
(ftp://ftp.axis.com/pub/axis/tools/cris/compiler-kit/cris-dist-1.7.tar.gz)
download the file devboard-R1_0_2.tgz, otherwise
devboard-R1_0_2-with_compiler.tgz from the directory
http://developer.axis.com/download/devboard/latest.



Installation
------------

Unzip and extract the downloaded file typing "tar -zxvf <filename>".
Follow the instructions in axis/README.


Postinstallation
----------------

Whenever you are working with this distribution you must make sure you have
sourced the init_env file in the directory where you untarred the tgz-files.
If you use the Bourne Again Shell (bash) you can add the following to your
~/.bashrc file (it will work for many other shells too):

# Set INITENV to the absolute file name of your init_env file.
INITENV=$HOME/axis/products/tech/devboard/init_env

if test -f $INITENV ; then
	source $INITENV
fi

Connect the debug port (COM2/ser2) on the developer board to a serial port on
your computer using an ordinary null modem cable with RX/TX and RTS/CTS.
Use a terminal program to listen to the serial port on your computer. The
easiest way is to run "sermon" (resides in the tools directory). You can
however use any terminal program set to 115200 baud, no parity, eight 
databits and one stopbit.

To update everything on the devboard except the bootblock (that contains the
serial number) keep the boot button pressed while resetting (i.e. press and
release the reset button _or_ remove and reinsert the power cord) the
developer board and type "boot_elinux -f" (also use -d if you are not using
network interface eth0, type "boot_elinux -h" for a list of possible
arguments). Output should now appear on the debug port.
