Getting Started

Arcom Embedded Linux development kits are designed to provide a complete environment

allowing software engineers to concentrate on the development of their application. The

development kits are available with or without an LCD panel. This Manual describes how to set

up the kit so you can commence development straight away.

Arcom suggests Red Hat Linux 6.2 running on a PC, though other distributions/platforms

may be suitable.

•Networking details for the ELAN-104NC:

Consult your network of system administrator for these

•IP address and subnet mask (netmask)

•Default gateway IP address if required

•Nameserver (DNS) IP address (optional)

•Networking details for the host machine. It will be useful to have the following details

Unpacking & Connecting Up

Arcom’s Embedded Linux development kits are shipped ‘ready to run’. All you need to do is

remove the various components from the packaging and connect them up.

Remember that a number of the components are static sensitive so standard anti-static

precautions should be taken while unpacking.

Refer to the diagram below and follow the numbered instructions to ensure that everything is

correctly connected.

Mouse

1. Remove the ELAN-104NC CPU board from the packaging and place it on a static free

work surface.

2. Plug the mouse into the socket labelled 'PL16 MSE'.

3. Plug a keyboard into the socket labelled 'PL4 KBD' using the PS/2 adapter if required.

4. Plug the Ethernet cable into the socket labelled ‘PL5 Network’ and plug the other end

into your development system. The cable supplied in the kit is a crossover cable,

designed to go directly between the ELAN-104NC and another PC. If you want to

connect to an existing network you will need a straight through cable instead. For

further details consult your IT administration department.

5. If your kit was not supplied with an LCD then plug a video monitor into the supplied

adapter cable and plug the adapter cable into the socket labelled 'PL11 CRT'. If you

intend to use a LCD panel, DO NOT plug in a monitor.

6. If your kit was supplied with an LCD, plug the interface cable between the ELAN-104NC

socket labelled ‘LCD Panel PL1’, and the flat panel interface board (FPIF) socket ‘PL1’.

CONTROL SYSTEMS

Issue B 2192-10962-000-000

page 6

Plug the backlight power cable between the FPIF board PL3 and the backlight inverter

board. Plug the LCD panel cables into the backlight inverter board. Plug the interface

cable between the LCD and the FPIF board socket ‘PL2’. Make sure that the power is

off while connecting the LCD as the backlight inverter generates high voltages.

7. Fit the ELAN_104NC power supply cable to the socket labelled ‘PL17 POWER’.

8. Fit the appropriate wall socket adapter to the power supply unit.

9. Switch on and the ELAN-104NC will boot the installed copy of Arcom Embedded

Linux.

10. Login as root (login name: root, password: arcom) to access the entire system; or as

the regular user arcom (login name: arcom, password: arcom) for restricted access.

Note: The default BIOS for the ELAN-104NC sets the output to CRT only mode if a CRT

monitor is detected when the board is switched on. Therefore, to use a flat panel, make sure

that a CRT monitor is NOT connected. Also the backlight inverter generates high voltages, so

make sure the power is off while connecting it.

Flat Panels

The default BIOS can be used to drive a 6.5" NEC TFT flat panel

(Part number NL6448AC20-06 or NL6448BC20-08), as supplied in the Flat Panel variant of the

kit, or a 10.4” NEC TFT flat panel (Part Number NL6448AC33-18/-27/-29).

To use the supplied 6.5” flat panel, connect the flat panel as described in the previous

instructions.

For further details of other flat panels supported by the ELAN-104NC, contact Arcom Control

Systems Technical Support Department.

What’s in Arcom Embedded Linux

Arcom Embedded Linux is basically a space optimised standard Linux including many of the

standard file, shell and text utilities. In addition there are

•Telnet server and client

•FTP server and client

•HTTP server

For a complete list of software consult the Technical Manual supplied on the CD.

The File system

The onboard flash has been divided into three partitions (boot, root (/) and /var). By default the

root partition is mounted read-only for added data security, to mount it read-write type

mount –n –o remount,rw /

The /var partition is read-write and can be used for storing application data which must persist

across reboots. The /var partition also contains users’ home directories. In addition a 2 Mbyte

ram disk is mounted on /var/tmp for temporary files -- these will be lost after a reboot.

Setting up Networking

1. Login to the ELAN-104NC as root user,

password: arcom

2. Mount the root (/) partition as read-write by typing

mount –n –o remount,rw /

These steps only need to be carried out once.

3. Change to the directory /etc/config/network/interfaces by typing

cd /etc/config/network/interfaces

4. Copy the file lo to the file eth0

cp lo eth0

5. Edit the file eth0 using the ae editor.

ae eth0

The file should look like (with appropriate IP address and netmask)-

DEVICE=eth0

IPADDR=IP address

NETMASK=netmask

6. Save the file by typing CRTL+X then CTRL+W

7. Exit the ae editor by typing CTRL+Q

8. Setup DNS if required, by editing the file /etc/resolv.conf

cd /etc

ae resolv.conf

The file should look like this-

nameserver IP address of nameserver

9. Setup a default gateway if required, by editing the file /etc/config/network/routes/gateway

cd /etc/config/network/routes

ae gateway

The file should look like this-

GATEWAY=IP address of gateway

10. Reinitialise networking by typing

/etc/init.d/network start

Installing the Support Software

The Arcom Embedded Linux kit is supplied with a CD, which contains a number of support

programs and examples. The CD is bootable and can be used to reinstall the base system

plus any of the optional components. Consult the technical manual for details. In addition the

CD includes example source code for utilising the Arcom specific device drivers, and utility

programs.

Installing an IDE( Source-Navigator)

Also included is the source code for an IDE (Source-Navigator) that you may wish to use to

build and test application on your Red Hat 6.2 host system before downloading to the Elan-

104NC board.

To install the IDE (Source-Navigator) on your host system follow these instructions -

1. Copy the source tarball from the CD (/utils/ide/SN451.tar.gz) to a suitable directory (e.g.

your home directory) on your host system.

2. If you’re using X (KDE, GNOME etc.) start a terminal emulator such as xterm, Konsole (in

KDE) or GNOME terminal (in GNOME).

3. Change to the directory containing the source tarball

cd directory containing source tarball

4. Unpack the tarball

tar xzf SN451.tar.gz

cd SN451

5. Configure and build the application

./configure

make

6. Change to the root user (Enter the root password when prompted)

7. Install the application

make install

8. Change back to a regular user

exit
