Builder Kit

Before beginning

This development kit requires an x86 compatible PC running some variant of linux. It will not work under any version of Windows. If linux is not installed on your computer, Redhat linux can be downloaded from http://www.redhat.com In addition root access is necessary for this entire process due to the fact that regular users do not have adequate permissions.

Installation

Put the install CD in the CD-ROM drive, depending on the linux configuration the CD will likely be available in either of the following directories.

/mnt/cdrom

/cdrom

If it is not automatically mounted to the file system, try this

mkdir /cdrom

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom

Approximately 60M free in your ‘/opt’ directory is needed for this next step. When the CD has been mounted, go to the ‘/cdrom’ directory and type

make install

The Makefile will automatically install all the packages into the ‘/opt/’ directory. Should you at any point wish to remove the dimmPCI SDK software from your computer, you mount the CD- ROM as previously described and run

make clean
