Updating Applications on your dimmPCI module
There are two methods for updating applications on the dimmPCI module: (1) create a new image file with the updated application, or (2) copy the updated application to the flash filesystem. Of course the latter option will be preferable in most situations since it is faster and easier.
Method 1:
The first step is to copy the new application file(s) to the somewhere in the ‘romdisk’ directory on the development computer. Next follow the procedure to create a system image file, and then program it to the target dimmPCI module using one of the previously described methods.
Method 2:
Note: this method assumes the board has been connected to an IP network and the flash filesystem is in use previous to this procedure.
Create an NFS share on the development computer that contains the updated application file(s). Power up the target dimmPCITM module and log on to it using either the serial or telnet interface. Mount the share on the dimmPCI module and simply copy the file(s) from the NFS share to the flash filesystem.
