Intel I/O Processor manual Host Setup

Linux - Debian—Host Setup

Host Setup 2

After the base install of the Linux distribution, ensure that the following packages are installed.

minicom:	This is a terminal emulation package for viewing the serial port console
	output of the Linux target system.
lrzsz:	X, Y, and Z modem support.

Native Development Tools:For building the cross tool chain, a native version of GCC must be installed as well as various utilities needed by the build of the cross tool chain. During the Fedora installation, the option is given to install the Development tools packages. When chosen, adding these packages after the base installation, may require experimenting with the builds to ensure that all the dependencies are installed.

NFS server:	The target system may have its root file system mounted over NFS. This
	is not necessary when the target uses a Flash disk or a locally attached
	hard drive.
Remote login client:	This can be either a telnet or SSH client, depending on plans for remote
	connectivity. (SSH is encrypted and much more secure than telnet;
	however, the SSH daemon is a bigger package.) This may not be
	necessary when serial console access is sufficient for required needs.
TFTP Server:	RedBoot uses TFTP to load the kernel from the host system. This is not
	necessary when using XModem for kernel downloads. Note: It is highly
	recommended to install and use the TFTP server. A kernel image takes
	many times longer to load over serial than over ethernet.
DHCPD Server:	This provides BOOTP information for the target. This is not necessary
	when assigning static IP addresses.
