Executing the package under Linux

Introduction

Expert can deploy the package to a "normal USB FlashDrive" (or hard disk or CD) or a service
USB FlashDrive from Siemens. Both versions result in a different system behavior which is
subsequently explained.
Package execution from "normal USB FlashDrive":
If the package was transferred to a "normal USB Flash Drive" (or hard disk or CD) which cannot
be booted because it does not contain a Linux boot system from Siemens, then the NCU starts
Linux from the CompactFlash card and then starts the package on the USB medium.
For this version, a Linux system that can be run (system software SW) must be available on
the CompactFlash card. The system software can be upgraded or reinstalled by the package.
Package execution from the service USB FlashDrive:
If the package was transferred to a service USB FlashDrive (from Siemens) which is bootable
because it contains a Linux boot system from Siemens, then the NCU starts Linux from this
USB FlashDrive and then starts the package on the USB FlashDrive.
For this version, a Linux system that can be run is not required on the CompactFlash card
(system software SW) – i.e. the CompactFlash card can also be empty.
Note
In this case, reinstallation of the system software is a precondition for package execution.
As soon as installation on the CompactFlash card has been completed, the package will restart
the NCU and force Linux to start from the compact flash card.
If "None" or "Upgrade" is selected in the "NCU system software" dialog box and there is a
system on the CF card, starting is performed from the CF card during execution of this dialog
box.
Package execution then continues the same as for a "normal USB FlashDrive".
