4 Porting Linux to the Target Board

4.1 Porting Linux to the Target Board
Now in this chapter we will learn how to write vivi (bootloader), zImage (kernel image), and
root_qtopia.cramfs to SMC(Smart Media Card) by using 'imagewrite' utility. This method can be used
after booting target board. So it is used for writing images to new SMC.
Transfer the images and the needed utilities to target board because all works are progressed in target
board. Transfer all the images from /image directory to target board by using ztelnet.

4.2 Minicom

We have to transfer the images using ztelnet, before that we should know how to use Minicom. In this
section we explain how to use Minicom. Ztelnet is explained later in this chapter.
Desktop Linux has Minicom program for serial communication. It is used for command prompt of vivi or
shell prompt of embedded Linux.
Set up the values before using Minicom program.
[root@localhost root]# minicom -s : Execute Minicom on setting mode.

Please select 'Serial port setup' Push 'A' key for setting 'Serial Device', then write serial port which
is connected to target board. (If you are using COM1, write /dev/ttyS0, if COM2, write /dev/ttyS1.)
