Arcom Embedded Linux Technical Manual Introduction
If you want to develop on the target board, it may be possible to install a host operating
system (such as Red Hat Linux) with the addition of a hard disk drive. To do this, the
following conditions must be satisfied:
The target hardware must support the addition of a hard disk. For this information,
see the Technical and Quickstart Manuals for your board.
•
• A suitable Linux distribution must be available with support for the target board’s
processor architecture. It is not possible to develop applications under AEL directly.
Licensing AEL components
The AEL Development Kit contains components licensed by different sources. Many of
these are Open Source licenses (see www.opensource.org
). If you further distribute
these modules you may, under certain circumstances, be required to release source
code for any modifications you have made.
Please consult Appendix A - Contacting Arcom
, page 65, and the relevant source
packages to ensure you are familiar with the licensing requirements of any packages
that you modify. Copies of the more widespread licenses are included on the
Development Kit CD, in the folder /licenses.
Handling your board safely
Anti-static handling
This Development Kit contains CMOS devices. These could be damaged in the event of
static electricity being discharged through them. Observe anti-static precautions at all
times when handling circuit boards. This includes storing boards in appropriate anti-
static packaging and wearing a wrist strap when handling them.
Packaging
Should a board need to be returned to Arcom, please ensure that it is adequately
packed, preferably in the original packing material.
