Thuy has setup the BIOS of the Dell Linux Servers and other servers used for linuxRT development, to re-direct the
console (monitor) output to one of the serial ports. This allows us to watch the boot process remotely via our standard 'iocConsole'
python script. iocConsole uses the 'screen' process to accomplish this re-direction.
Type the following command from any LCLSDEV host:
Example:
iocConsole ioc-b34-bd32
This will establish a serial connection with the linux box from lcls-dev1 via a DIGI Terminal Server port as follows:
: ssh -x -t -l laci lcls-dev1 bash -l -c " pyiocscreen.py -t HIOC ioc-b34-bd32 ts-lclsdev05 2001 "
You can monitor the linuxRT as it goes through the PXE network booting process.
Finally, you will get the login prompt:
Welcome to Buildroot
ioc-b34-bd32 login:
Login as 'root'. No password is required.
10. What are kernel modules and how are they loaded in linuxRT?
