Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across
different processor families. See http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.

The Intel® I/O processor may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications.
Current characterized errata are available on request.

Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an Intel
HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use.
See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology.

Introduction—Linux - Debian

Introduction 1

The following instructions were validated usi ng an IA host system running Fedora Core 3. The
target is an IQ80331 booted in a Cyclone Micros yst em s* PCI Backplane. These instructions are
also useful to thos e using a differen t se tup, however there may be slight changes to accommodate
different hosts or targets . Upda tes will be made to these instructions as changes are reporte d.

Linux - Debian—Host Setup

Host Setup 2

After the base install of the Linux distribution, ensure that th e following packages are installed.
minicom: This is a terminal emulation package for viewing the seri al port consol e

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

install ed as well as various utili ties needed by the build of the cross tool

chain. During the Fedora installation, the option is given to install the

Development too ls packages . When chosen, addi ng these packa ges after

the base installation, may require expe rim enting with the builds to

ensure th at all the dep e nd e n ci es ar e installed .
NFS server: The target system may have its root file system mounted over NFS. This

is not necessary w h en th e ta rg et use s a Flash disk or a lo cally at ta ch ed

hard drive.
Remote login cli ent: This can be either a telnet o r SSH client, depending on plans for remote

connectivi ty. (SSH is encrypted and much more secure than telnet;

however, the SSH daemon is a bigger package.) This may not be

necessary when ser i al con sole acce s s is s u fficient for r eq u ired needs .
TFTP Server: RedBoot uses TFTP to load the kernel from the host system. This is not

necessary when u sing XMod em for kerne l do wnloads . Note: It is highly

recomm e nd e d to in st al l and use the TF T P ser v er. A kern e l image tak es

many times longer to load over serial th an over ethernet.
DHCPD Server: This provides BOOTP information for the tar g et. This is not necessary

when assigning sta tic IP addresses.
