Nucleus Linux Evaluation
Release: 81-21018-1

Files included
 NucleusLinuxImage     - A hard disk image of the Axis 945 Linux evaluation 
                         system
 README                - This file

How to run the image
 The image file can run in an N500 or N1000 from the following devices:
  - SATA hard disk
  - PATA hard disk
  - CompactFlash card in the CF slot
  - CompactFlash card/hard disk/flash drive connected by USB

 To write the HD image to a disk, a computer running a Linux distribution
 supporting the desired disk type is required. Connect one of the above storage
 device types to the development machine, any data on the target storage device
 will be lost.

 It is important at this point to identify which device file represents the target
 storage device and be sure of it, to avoid wiping out the wrong disk on the
 workstation. The easiest way to do this is probably to connect the drive via
 USB and check the device node assigned using dmesg.

 Once the device node is identified, use dd to write the image to disk:
 For a SATA or USB connected drive:
  
  $ dd if=./NucleusLinuxImage of=/dev/sdX

 For a PATA connected drive:

  $ dd if=./NucleusLinuxImage of=/dev/hdX

 When the dd command has finished, a FAT16 partition will have been written to
 the disk, the contents of which are a kernel and a compressed filesystem image
 for the Nucleus Linux system.
 
 Take the disk and connect it to the Nucleus. Ensure the BIOS is set to boot from
 the newly imaged disk before any other connected devices.
 

Notes on use
 The root filesystem is loaded by the kernel as an initramfs into RAM. Any changes
 when running will not affect the file on the disk, therefore the system is "live"
 and any changes will be lost on the next boot.
 
 The graphics drivers used are the open source Intel Xorg drivers included in the
 packages of most distributions.
 If using only one monitor, connect it to the left VGA port looking into the
 connectors. If using two monitors double click the "Enable dual video" desktop
 icon, which runs xrandr to switch from cloned to extended desktop. The xorg.conf
 file has a commented line in the second monitor section:
 
 #	Option       "RightOf" "Monitor0"
 
 Customers should uncomment this line in their own system if they want dual video
 by default. Note that a third monitor section has been associated with the LVDS
 connection in order to disable it with the "ignore" option.
