Installation and Getting Started

The STLinux distribution and development tools are distributed as RPM files and must be installed on a host PC running a Linux distribution. There are many Linux distributions freely available on the Internet. Although the STLinux RPM packages can be installed on any Linux distribution, only the following 32 bit Linux Distributions are supported:

• RedHat Enterprise version 4 and above
• Fedora 6 and above

Note: On the host PC running Linux, make sure that no firewalls are running and that SELinux is disabled.

This section covers:

• the installation of the STLinux Distribution itself
• the steps needed to boot STLinux on an ST target

When these steps have been completed, you will have a fully functioning STLinux system.
