Getting Started

The purpose of the following pages is to help you get a Linux system up and running on ST40 hardware as easily as possible. The method described here is only one of many; but even if these instructions do not correspond with your actual requirements, we suggest that you try them as an exercise to gain familiarity with STLinux, and to get you started.

Note: These instructions assume that you are using target hardware which is already supported by STLinux.

The easiest way to monitor the behavior of the target Linux system and to develop and run applications is to run an interactive shell on the target. This allows commands to be run and the results observed. There are several ways to do this, depending on the connectivity to the target system. The Getting Started guide starts with a description of these monitoring tools.
