Building a CEPC OS Image for Use with an Ethernet Card

  • Article

Before building an OS image to use with an Ethernet card, open an existing platform that includes the CEPC board support package (BSP). To build a CEPC OS image for use with an Ethernet card, verify that your platform includes the correct Ethernet card support, optionally add support for a network card, and then build your platform.

If you have not previously created a platform, you can use the New Platform Wizard to create a platform and select the CEPC board support package (BSP). For information about creating a platform, see Creating a Platform.

To verify that your platform includes support for the type of Ethernet card that you installed on your CEPC

  1. In the Workspace window, choose the FeatureView tab.

  2. Expand the <Platform name> features node, and then navigate to CEPC: x86\Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices.

  3. Verify that the Local Area Networking (LAN) devices node includes a branch that corresponds to the type of network card installed in your CEPC.

    For example, if you are using an ISA network card, verify that under the Local Area Networking (LAN) devices node there is an NE2000-compatible (ISA card) branch.

If the Local Area Networking (LAN) devices node does not include a branch for your Ethernet card, then add support for your Ethernet card to the workspace. The following procedure shows how to add support for an Ethernet card.

To add support for an Ethernet card

  1. In the Catalog window, expand the Catalog node.

  2. Navigate to Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices.

  3. If you installed an NE2000-compatible PCI card on your CEPC, right-click on NE2000-compatible, and then choose Add to Platform.

    - or -

    If you installed an NE2000-compatible ISA card on your CEPC, right-click on NE2000-compatible (ISA card), and then choose Add to Platform.

    - or -

    Right-click on the entry that matches the description of the network card installed on your CEPC, and then choose Add to Platform.

To build your CEPC OS image that contains Ethernet card support

  • From the Build menu, choose Build Platform.
