4.11 Wind River Bench top Procedure
This procedure will pair the Kontron M2M system with the Wind River Workbench running on the PC workstation
Configure the “bench top” setup shown in the drawing in this in section 3.3. Ensure that there is an active connection
to the internet and that a DHCP server has provided local network addressing. The GUI Demo hardware is optional.
1. If desired, the LiveUSB drive can be inserted into either a Windows or Linux PC as a non-boot device so that
the
“Getting Started Guide” and other documentation can be reviewed before booting via the LiveUSB drive.
The LiveUSB boot will not modify the current PC/workstation hard disk in any way (unless desired
– see
#5).
2. Before booting your host computer, ensure that the LiveUSB flash drive is correctly plugged into a USB port
on the host computer. Switch on your host computer. You may have to interrupt the boot process in order to
instruct the BIOS to boot from the LiveUSB flash drive instead of the internal hard drive. The host computer
boots into a preconfigured Fedora environment.
The LiveUSB has been tested with many different host computers. Although it will work with the majority of
these, some computers contain hardware that is incompatible with the LiveUSB. If your host computer has a
graphics controller that is not compatible with the default boot settings of the LiveUSB, you will see distorted
graphics or possibly no graphics at all. For this case, an alternate boot option is available. Press any key to
interrupt the default boot process. Use the down arrow key to select the ‗Alternate Boot option and press
the ―Enter key. In many cases this alternate boot option will resolve issues with incompatible graphics
drivers. If you continue to experience problems, you may wish to try a different host computer.
3. During the boot process, several software license screens will appear. These must be responded to and
filled out in order for the 90-day trial period to become active.
4. After some evaluation, the LiveUSB boot image can be moved to hard disk for better performance. There is
a menu selection on the Linux desktop under the ‘Applications→Wind River→’ dropdown menu to do this.
