1.2 Overview
This evaluation leads you through the steps to use Wind River Workbench, configure a Linux kernel and file system,
work with patches, and outline how Wind River tools can aid in the debugging and analysis of embedded systems
based on the Kontron M2M System.
During this evaluation you will work with two separate systems:
A host computer (workstation) on which you will perform tasks such as configuring the Linux OS that runs on the
target, analyzing test results and debugging code. You will also use the host computer to view Wind River
documentation and guide material. The preferred specification for the host computer is outlined below.
