About This Directory
--------------------

Follow this procedure to build a kernel which will boot RTLinuxPro on
Diamond Systems CPU boards.  The procedure is different depending on
what version of RTLinuxPro is installed.


For RTLinuxPro 2.1 Users
------------------------

This directory contains a kernel config file which you can use to compile
a new Linux kernel that will support RTLinux 2.1 on Diamond Systems CPU
boards.

The RTLinuxPro development kit includes kernel source which you can use to
compile a new kernel which supports your hardware.  The config file in this
directory can be used by following this process:

1) cd /opt/rtldk-2.1/rtlinux_kernel_2_4/
2) cp /usr/local/dscud5/kernel/config-2.4.25-rtl .config
3) make oldconfig
3) make dep clean bzImage
4) cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-rtl-custom

Then you can edit your LILO or Grub boot configuration to add your new
kernel as a secondary boot option.  Be sure to test your new kernel very
carefully before replacing your default kernel.


For RTLinuxPro 2.2 Users
------------------------

Diamond Systems CPUs are supported directly by FSMLabs builds starting 
with version 2.2.  Follow the procedure below for this version.

1) cd /opt/rtldk-2.2/rtlinux_kernel_2_4/
2) make hercules_config   (or make athena_config)
3) make oldconfig
3) make dep clean bzImage
4) cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-rtl-custom

Then you can edit your LILO or Grub boot configuration to add your new
kernel as a secondary boot option.  Be sure to test your new kernel very
carefully before replacing your default kernel.
