Recap

Over the past week the system was connected and Linux was able to be booted off the embedded board. The console via the serial port was accessed via HyperTerminal on the desktop. The network configuration was also setup with Apache and the board was working as a web server. After navigating to the /www/apache/htdocs/ folder, the index.html file was altered with meta tags that would re-direct any client to the Scimatic Software Homepage.

Expectations

Currently the only file changes are of the form of edits to the index page using the vi text editor on the serial console. It would be beneficial to learn other means to make such changes. This week's the goal is to be able to log onto the server and perform file transfers. The board is equipped with a compact flash port which is going to be used to for the following:

1. Copy a file from PC to the Compact Flash Card via card reader.
2. Copy that file from the CF Card to strata flash via the Linux console.
3. Use FTP to download that file back to the PC via the network.
