In order to install the distribution that comes with the Diax HBS1's follow these guidlines.

Log in as root.

$ # ensure that your envronment is up to date
$ yum install gcc binutils gzip make diffutils bison flex libncurses-devel zlib
$ # to eliminate some constraints built in the built system make a symbolic link for sed in /usr/bin
$ ln -s /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed
$ # make a directory to work in, e.g. /home/eml1
$ mkdir -p /home/eml1/Diax-CD
$ cd /home/eml1/Diax-CD
$ # copy the distribution CD from bren
$ scp <your login>@bren.hih.au.dk:/home/eml/ .

A directory named Diax-Cd is created. In the build directory are the software.

$ cd Diax-CD

$ # unpack the uBoot
$ tar -xzf build/u-boot-1.1.2-hbs1.tar.gz
$ # unpack the uClinux distribution
$ tar xzf build/uClinux-dist-20101104.tgz
$ # compile the uBoot
$ cd u-boot-1.1.2
$ sh build.sh
$ cd ..
$ # compile the uClinux
$ cd uClinux-dist
