Target File System Setup

This section walks the user through building a root file system on the host, sharing the root file system through NFS, and mounting it on the target both manually and automatically at boot time.

Building the Target NFS Root

The root makefile target (located in the build directory) enables you to copy files from components into the root directory.

Because the EXAMPLES component contains binary files that the target must see, use the make root command to copy the binary files of the EXAMPLES component into the root directory as follows:

host% make root 

The root directory now contains the binary files of the EXAMPLES component. You can run this component on any target system where the root directory can be NFS mounted.
