27.7.5 Installing the Linux OS from the USB Flash Drive via the
RS-232 Serial Console
When the SC board is damaged to the extent that its bootloader does not operate
correctly or a hidden partition that stores a local copy of the OS installation package is
damaged. Or, alternatively, when a new OS installation image must be installed on the
SC board, use the following method to perform the Linux OS installation from the USB
Flash Drive via the RS-232 serial console.
An empty 1 GB or larger USB Flash Drive (to be provided by the customer) is required
to perform this type of OS installation. The drive must be formatted and a bootable
copy of “Linux OS for SC boards” installation image must be installed on it, as
described below. A Windows XP/2003/Vista based PC is required to complete these
USB Flash Drive preparations.
The RS-232 serial console connection to the SC board is required to perform this type
of OS installation.
27.7.5.1 Preparing the USB Flash Drive
Prior to installing the Linux OS from the USB Flash Drive, you must prepare a
bootable USB Flash drive with the OS installation image.
To prepare a bootable USB Flash Drive with the OS installation image:
1. Connect the USB Flash Drive to a free USB port on your Windows-based PC.
2. Open “My Computer”, right-click the entry that corresponds to the USB Flash
Drive and choose Format.
