Install the Linux Driver
1. If Fedora 16 is installed on the PC system’s hard disk, boot as a root-privileged user,
and skip to step 3, page 26.
2. To boot from the Fedora 16 Live DVD provided in the kit, place the DVD in the PC’s
DVD-ROM drive. The Fedora 16 Live Media is for Intel-compatible PCs. The DVD
contains a complete, bootable 32-bit Fedora 16 environment with the proper packages
installed for the TRD demonstration environment. For more details, see Fedora
Information, page 2. The PC boots from the DVD-ROM drive and logs into a liveuser
account. This account has kernel development root privileges required to install and
remove device driver modules.
Note:
Users might have to adjust BIOS boot order settings to make sure that the DVD-ROM
drive is the first drive in the boot order. To enter the BIOS menu to set the boot order, press the
DEL or F2 key when the system is powered on. Set the boot order and save the changes. (The
DEL or F2 key is used by most PC systems to enter the BIOS setup. Some PCs might have a
different way to enter the BIOS setup.)
The PC should boot from the DVD-ROM drive. The images in Figure 15 are seen on the
monitor during boot up.
3. After Fedora 16 Core boots, open a terminal window (click Activities, click
Application, scroll down, and click the Terminal icon). To find out if the PCIe
Endpoint is detected, at the terminal command line, type
$ lspci
The lspci command displays the devices in the PCI and PCI Express buses of the PC.
On the bus of the KC705 card slot is the message
Communication controller: Xilinx Corporation Device 7042
