How to setup an NFS filesystem?

Typically a user might be interested in using the software in just one endian.

But we encourage the user to play with the system and setup 2 differnt NFS servers; one for little endian and another for big endian.

To setup an NFS server(little endian filesystem) please issue the following commands.

Copy the min-root-c6x.cpio.gz from the product folder to a location /opt/min-root-c6x Then issue the following commands sudo gunzip min-root-c6x.cpio.gz       sudo cpio -idmv < min-root-c6x.cpio

Similarly we will have min-root-c6xeb.cpio.gz as the big endian filesystem

To setup an NFS server(big endian filesystem) please issue the following commands.

Copy the min-root-c6xeb.cpio.gz from the product folder to a location /opt/min-root-c6x-be Then issue the following commands sudo gunzip min-root-c6xeb.cpio.gz       sudo cpio -idmv < min-root-c6xeb.cpio

The filesystem should have the following contents as shown below

Then edit the /etc/exports file in the linux host machine. Add the appropriate NFS server locations to this file.



Then issue the command sudo service nfs restart
