Start
For starting Linux a kernel binary must be uploaded or be provided via the compact flash (CF) card. Via the kernel command line the kernel is informed where the root file system is found. It can be uploaded as temporary RAM disk (initrd) or be available on the CF card as whole partition.
The Linux Application Platform image includes both the Linux Kernel and the root file system. The image can be uploaded to the CF card with the CF image page.
