Hello Maurizio and Patrick, after the make command, under devboard-R2_01/target/cris-axis-linux-gnu/... there is the complete tree representing the file system that will be written on the fox on flashing the fimage.
If you need to just add a file or two you can just copy the files there in the chosen location and then issue the command: "make images" that will regenerate just the fimage without recompiling. In this way your files will be inside the fimage (even in the read only partition). The logic behind the fimage creation is described here by Axis: http://developer.axis.com/wiki/doku.php?id=axis:software_distribution_design The mechanism to insert files and applications so that they will be inserted automatically by the SDK when in the fimage during make is shown here: http://developer.axis.com/wiki/doku.php?id=axis:apps_howto If you need to copy just files and not applications in automatic mode, you have to: go to devboard-R2_01 issue the command: " . init_env" cd apps mkdir mydir cd mydir issue the command: "make cris-axi-linux-gnu" copy in "mydir" your desired files copy inside "mydir" a Makefile who instruct the make command to process a "make install" section that will just copy your files in the right target location (see how other applications under "/apps" do the make install section to copy their final files in the right target directories) Then generate a file named "post" inside devboard-R2_01/configure-files/ inside this file put the line: sub apps/mydir now go to devboard-R2_01 and issue: ./configure make configure will regenerate the main Makefile so to process your special Makefile under mydir and make will copy your files in the right directories. Look in the target/cris-axis-linux-gnu if your files have been correctly placed. Now you can flash your image to the Fox. Feel free to ask if you need more assistance.
