2010-02-03 15:12:28 Boot configuration and scripts

Hi, I am new at programming under uClinux and under Linux as well.

I am attempting to modify the file /etc/rc using vi in order to add some scripts.

For example, I've tried to add the following line: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0. I then save and exit vi. If I type cat etc/rc, the file contains my new line, but if I reboot, the /etc/rc does not contain my new line anymore.

I wonder if there is any other way to modify this file.

Thanks

Alexandre

you shouldnt modify files under romfs/. they'll automatically be clobbered next time you run `make`. if you want to modify things under there, you have to use the source file from the dist.

all ADI boards get their /etc/rc file from vendors/AnalogDevices/common/rc. if you're using a different vendor, you'll have to figure out how that vendor/board does things.
