Supplied 1PPS and 10 MHz reference, using the cables previously connected to the SRTP2 system. BNC→SMA adaptors were used to make the connection.
Booted into Windows from the onboard PC, configured the network settings to IP 131.217.63.164, NM 255.255.255.128, GW 131.217.63.129. Used “System” in control panel to change computer name (to dbbchb) & DNS lookup to phys.utas.edu.au.
Ran “DBBC control”, answered “y” to reconfiguration. Sampling modules were re-initialised and resumed processing with the 1PPS sync.
Use a fast (133x or better) card with 4 GB or more. We're using a SanDisk Ultra 200x 8 GB.
Mounted the CF on a Linux PC via a USB card reader. Card appears as /dev/sde1
As the card is larger than 4 GB I partitioned it to match Dave's card:
disk /dev/sdb: 4009 MB, 4009549824 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 487 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xe7cf73dd Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 2 487 3903795 83 Linux
sudo fdisk /dev/sde p d (deleted FAT partition) n p 1 2 487 (added Linux partition) a 1 (made partition bootable) p (should now match Dave's card) w
Then installed an ext3 filesystem:
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sde1
Copy the image onto the CF:
gunzip dbbc_if.gz sudo dd if=dbbc_cf of=/dev/sde
Mount the disk
sudo mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/tmp
Edit /mnt/tmp/fstab
and change first line to read
/dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 1
Edit /mnt/tmp/boot/grub/menu.lst
and replace references to the disk partition to /dev/sda1

Unmount, eject and boot on DBBC!
Tim has been having trouble getting the 8 GB card to boot so I got a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra 200x card.
Partition table initially showed
4011 MB, 4011614208 cylinders 128 heads, 63 cylinders/track, 971 cylinders units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes
so in the “extra functionality” mode of fdisk I changed number of cylinders to 487 and number of heads to 255
partition table then could be made to match Dave's.
