Chapter 2: Tutorial 1 1 Introduction GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive, The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar. The tar format is provided for compatability with the tar program. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility with older cpio programs. When extracting from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

  • Real Time Operating Systems Rootfs Creation: Summing Up
    Real Time Operating Systems RootFS Creation: Summing Up Luca Abeni Real Time Operating Systems – p. System Boot System boot → the CPU starts executing from a well-known address ROM address: BIOS → read the first sector on the boot device, and executes it Bootloader (GRUB, LILO, U-Boot, . .) In general, load a kernel and an “intial ram disk” The initial fs image isn’t always needed (example: netboot) Kernel: from arm-test-*.tar.gz Initial filesystem? Loaded in RAM without the kernel help Generally contains the boot scripts and binaries Real Time Operating Systems – p. Initial Filesystem Old (2.4) kernels: Init Ram Disk (initrd); New (2.6) kernels: Init Ram Filesystem (initramfs) Generally used for modularized disk and FS drivers Example: if IDE drivers and Ext2 FS are modules (not inside the kernel), how can the kernel load them from disk? Solution: boot drivers can be on initrd / initramfs The bootloader loads it from disk with the kernel The kernel creates a “fake” fs based on it Modules are loaded from it Embedded systems can use initial FS for all the binaries Qemu does not need a bootloader to load kernel and initial FS (-kernel and -initrd) Real Time Operating Systems – p. Init Ram Filesystem Used in 2.6 kernels It is only a RAM FS: no real filesystem metadata on a storage medium All the files that must populate the FS are stored in a cpio package (similar to tar or zip file) The bootloader loads the cpio file in ram At boot time, the kernel “uncompresses” it, creating the RAM FS, and populating it with the files contained in the archive The cpio archive can be created by using the cpio -o -H newc command (see man cpio) Full command line: find .

  • Working with Compressed Archives
    Working with compressed archives Archiving a collection of files or folders means creating a single file that groups together those files and directories. Archiving does not manipulate the size of files. They are added to the archive as they are. Compressing a file means shrinking the size of the file. There are software for archiving only, other for compressing only and (as you would expect) other that have the ability to archive and compress. This document will show you how to use a windows application called 7-zip (seven zip) to work with compressed archives. 7-zip integrates in the context menu that pops-up up whenever you right-click your mouse on a selection1. In this how-to we will look in the application interface and how we manipulate archives, their compression and contents. 1. Click the 'start' button and type '7-zip' 2. When the search brings up '7-zip File Manager' (as the best match) press 'Enter' 3. The application will startup and you will be presented with the 7-zip manager interface 4. The program integrates both archiving, de/compression and file-management operations. a. The main area of the window provides a list of the files of the active directory. When not viewing the contents of an archive, the application acts like a file browser window. You can open folders to see their contents by just double-clicking on them b. Above the main area you have an address-like bar showing the name of the active directory (currently c:\ADG.Becom). You can use the 'back' icon on the far left to navigate back from where you are and go one directory up.
