2.4  Downloading Linux and Ramdisk  

Note: 

Downloading of Linux and Ramdisk are only possible using the 
RTL8305SB Ethernet port: LANA3. 

The bundled Linux Kernel of FW-3600 is an open source architecture. This section is of vital 
use for programmers who wish to set up the FW-3600 into a TFT server. Downloading of 
Linux and Ramdisk are required when you intend to perform the following: 

modify the existing Kernel, 

replace the entire Kernel, and 

recover to original Kernel of FW-3600. 

Reminder: 

Linux and Ramdisk downloads for modification/replacement/recovery 
purposes require FW-3600 connection to a PC via TFTP protocol.
