Hi, You can use RH 7.2 for IXA SDK but setting up of TFTP server and NFS server requires a little different steps than what is documented in the installation guide. -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Rayashish@aol.com [mailto:Rayashish@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 1:04 PM To: ixp1200@CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: Re: [ixp1200] (no subject) In a message dated 3/2/02 11:57:20 AM Pacific Standard Time, abhijeet@cs.utah.edu writes: I am trying to setup the development environment for IXP 1200 EE board. I 've gone through the document, which says: There are two software development environments designed specifically for IXA application developers. 1. The IXA SDK to develop IXA applications and to write code modules targeted for the IXDP1200 Advanced Development Platform. The IXA SDK runs on Red Hat Linux * 6.2 or Cygwin * (under Windows NT * ) and is available on the IXA SDK distribution CD 1. 2. The IXP1200 Microengine Development Environment to write microcode modules (including those for microACEs) targeted for microengines on the IXP1200. The IXP1200 Microengine Development Environment runsWindows NT-4 I want to know if i can use RHL 7.2 for IXA SDK and Windows 2000 Pro for IXP1200 Microengine Development Environmen. Is it necessary to stick with RHL 6.2 and WinNT-4? Regards, Ashish
