Abstract

In high energy physics experiments, many kinds of board computers are used with VME, compactPCI, and so on. They are usually used as a diskless system booted through a network. Such architecture is easy to use once the setup is completed. However, once the network goes down, there is no chance to start up the system any more. One of the solutions of such difficulty is to use an on-board flash memory device as a boot device. We have developed a NOBLE (Networked On-Board Linux Environment) distribution package as a basic architecture of a flash memory-based data acquisition system, in order to let installation of an operating system on a flash memory device easy.
