Fiddle with RB Command-line

Congratulations!! You have got the Board console ready using "minicom" in Ubuntu Linux or "Putty" in Windows environment.

You are now ready to play with the RuggedBoard-A5D2x.

As the RuggedBoard runs a Yocto based custom Linux OS, you might want to learn a few basic Linux commands that we think might be handy for you to peek though the RB.

Here's a list of a few commands we suggest you to try :

  1. ls - Lists the Files and Folders

  2. pwd - Print Working Directory, Prints the current directory the user is working on.

  3. cd - Change Directory, Used to switch directories from the current directory.

  4. touch - It is used to create a file without any content. The file created using touch command is empty. Ex: touch test.txt, creates a file named test.txt in the current directory.

  5. mkdir- Make Directory, this command creates a new directory. Ex: mkdir test, creates a directory named test.

  6. rm- Remove, this command is used to remove files or folders. Ex: rm test.txt, removes the test.txt file. Ex: rm -rf test, removes the test folder created. Note: It doesn't prompt the user before deleting the file.

  7. cp- Copy, used to files.

  8. mv- Move, used to move the files.

  9. ps- Displays current active processes.

  10. chmod- Change File Permissions, Ex:chmod 777 filename .
