Scope of validity
This document is valid for all systems that are supplied with Linux as operating system on
the CompactFlash Card, such as all NCUs of the type NCU 7x0.
Directory on the CompactFlash card
A Linux partition as well as a FAT partition are available on the CompactFlash Card. The
memory space of the CompactFlash Card is occupied mainly by the Linux-EXT3 partition
containing the system software and the user data. A 2MB large FAT partition still exists but
only for internal administration purposes.
When the system is in operation, the following directories (this is a selection and not a
complete list) are available in the EXT3 partition on the CompactFlash Card:
Directory
/siemens
/addon
/oem
/user
/system
/user/system/etc
/user/common/tcu
/var/log/messages
Note
Files in the directory under /user always have priority over files with the same name in the
directory /oem → /addon → /siemens.
