Bootable CD

The Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit CD image is a 79MB ISO9660 file that contains a Linux* kernel and an initrd image with the test application. This CD image is bootable, just insert it into your CDROM drive and boot the machine.
You can also use the kernel and initrd files for PXE network booting, and for booting from a USB stick. You can even add these to the bootloader of an existing Linux installation and start the kit from there:

However in the interest of saving bandwidth and download time, we need to mention that these are NOT the bits you are looking for if you want to build your own copy of of the kit!
