Booting

The following diagram shows the booting sequence of Lantern project running on the V330-52TX-RD switch.

As shown in the diagram, if debian rootfs is installed correctly on the USB disk, the basic VCOS image will skip starting the OVS embeded in it, and will booting the complete debian system on the USB disk, and the debian system will booting the OVS package installed in it.

This booting mechanism have the following benefit:

If you have debian rootfs system installed, you do not need to compile basic VCOS image again after you have modified the OVS, you only need to use the command 'make ovs_package' to rebuild OVS and install it again, and restart the OVS service, this save your time by avoding to upgrade VCOS image and rebooting.
