Can't build kernel with minicom via LTIB for i.MX28

[JayWilliamStubb]

Hi,

  I am trying to add minicom to my kernel so that I can run a Terminal Emulation program and easily test the communications with the serial device connected to the EVK's HOST USB port. When I tried adding minicom via LTIB and building, it can't find minicom (see listing below). Any idea where I can pick up this pkg?

Thanks,

Hi,

     Please check the internet connectivity. LTIB tries to download sources from a specified location, if it is not available in /opt/freescale/pkgs/. Please Check the spec file. It seems LTIB is trying to download from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/minicom/minicom_2.2.orig.t.... But it is not available in the repository. One quick solution is change the spec file with a more recent and available version, if you are not very particular about the version. In case you require the exact version, you may download it manually and put them in /opt/freescale/pkgs directory.

Regards,

Balaji
