imx53 quick start board development environment

[leonardfairclot]

I'm stepping through the steps and here are a few issues that I have found:  Please note I'm working with Ubuntu:

7.3.5 - Configure tftp server

               I do not have "/etc/inetd.conf" or "/etc.default/atftpd".  I also do not have "/etc/exports" is this a new file?

Do I need this to compile code for the imx53?

I skipped this and continued on and then ran into:

"user@ubuntu:~/imx53/11.09.01/L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source$ ls

EULA  install  ltib.tar.gz  package_manifest.txt  pkgs  redboot_201003.zip  tftp.zip"

"~/imx53/11.09.01/L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source$" directory of file does not exist, if I take the $ off it says this is a directory.  What is this looking for?  This is a directory but I'm not sure what it is looking for.

Hi Yuri

Here's a start of a program I'm going to work on from here on out. It's

called smib.c You can see I'm trying to open a serial port. It's not

finding "open" and it's not finding "fcntl.h"

Any ideas would be very helpful.

Thanks

Leonard

[Yuri]

Please try the enclosed.

Hi Yuri

Haven't heard from you in a while. Any luck on getting some information together for me? I have the serial port opening and writing however I can't seem to get it o read. It returns a -1 which I believe is an error. I would like to start trying to connect to a database.

Please let me know

Leonard.

I found it. I didn't extract "linux-imx5-g++.tar.gz" This is where

that directory is. I've attached my Make file (MakeSample). I'd

appreciate it if you could take a look at it. I also attached a c file

that Ia programmer was working on before I took over.

I need an easy environment that I can do the following on the imx53:

1) open a com port

2) open a ethernet port and connect to a mysql database

3) display a series of pictures or videos

4) once screen is touched, display a numeric keypad for user to enter a

number.

5) once user has entered a uvalid number the display will display name

and a point value along with the pictures and video.

Would GNome work or QT. Are these the same type tools? I looked for

GNOME and didn't have much luck, can you attach the pdf?

Thanks

As for
"... an easy environment that I can do the following on the imx53:

1) open a com port

2) open a ethernet port and connect to a mysql database

..."

Sounds good, but  I am afraid this will require some time even to find proper docs
and instructions how to implement such project.

[leonardfairclot]

Would you like some part time work?

I agree, the more I dig into this the more I'm seeing it's not going to

be easy. Lets start with the com port and the QT install?

What would your approach be?

Thanks

Leonard

Hey Yuri

I don't have that directory. Did I get the wrong download? Can you send me the link?

Thanks

If I do a "ls" I see the file. If I do "ls -l" it has all rights including executable rights. Am I missing something

Please try the following command :

./hello

[leonardfairclot]

I didn't try that. Can you explain what that does. In windows the ..would back up on directory

Thanks

./hello - run hello from current directory

Note,
../hello - run hello from the next upper directory

Tried this and there was a confilct. Something has to give. I've been

here for hours and 0 lines of code.

1. Install Eclipse.

sudo apt-get install eclipse

2. Then start Eclipse.

3. Help -> Install new software.

4. Click: Add

Name : CDT

Location : http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/galileo

5. In CDT Main feature, check:

Eclipse C/C++ development tools. (Binary runtime and user

documentation.)

6. In CDT optional feature:

CDT GNU Toolchain Build Support.

CDT GNU Toolchain Debug Support.

CDT Utilities.

Eclipse C/C++ Development Platform.

7. Restart Eclipse.

8. Perfect !!!

[Yuri]

> 8. Perfect !!!

So, all (or at least somewhat) is working ?

[leonardfairclot]

I still cannot open a c project. I'm so frustrated now. I added what you suggested. What else do I have to do? I want to be able to move on and install QT. I should of had some of this completed by now.

Did you get my last reply? The addons for eclipse didn't work. When I

chose new project I can select general and cvs.

[leonardfairclot]

I would agree, but I take out printf and it compiles, I add a int x; and

it compiles. I'm trying to add the plug ins for eclipse and it looked

as it it worked but I still do not have a c project. If anything it

removed Java and now I have general and cvs to choose from under New

Project. I must be getting tired or I'm missing something. I was going

to try and install eclipse from scratch and I downloaded a zip file that

I was supposed to extract into a directory and I can't run that.

Frustrated!

[Yuri]

where ""ltib-fix-rpm-flag.patch" is mentioned ?

[leonardfairclot]

Yuri

Is it possible for you to call me. I'm at 702-992-7206. This will be a

lot more productive.

Thanks

The distro package from the Web is "L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source.tar.gz".
It should be unpacked in order to get the following structure of files and directories :
EULA 
install 
ltib.tar.gz 
package_manifest.txt 

pkgs 
redboot_201003.zip 
tftp.zip

Next - just run ./install

I have this I'm currently at the install tlib. the command is "./tlib"

I'm getting

"I ran the command: sudo -S -l which returned :

sudo passwd for leonard: Sorry, try again

This means you do not have permission to execute rpm commands asa root."

can you tell me how to get around this?

thanks

Leonard
