Building and installing SDK

Build and install the OE-Core aka Yocto SDK, for instructions related to building and installing SDK, have a look at this knowledge base article.

The Linux image for Vybrid module being used for the workshop can be downloaded here and flashed to the module as per Flashing Embedded Linux to Vybrid Modules if required. To facilitate development, a sample SDK can be downloaded from this link. Install the SDK by executing the following from the command line

chmod a+x angstrom-glibc-x86_64-armv7at2hf-neon-v2016.12-toolchain.sh
./angstrom-glibc-x86_64-armv7at2hf-neon-v2016.12-toolchain.sh

Please use the standard default /usr/local/oecore-x86_64 path for SDK installation. The Eclipse projects included in this repository assume that this path has been used for SDK installation. Any generated SDK and image used on the module must include "libsoc" library for the code samples to work. Additionally gtkmm code has dependency on gtkmm library.

Sourcing Environment Script and starting Eclipse

. /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/environment-setup-armv7at2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi

Note the space between the dot and rest of the command. Now start Eclipse from the same terminal from where the above script was sourced.

eclipse &

Import the projects in Eclipse and build the project. Transfer the binary executable which will be available in Debug directory to the module using scp as follows, for example

scp <binary> root@<module_ip_address>:/home/root
