Hi All, I got myself a nice gumstix connex board with the STUART and NetCF boards. However, I found working with the gumstix with the two other boards attached is a bit difficult as there's nothing to hold all three boards together, and I fear I might accidentally pull it apart while its on. I'd like to attach all three boards together to provide better stability and/or even make a case for it. Does anyone have any suggestions for fasteners and/or cases? Thanks, J Silverman __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com |

Hi Lorenzo, Thanks for the great link! Hmm, now I have to see if I can replicate something like that ;-) Btw, I just realized I completely forgot what modules to load for the ethernet port and CF slot. Tried finding something on the wiki about it, but couldn't. Could someone refresh my memory? :-) Thanks, J Silverman --- Lorenzo Hernandez Garcia-Hierro <lor...@gm...> wrote: > > http://wiki.tuxedo-es.org/Building_my_first_Gumstix_device:_Snakebite > > Going to re-work the case using an ABS-made black > one. > It works fine anyways :) > > I hope it helps! > > Cheers, > -- > Lorenzo Hernández García-Hierro <lo...@gn...> > [1024D/6F2B2DEC] & > [2048g/9AE91A22][http://tuxedo-es.org] > __________________________________ Yahoo!

J, Somebody posted this a while ago. The screws on here seem to keep the board= s together quite well.s ----------- BEGIN QUOTED MESSAGE ------------ After weeks of living in fear of frying my gumxstix by inadvertantly disconnecting powered up components (okay, I wasn't "living in fear", more like "concerned") I purchased a variety of 0-80 screws, washers and nuts from a model railroad supplier (http://www.kadee.com/). Due to the terrific manufacturing tolerances (at least on my boards) the screws essentially self-tapped through the provided holes. I.e., I did not have to use a compilcated arrangement of nuts to secure each board as the screw passed through it. I used a total of three screws placed as follows: 1) I used on 1/4" screw through the hole on the netMMC card located above the default stuart port used for RS-232 connectivity. I did NOT need secure it with a nut after passing the screw through the gumstix. 2) A 1/2" screw on the backside (opposite side of the ports) of the stuart, through the gumstix, exiting adjacent to the MMC card. I placed a washer and nut on this screw to stiffen things slightly, but it wasn't critical. 3) A 1/2" screw on the backside (opposite side of the ports) of the stuart, through the gumstix, exiting along the edge of the netMMC card opposite the power connector. Advice: either shim, or firmly grip, the cards so the spacing is equal around the edge (none of the cards are flexed) when the screw passes through the next card in line as the spacing will be fixed when it does so. When time allows, I will post up a URL to some digitial pics of my (primitive) arrangement. Securing the boards, however, was a huge improvement. I can now handle the arrangement with cables connected and it is quite sturdy.

Hi, I'm new to cross toolchains. I have a gumstix connex with a netCF and waysmall hooked up. I installed an arm cross compiler using the gumstix buildroot. Basically, I just went through this process .. svn co http://svn.gumstix.com/gumstix-buildroot/trunk gumstix-buildroot cd gumstix-buildroot make I need to compile Dug Song's arpd (used with honeyd www.honeyd.org). That requires pcap.h as an include. I downloaded libpcap from tcpdump.org and now I need to make appropriate changes to the configure and make files in order to properly build libpcap with respect to the cross compiler architecture and so that the files end up at the right places. Can anyone please point me to the right direction to start? Or if someone has already done this I'd be happy to get some pointers. Thanks Farhan |

Farhan, libpcap is already in the buildroot, with a makefile already there for you. From the base dir of the buildroot (ie gumstix-buildroot/ in your case), just type "make libpcap" and it'll build it and install the header files in the staging directory and the libs as necessary. You can then probably copy the make/tcpdump.mk to make/ arpd.mk and edit it to do what arpd needs as far as it's different from tcpdump. You can also add libpcap/arpd then as TARGETs in the top-level buildroot Makefile. If you haven't read it yet, I recommend http://www.gumstix.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Buildroot C On Nov 16, 2005, at 1:33 AM, Farhan Ahmed wrote: > > Hi, > I'm new to cross toolchains.
