I have searched the Gumstix site for hours now trying to locate a simple tutorial on how to load and run the example "Hello World" program, as covered in http://docwici.gumstix.org/Sample_code/C/Hello_World The explanations I have been able to find fall short of telling me what to do next, after running make to compile the program. I'm kind of new to Linux, as are a bunch of others combing the site, so a little "hand-holding" for us newbies would really be appreciated. I have a Verdex with a ConsoleLCD, I've re-flashed the file system, etc. via the serial port (to get the LCD to work). Can you please direct me to exact instructions on how to now take my Hello World program, transfer it to the Gumstix, and make it run? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Example-of-how-to-load-simple-programs-to-Gumstix--tf4773372.html#a13655058 Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

So, there are many ways of doing this. What's your setup? i.e. which type of gumstix and which daugthercards do you have? Do you have a serial connection working? Do you have a network connection working? Do you have a media card (MMC/SD or CF) that can be used? -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

If you have the usb gender converter and mini usb adapter then just use a usb jump drive. Plug the jump drive in your host machine, mount it with: $ mkdir /mnt/usb $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb $ cp hello /mnt/usb $ umount /dev/sda1 Move the jump drive to your gumstix and wait for the display to show that it found sda. Type: $ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb $ cp /mnt/usb/hello /root $ chmod +x /root/hello $ /root/hello Hopefully that helps.

I might also suggest that you get a cf + ethernet or some kind of flash card + ethernet combo expansion card if you haven't already to ease your development process. You're gonna spend a lot of time staring at sluggish serial transfers if you don't =) Erick thaGod wrote: > > If you have the usb gender converter and mini usb adapter then just use a > usb jump drive.
