Re: [Gumstix-users] bitbake

[Vidya M. <vid...@gm...>]

Ok. Thanks. That helps.

That is all that I understood in these 2 days :) . I meant the temporary
files that Benny mentioned.
Between, I had posted a newbie question which is still not accepted in the
forums. I am pasting it here. It would be great if you have some pointers.

1) I have flashed the Nand using a pre-built image that I downloaded.
I am referring to
http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Writing-images-to-onboard-nand/111.html.
I could flash it.
Now after I have build my file system image, I wish to flash the new image.
In the .../images/overo folder I see omap3-console-image-overo.tar.bz2,
uImage-2.6.33-r80-overo.bin, uImage-overo.bin. Out of the two uImage-* files
which is the one that I need ( according to my reference link) and where is
the new u-boot file created?

2) I created a new .ipk for hellogumstix (reference:
http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Build-system-overview/Hello-world-tutorial/111.html)
I transferred the .ipk to the gumstix overo using sdcard.

When I try to install it, I am getting the following errors: ( i am using
the latest pre-built image for this)

root@overo:/my_code# opkg install hellogumstix_1.0.0-r0.5_armv7a.ipk

Installing hellogumstix (1.0.0-r0.5) to root...

Configuring hellogumstix.

Collected errors:

What is going wrong?

Thanks a lot!
