[Gumstix-users] Clarifying e-con Systems instructions...

[Greg E. <ger...@re...>]

Hello.

 

I am trying to rebuild the application that was supplied with my e-con
systems e-CAM50_CU35x_GSTIX. I am trying to follow the instructions
provided, but a lot of this is quite new to me.

Here are the instructions provided (my comments are in parentheses):

 

**********************************************

6.1 Setting the build environment

 

Prepare the open embedded build environment by going through the
following URL.
http://www.gumstix.org/software-development/open-embedded.html

(GE: I actually followed the instructions here:
http://www.gumstix.org/software-development/open-embedded/61-using-the-o
pen-embedded-build-system.html)

 

Get the Linux kernel 2.6.32-r102g and Tool chain from the open embedded
distribution for building the kernel for omap Overo linux.

Recommended tool chain: arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) version
4.3.3

            (GE: How?)

Tool chain path in the open embedded distribution:
overo-oe/tmp/cross/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-

(GE: How?

**********************************************

 

Can someone explain this in terms that a mechanical engineer can
understand?

 

Thanks,

 

Greg
