[Gumstix-users] Building an image

[Dan T. <Log...@gm...>]

Hi,

Myself and my colleague Richard Johnson have recently started work on
a project using gumstix.  So far we've been very impressed with the
capabilities of the gumstix but have had a problem with the
near-vertical learning curve!

So far I have managed to...

* Log into the gumstix via a serial link and kermit (though it's worth
noting that the serial cable we were sent needed cross wiring)

* Install the version control system, fetch and build everything under
gumstix-buildroot

* Add ~/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/bin/ to my path and
compile the simple "hello world" program using arm_linux_gcc

* Flash the gumstix with the image file root_fs_arm

However, I have run up against a brick wall.  I have no clue where to
place files in the gumstic buildroot file structure to have them added
to the image file and thence the gumstix.  I don't know where to place
my code and where to have the compiled output installed and I'm
generally confused about what files do what in the buildroot.
