On the prebuilt images page here <http://gumstix.org/download-prebuilt-images.html> , the links to the Yocto-based files for Overo take you to an XFCE-based image for the RootFS. Would it be possible to give a link (or some instructions as to where to find them) to a console-based RootFS image as quite a few Gumstix Overo users have headless systems. -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.x6.nabble.com/Prebuilt-images-request-for-console-based-RootFS-image-tp4967929.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Hi there, sorry that a console-based rootfs image isn't linked on the download page.

Many thanks for rectifying this omission so quickly Adam. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the latest console RootFS didn't have the NetworkManager running from startup which has been the subject of quite a few threads on this forum. I have been trying to get WPA2 WiFi working on my Overo FireStorm via this <http://wiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=Overo_Wifi> link using some older RootFS's from devel.gumstix.com/downloads (this repository appears to have been removed in the last few days?). I've edited both the /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf files and am now able to get wlan0 up and running. I can only achieve this via 'ifup wlan0' as 'ifconfig wlan0 up' does nothing. I'm now going to search through the Gumstix forum to find out how I can automate the 'ifup wlan0' command in one of the init scripts. Ideally, I'd like to disable the Bluetooth transceiver as I don't need that and would like to leave off the BT antenna from my design. I'm working on the assumption that it is just a case of disabling Bluetooth by holding its reset on one of the GPIO pins permanently high? -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.x6.nabble.com/Prebuilt-images-request-for-console-based-RootFS-image-tp4967929p4967942.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Ash, That's an improvement for sure. It's a little confusing to see the "factory" tab after selecting the "Yocto" tab since I still think of "factory" to mean "Angstrom." But in any case this makes it a lot clearer what the options are for the various products and how to get started. Thanks!

Qt embedded all the time, X never. I always thought you guys built those desktop images to stress test your hardware ;-) -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.x6.nabble.com/Prebuilt-images-request-for-console-based-RootFS-image-tp4967929p4967939.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

As a recently new user who got tangled in the web of options for getting started, cleanups that make known-good options that work on the first try are welcome. They would have helped me get started a lot faster. I'm sure I'm not the only headless user who opted for too large a linaro configuration and then tried to tone down the X server that I will never use. If a console-only image (either including dev tools or at minimum including a package manager with which to install dev tools later) were available I would consider switching today to free up resources. Since my entire product lifetime is likely to be the three total units that exist right now, I'm not personally interested in building my own kernel and rootfs from scratch. Of course, if the next project to come my way has a larger production volume, then building my own images will become the right thing to do. -- Ross Berteig Ross@CheshireEng.com Cheshire Engineering Corp. http://www.CheshireEng.com/ |

They would have helped me get started a lot faster. Ditto. I used the Sakoman images but, without the mailing list (the inverted SD card presence patch), I would have assumed the board was broken. The current layout is way way better than before. I would also like to see a console dev image linked to from there. I know it's there but newbies to the site will not. With my QA hat on, it's hard to design documents/sites/help when you are totally familiar with a system (been there, done that!). You practically need to drag someone off the street :-) > Since my entire product lifetime is likely to be the three total units > that exist right now, I'm not personally interested in building my own > kernel and rootfs from scratch. Of course, if the next project to come It's not half as bad if there's a BSP or a highly minimal set of instructions: "Pull this kernel. apt-get install this gcc distro. Type these make commands. Done". I'll do that myself in the user-editable wiki when I get to that stage. Conor. |
