Hi again! Sorry, but I have more newb questions... I am trying to get an X environment (tinyx) running on the SONY LCD screen that now works. (thanks everyone) However, when I try making a new buildroot with: +=nano +=pxaregs +=tinyx #and commenting out the other default stuff, the resulting root image is about 4.0MB, which is too big for our puny gumstix flash. So I was wondering if it would be possible to stick tinyX on the mmc card, and load it through an init script. Any resources on how to work the mmc card after booting the gumstix? While we're on the subject, when I remove TARGETS+=tinyx and "make", the resulting file image is still 4.0MB, resulting in me doing a completely new buildroot because I can't change the filesize (which takes forever). Is there anything I should do when removing programs from the makefile to combat this? Thanks again! I'm trying to play around with the gumstix as much as possible so that one day I would be able to ANSWER questions instead of always asking! =p Regards, Ohm. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I was actually wondering if it was possible to compile tinyX for the gumstix. I've been doing a minimal amount of searching, like TUCOWS, etc, and they all come with pre-compiled .gz archives. I wanted to load the tinyX program files onto the MMC. I have the mmc ready to recieve files, but I'm having some trouble with tinyX. What I have done is quite Newby, but I added TARGETS+=tinyx to the makefile, did 'make', then took the resulting X11R6 in the root folder and rz'ed it over to the gumstix's MMC. Upon running Xfbdev i get the error that no touchscreen is present. Have I totally goofed by just transferring files over? I figured that since it did not horribly crash when I ran Xfbdev, I might be on the right track. Any takers? Thanks! Ohm. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

After removing something from TARGETS, do the following rm -rf gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/root and then redo the make. The files you see in the root directory is what gets packed up into the roof_fs_arm_nofpu file that you downlaod to the gumstix. You can also manually manipulate files in the build_arm_nofpu/root director= y. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

I added the bridging features using TARGETS+=bridge bridge-utils and using buildroot i built the roof_fs_arm_nofpu. When I load the image on gumstix none of the briding features work. I need help,anyone had luck with briding?

I think by default it's disabled, so that should be it. Try reconfiguring the kernel (I guess running "make menuconfig ARCH=arm" on the kernel build directory should do the trick, while at the config stuff try selecting networking and looking for bridging stuff in there), and them trying to generate the image again. Good luck! Alexandre |

Hi Alexandre, Still no luck, When I do a make maneuconfig ARCH=arm I am getting the follwing error. make: *** no rule to make target menuconfig. David I checked the path I have brctl in the path. when I do brctl it says "package not installed." brctl -h (help) does work though. thanks a lot guys. surendra --- Alexandre Pereira Nunes <al...@om...> wrote: > surendranath g escreveu: > > >I added the bridging features using > >TARGETS+=bridge bridge-utils > >and using buildroot i built the roof_fs_arm_nofpu. > > > >When I load the image on gumstix none of the > briding > >features work.

It has been some time since I bridged with bluetooth but if I remember right you should have a brctl binary in the path as well as libbridge library. Try running brctl.
