I can find the old robostix documentation that was based on buildroot, but I find very little documentation on getting the gumstix to work with the robostix with openembedded. I was somewhat expecting that after I enabled robostix in gumstix-custom-verdex.conf (and commented out lcd and touchscreen) and then compiled the robotix module and built a new image that things would be working. The robostix still seems to be in reset mode though. I tried typing "robostix reset off" but it did not find the robostix command. Do I need to do more steps or load the robostix module on manually still? Thanks for your help!

Hi Kevin, This is how we got it to work. First of all, we recommend using "Ubuntu 8.04LTS". We previously had too many problems using 8.10 but after the switch, it worked out smoothly. Anyway, this is how we did it: 1. Uncomment "MACHINE robostix" and recompile the "bitbake gumstix-basic-image". When you install this bitbake to your gumstix, you should be able to use robostix command. 2. Now, you should also be able to uisp the bootloader to robostix. 3. "bitbake robostix" which will give you .ipk files for both i2c-io and i2c-load (Note: We could not get bitbake robostix to work under 8.10 with any avr-gcc we tried) 4. Install these package files and you should be able to flash any programs to your robostix via i2c-load Hope that helps, Peter and Wisit fonnerk wrote: > > I can find the old robostix documentation that was based on buildroot, > but I find very little documentation on getting the gumstix to work with > the robostix with openembedded.

Thanks for the reply... That's kind of what I was expecting. I got the command "bitbake robostix" to work fine. And I uncommented the line... MACHINE_FEATURES += "robostix" in the file /gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection/conf/machine/gumstix-custom-verdex.conf That's what you were refering to correct? I then ran "bitbake gumstix-basic-image" and then loaded my image on my gumstix... but I still didn't have the robostix command after that. I'll take a second look to make sure I didn't mistype anything. Thanks!

Did you do bitbake -c rebuild task-base-gumstix bitbake -c rebuild gumstix-basic-image See this page: http://www.nabble.com/Robostix-Driver-on-Gumstix-OE--td15749335.html I'm pretty sure I've got robostix command from rebuilding it. Wisit Thanks for the reply... That's kind of what I was expecting. I got the command "bitbake robostix" to work fine. And I uncommented the line...

Aha! Thank you! I did not see that posting and did not know that I had to pass -c rebuild when you change machine features. I will try that tonight!

By the way thank you Wisit! Those two commands were what I needed and it is working fine now.
