[Roboticsprimer-users] iCreate/gumstix

[Robotics P. u. h. l. <rob...@li...>]

Thank you for your responcse

Something is strange when I go to the site I don't see any of the responses to my messages, so I have to wait for the digest. 

Terminology.
I have a Linux desktop upon which I have down loaded the workbook. This is connected via a USB pseudo serial line to the serial port on the gumstix. I refer to the Desktop as the host and the gumstix as the client. It sounds like you're saying the gumstix is the host and my desktop the server? I don't see why you would turn that around but ok to avoid confusion I will refer to my desktop computer as Desktop and my gumstix as gumstix.
I have deduced that I need something running on the gumstix. Your note indicated that is the cross-compiled player. I think that the cross-compiled player was made when I ran "scons install" in roboticsprimer/player,  I know it needed avr-g++ and avrdude to run, so if it wasn't cross compiling player what eas it doing?so I need to know the name of the file and how to get it to the gumstix. The tutorial just said scp it but didn't say how.

Questions
1) What do I need to run on the desktop?
2)what do I need to run on the gumstix? and how do I get it there? could you perhaps give a sample scp command?
3) I assume when I get player on gumstix I run it giving the cfg you mentioned in the e-mail

I have a player directory in which I downloaded player and the roboticsprimer/player
directory which I downloaded with the work book, could you specify which one you mean when you say player?

This may sound very confused to you. but to me I have managed to compile all the code, establish some sort of connection to gumstix and am now dead in the water as there are no instructions other than scp it. scp what? scp how? etc
