Unable to install I2CTools in on Beagle running Angstrom

Hello,

I am hoping to install i2ctools on my Beagle C5 board so that I can use my DLP pico projector V2.

I downloaded i2c-tools-3.1.0.tar.bz2 from http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/I2CTools

Here are my steps:

  1. mount SD card on Linux PC
  2. from Linux PC, to put the bz2 file onto SD card, I ran sudo tar -xjv -C /media/Angstrom/ -f i2c-tools-3.1.0.tar.bz2
  3. Put SD card into Beagle C5 and boot.
  4. Following the "read me" file that is included in i2c-tools-3.1.0.tar.bz2, I ran this

root@beagleboard:/media/

mmcblk0p2/i2c-tools-3.1.0# make

but an error returned and it is

-bash: make: command not found

I am running Angstrom 3.0.8 and I use the following for booting my beagleboard.

Here is what I put in the SD card,
For 1st partition:
1. http://angstrom.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/beagleboard/MLO
2. http://angstrom.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/beagleboard/u-boot.bin
3. http://angstrom.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/beagleboard/uImage

For 2nd partition
1. http://angstrom.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/beagleboard/Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2011.1-beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
p.s. If anyone know which copy of the Angstrom image contains I2C-tools, it will be greatly appreciated.

    Ku,

    Very glad that you figured it out.

    I will guess that the reason the "make" failed is because you did not have the development tools installed on the Angstrom. You usually wouldn't. You need the gcc tools to make and compile from source.

    Instead, you should install a binary. One way, if your BeagleBoard / Angstrom has internet access is to use "dpkg" to install the binary from the distribution archives.

    Best regards,

    Pascal
