How to cross compile the calibrator tool ?

Hi,

I'm getting the following errors while cross-compiling the calibrator tool, which I downloaded from git clone git://github.com/gxk/ti-utils.git.

After following the build steps from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator as well as http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP_Wireless_Connectivity_Calibration_Proccess_NLCP, I was getting the following error:

philip@philip:~/ti-utils$ sudo make CROSS_COMPILE=/home/philip/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

I've downloaded and installed the libnl-2.0 and set the NFSROOT path as needed....

Am I missing something, or do I need to use some other cross-compiler....?

Thanks in advance for all help.

Regards,

Philip Mathew

    Hi,

    I was able to do the cross compile but now I'm facing this error while calibration....any insights....?

    ubuntu@omap:/home/ti-utils$ sudo ./calibrator plt calibrate
    Fail to set PLT power mode on

    Usage:  ./calibrator [options] plt calibrate [<single|dual>]

    Do calibrate for single or dual band chip


    Options:
            --debug         enable netlink debugging
    ubuntu@omap:/home/ti-utils$

     

    Thanks for all help...

    Regards,

    Philip Mathew

    I'm building libnl as a dependency to build WiFi calibrator utility...not sure which host/target tool chain is needed for libnl if it's just used on the host.

    I'm seeing the same issue now with the "unsafe for cross-compilation" error.

    Do you recall what the remedy was?

    Thanks!
