Hello!
I have bought an AM1808 EXP board and I could verify that the default
linux SD card boots correctly.
Now I would like to write programs that I could launch at start instead
of the default matrix_guiE. I have a few questions:
1. How is the autostart of an application configured? I mean: matrix_guiE
starts at boot, so I thought there must be some configuration file where
I could find a reference to /usr/bin/matrix_guiE, but apparently it's
something else. Could anybody explain me how it is configured?
2. When trying to install ti-sdk-arm180x-avm-4.0.1.0, I got a warning panel
that I should first install codesourcery tools, a quite old version from
2009 and no other. Is there anything against installing a more recent version?
I noticed the last one was released in 2011. Is it worth upgrading? What features
would it bring? (or what bug would it solve?)
3. When running make from ti-sdk-arm180x-avm-4.0.1.0, the system compiles
apparently everything. When I recompiled, I got a fresh version of matrix_gui
(not guiE). I renamed the original, copied the fresh version to the same
location of the SD card and then could verify that it works just the same.
I didn't test everything but it looks the same. However, matrix_gui weights
105 kBytes while the original version was only about 50 k. Any idea about
the difference?
Thanks,
Pascal
