Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDEP0084
Tool/software: Linux
I'm sure this is a noddy question and I'm frustrated to be the one asking it. However...
I have taken deliver of a Beaglebone dev kit for the Sitara SimpleLink Sensor to cloud demo. I have drawn the short straw to look at the gateway device. My first step was to try to recreate the EVM image as shipped from the code provided. So I firstly took a copy of the SD card, then tried to build my own using the documentation. I have waded through the multitudinous links... I have built the SDK (tidep0084). I have programmed the SD card using the the create-sdcard.sh script. I had expected this to pick up the build from the SDK and load it into the package on the SD card, thus create an image of the shipped Demo.
However, what I see is that the create-sdcard.sh script seems to purely build a Linux platform and load that onto the SD card. I can boot the Sitara and it comes up nicely, with nothing configured. A purely clean linux install, not even a network interface. So, I looked around and tried to work out what I was missing. I think what I need to do is load the SDK, so all the directories under "tidep0084". My understanding is that these need to go into the ~root directory of the Sitara gateway. Not clear what needs built and what is script...
Now, as the linux install goosed the network interfaces I tried to do this by copying the files to the SD card. It didn't like that... permissions... wasn't visible when I booted the device, etc. So, I resorted to RTFM and to be honest came out very little the wiser. I am assuming this section is what I'm aiming at:
Well I've installed it on the VM PC host for the SDK, I have built it... am I right in thinking the only way to download the application is via an XD200 programmer module into flash? I'm finding this all rather mysterious. I'm questioning why I started and if I've inadvertently blown away something vital. My objective, was to commit the Demonstration application source, such as we are allowed, to VCS and build it. Thus establish a baseline to build from. Did I need to do this?
Help?
