[Elphel-support] Issue with PPA

2011-08-22 Thread Oleg
Hi Diana,

No, for password just hit Enter (it's empty for anonymous user download
from SourceForge). After that you should have a elphel353-8.1.0.5 folder
on the same level with install_elphel inside, right?

 Could you try to reinstall cris-dist (if the failed manual installation was
 the last one then it might have cleaned everything without installing):

 in the command line:

 sudo apt-get purge cris-dist

 sudo apt-get install cris-dist


 If you feel more comfortable with a graphical user interface this can be
 done in the KPackageKit - launch it and find cris-dist.

Oh ok,
The problem is that the cross-compiler is not installed on your system.

1)
in terminal

 ls -all /usr/local/cris

should display something close to that in the attachement

2) So you have also tried to reinstall cris-dist package, right? (just
reminding)

 sudo apt-get purge cris-dist

Then I'd check if /usr/local/cris is still there and delete it (but it
should be already deleted).

 sudo apt-get install cris-dist


Btw, what's your OS version? Also, is it 64 or 32-bits? I'll try to
reproduce it if it's 32.

3) If the 2) didn't work out could try again a manual installation. The same
cris tools log?

4) if non above worked - could you please send the results.
Around next Tuesday we will have a live-dvd iso image with cris-dist
preinstalled.

Hi Andrey,

I have now successfully installed the Elphel Software, KDevelop 3.5 and opened 
the elphel353.kdevelop project. I have also installed the Xilinx ISE WebPACK 
10.1. I believe my designers are actually most interested in FPGA development. 
I installed the Xilinx software PRIOR to the camera software. Any advice or 
documentation you have on doing FPGA development might be helpful.

Subject: Re: Issue with PPA

Diana,

It is understandable that Axis did not reply - they ended this line of 
processors and we are also working on replacing the CPU in Elphel cameras with 
ARM.  Did it work to install the pre-compiled gcc-cris from ppa? And when you 
tried to compile - did you ally patches to the gcc-cris source (listed on the 
wiki)? What version of the GCC did you use to compile?

What kind of software do you to compile for the camera - application, kernel 
driver?
 Did you consider using PHP with custom (camera-specific) extensions - it works 
well in many cases, i.e. you can use it to create a custom camera API.

For developing in-camera software I would recommend using KDevelop - 
unfortunately you have to use older 3.5 version, but we were able to 
successfully install it on recent Ubuntu systems, the prep_kdevelop.php in the 
top installation directory of Elphel software makes KDevelop project - it 
includes all the Elphel-specific files on different levels of the software so 
it is much easier to navigate the code using built-in ctags and grep interface. 
If you are editing kernel files, then pressing Compile in the menu re-builds 
the kernel drivers, if you are editing application - it will compile and 
install it under target directory - directory structure that is copied to the 
camera, so while working on some application you may just ftp it from there to 
the camera.

Selecting build project rebuilds the whole project and generates the binary 
image that is copied to the nfs directory on your computer (default - /nfs), 
where the camera can grab it and copy to the flash memory. When building the 
project - look at possible mis-match in target.list - any differences are 
reported. It may happen that because of some compilation errors the generated 
image will have some of the files missing, so that image may hang during boot. 
The build script compares the directory structure of the generated target with 
the known-good list.

 I'll ask our team members who dealt with launchpad to investigate this
 issue. Meanwhile - maybe I can help you to achieve your goal differently?
 (as I wrote earlier - launchpad is new for us,  and I personally do not have
 much experience with it, used Sourceforge)  What are you trying to do -
 install development software to compile you programs to run in the camera?
 Or something different?

 Also - can you direct your technical questions to our mailing list? There
 are more people who can help there. You do not have to subscribe to the

binary image that is copied to the nfs directory on your computer (default -
/nfs), where the camera can grab it and copy to the flash memory. When
building the project - look at possible mis-match in target.list - any
differences are reported. It may happen that because of some compilation
errors the generated image will have some of the files missing, so that
image may hang during boot. The build script compares the directory
structure of the generated target with the known-good list.

 Hi, Andrey,

 ** **

 Yes we are trying to develop software and compile our programs to run in
 the camera. I’m following the instructions in the document titled Elphel
 Software Kit for Ubuntu, found on the Wiki.

 ** **

 My next big tackle seems to be compiling gcc-cris.

 ** **

 I have sent the install-cris-tools_log to compiler-cont...@axis.com, but
 they have not responded. I seeing the following message:

 ** **

 **buffer overflow detected**: cris-axis-elf-ar terminiated
 

 ** **

 ** **

 And then the program aborts with an Error 2.

 ** **

 If any of your experts have any ideas, please let know! I’ve attached the
 log.

 ** **

 Thanks again ,

 ** **

 Diana
