Hi everybody. I have a doubt in openembedded filesystem for beagleboard. I am using console image and file system for my beagleboard. I got this running fine. My aim to test some opengles program to work. Mainly i am using sgxunderbeagleboard wiki for beagleboard. In that wiki, the writer is describing about running "opkg updata". Since i am running this from inside the company, i am unable to connect to the internet. There is any way i can update the system from a local repo. Anybody can help me. NTLMAPS is the one i am using on normal linux to connect to the internet.But this is python based application. so i have to install python in my beagleboard running angstrom. Is there any way to update the system. What is this update doing. Well, from bitbake i can see all ipk file are inside the build folder.Is this enough.... Please help
It's pretty easy to set up a 100% local repository for opkg to use. First, you'll need a local HTTP server. I use lighttpd, but any should do (*) Point your HTTP server to the tmp/deploy/glibc/images/beagleboard directory (I use a symlink) $ \ls -l /var/www/lighttpd/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 gthomas gthomas 48 Jul 2 06:03 oe-feeds-arm -> /local/Angstrom_BeagleBoard/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk Then, on your beagleboard, remove everything in /etc/opkg *except* for arch.conf and opkg.conf. Add this file as /etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf # cat /etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf src/gz all http://192.168.1.126/oe-feeds-arm/all src/gz armv7a http://192.168.1.126/oe-feeds-arm/armv7a src/gz beagleboard http://192.168.1.126/oe-feeds-arm/beagleboard Change the IP address to your HTTP server (it can be a DNS name). Change oe-feeds-arm to whatever your symlink is (as above) On the hose/development system, make sure you run: % bitbake package-index Then, on the beagleboard: % opkg update % opkg install <whatever> Good luck (*) How you install and set up an HTTP server is up to you. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
