Thanks for the reply.
I am going to test this.
But i have one doubt. After bitbake, i got a bundle of ipk pakages inside the folder
"tmp-angstrom_2008_1\deploy\glibc\ipk".
So you are telling that these pakages are the same as what is available on
remote(internet) angstrom site. Or do i have to manually download all these ipk
files inside my local http server and do what ever you have specified
That directory (on your local machine) will contain only the subset
of the available packages - just what you've built. If you need additional
packages beyond those in console-image, build them yourself. You could
also import them from a global site, rerun package-index and then serve
them from your local site to your embedded device.

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.
