==Ideas:==
This DVD is based on KUbuntu 7.04. I will work on upgrading our distribution.
I think it should be useful to debianize all our software (ElphelOgm, GenRes, MPlayer, ...) Like what we will be able to use Launchpad PPA https://edge.launchpad.net/~elphel-live to build our Ubuntu packages as i tried on : https://edge.launchpad.net/~polto/+archive I have here a working MPlayer what can be installed by Sinaptic (the user-friendly way) just after adding my personal package repository to your sources.
So any Ubuntu user will be able to upgrade to our MPlayer, install ElphelSrv, ...
After what we can make some theme packages with backgrounds etc and generate a DVD with everything installed.
==Next step: ElphelLive DVD & Ubuntu packages==
In order to prepare the next release of Ubuntu based LiveDVD we now use Launchpad PPA.
You can already test some packages on my personal PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~polto/+archive
For this you need to add this two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/polto/ubuntu gutsy main universe multiverse
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/polto/ubuntu gutsy main universe multiverse
and do:
apt-get update; apt-get install elphel-ogm mplayer vlc
Please do not hesitate to post me comments or to discuss in discussion area any kind of ideas for our PPA packages.

Configure your NFS server

Let's say you want to configure an NFS server on your machine and your IP address is 192.168.0.100.

Edit /etc/exports file with your favorite editor. Here I use nano. 

sudo nano -w /etc/exports

Add at the end of the file: 

/nfs            192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync)

save the file.

If it does not yet exist make /nfs directory and make it world writable to make it possible to write logs from the camera. 

sudo mkdir /nfs
sudo chmod 777 -R /nfs

And finally export the filesystem. 

sudo exportfs -a

Install sources of Elphel camera

CVS

Get elphel353_install_from_cvs.sh script and execute it.

Release

Elphel SDK

We provide our clients with a complete SDK to develop software, FPGA code and even to redesign the hardware.

PHP:

  •  PHP API

IDE:

CAD:

  • Varicad (demo)

FPGA:

  • iverilog
  • GTKWave


Developing for Elphel 353 camera:

The camera sources are in: 

~/353

to compile from CVS do: 

cd ~/353/elphel353/
make update
./configure
make
