Development for 10393
From ElphelWiki
Contents
Setup environment
Get sources and build default images: Instructions
setup.py
- clones all projects
- rerun to update all repositories - then rebuild with bitbake
- creates a working copy of projects-default.json - projects.json
check_versions.py
- compares software versions on the 10393 vs current sources
~$ ./check_versions.py root@192.168.0.9
Flash vs micro SD
- micro SD cards work best for development
- replaceable
- changes get written to the card, no extra sync required
- flash works best for a production system:
- non-replaceable
- limited write cycles
- because of overlayfs changes need an extra sync (overlay_sync) and a proper reboot to get written to the flash.
