353/363 Support

Basic Developer Preparation

These are the steps to compile from CVS and prepare 353/363 software to flash to the camera.

Preparation

Before you begin, make sure you have the following packages on your system:

• gcc
• make 3.8
• libcris
• byacc
• bc
• perl
• sed
• tar
• zlib
• md5sum
• ncurses-dev

Downloading and installing the source

Navigate to the directory where you will download your source in this example the directory is

/home/username/workspace/

Publish your ssh key to the server with the following commands substituting developer name with your own sourceforge username. As per instructions at https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=105686

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh 

$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@elphel.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elphel co -P elphel353-7.1

After you download the elphel source change one directory down from your working directory to the folder elphel-7.1

$ cd ~/workspace/elphel-7.1

Run the install script, this builds a target source folder.

$ ./install_elphel_from_cvs

After that has finished, change to your target directory

$ cd ../353

Run the install_elphel script this will download sources and build them to the elphel353 directory

$ ./install_elphel

Init the enviroment variables (this is required for a successful php extension build).

$ cd elphel353
$ . ./init_env

After that has finished run make to create the first camera images

$ make

A directory with the same structure as will be on the camera will be mirrored to:

$ ./target

After that, follow the flashing instructions
