flyswatter2 and pandaboard

Submitted by chandrasekhar on February 23, 2012 - 6:11pm

hi,

I recently brought a Arm jtag debugger from Tincantools and trying to use the same,But as davis anders showed us in an how we can connect the board and then port linux kernel on to the board directly from the jtag really fascinated me.But as i was trying to do the same it was quite difficult to even try and start it.First thing that i wanted to know in this discussion is

1.Is this ARM-Jtag Debugger helpfull for debugging linux platforms ?

2.Do we have a proper manual except from the tincantools wiki for the flyswatter2 ?

3.How well can we use it ?

4.Good instances where this will be helpfull in board bring up or Driver development ?

5.How can i use this Jtag debugger with android on the same ?

I am subjected to discussion on these criteria,I will be very thankfull to all the people who would join this discussion and solve,share the issues and also share the knowledge.

Thanks and Regards, More »

beagleboard

I've been trying to get MVIP going on my BeagleBoard-XM (A2) and have so far been unsuccessful. I followed the 'Booting MontaVista Linux 6 on the BeagleBoard' white paper, changing the MLO and u-boot.bin to the latest version.

Attempted to boot image: uImage-2.6.29-1103151715-ti-omap3-beagle.bin

Result:

U-Boot 2010.03 (Feb 20 2011 - 20:15:58)

OMAP3630/3730-GP ES1.0, CPU-OPP2, L3-165MHz,

OMAP3 Beagle board + LPDDR/NAND

I2C: ready

DRAM: 512 MB

NAND: 256 MiB

Out: serial

Err: serial

Probing for expansion boards, if none are connected you'll see a harmless I2C error.

TinyOS or Contiki

Submitted by markovuksanovic on March 28, 2011 - 2:19pm

Which one of the mentioned OSs (TinyOS and Contiki) would you suggest and why? The OS will be used on msp430 device which needs to have IPv6 support. This will be used in sensing application - nothing spectacular... just simple sensors... I'm really not sure which one to choose, both of them seem OKish...

How to use matchbox and Qt together?

Submitted by rajeev on March 16, 2011 - 9:59pm

Hi,

I would like to know how to use Qt and matchbox together. I have compiled Qt with frame bufffer support and matchbox is running on X server. It is working but some painting issues are coming. When we are trying to select a particular icon in Qt application, the match box desktop is responding, especially when some timer is running on Qt application
