novacomd

Summary

Utility to communicate with a target device over USB or TCP/IP

Description

novacom and novacomd provide a generic toolset to allow communication between a host and an embedded device using sockets over USB. If there is a TCP/IP network connection between the two, it can be used instead.

How to build

Dependencies

Below are the tools and libraries (and their minimum versions) required to build novacomd:

  • cmake (version required by openwebos/cmake-modules-webos)
  • gcc 4.6.3
  • glib-2.0 2.32.1
  • libusb 1.0.0 (needed only for the host build)
  • openwebos/cmake-modules-webos 1.0.0 RC4
  • openwebos/nyx-lib 3.0.0 RC1 (needed only for non-host builds)
  • pkg-config 0.26

Building

Once you have downloaded the source, enter the following to build it (after changing into the directory under which it was downloaded):

$ mkdir BUILD
$ cd BUILD
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

The directory under which the files are installed defaults to /usr/local/webos. You can install them elsewhere by supplying a value for WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT when invoking cmake. For example:

$ cmake -D WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT:PATH=$HOME/projects/openwebos ..
$ make
$ make install

will install the files in subdirectories of $HOME/projects/openwebos.

Specifying WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT also causes pkg-config to look in that tree first before searching the standard locations. You can specify additional directories to be searched prior to this one by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

If not specified, WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT defaults to /usr/local/webos.

To build the version of novacomd suitable for running on the host system (for use in communicating with a device), define WEBOS_TARGET_MACHINE_IMPL as host: $ cmake -D WEBOS_TARGET_MACHINE_IMPL:STRING=host ..

Note that this generates a Makefile that installs the files in the same locations as the non-host build.

To configure for a debug build, enter:

$ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug ..

To see a list of the make targets that cmake has generated, enter:

$ make help

Uninstalling

From the directory where you originally ran make install, enter:

$ [sudo] make uninstall

You will need to use sudo if you did not specify WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT.
