Instructions for installing on Gen 1 and Gen 2?

[rwaldron]

Are there any straight forward, step-by-step instructions for getting mraa onto either/both Gen 1 or Gen 2 boards?

If you use an eglibc based yocto image you can use this repository which will work for Gen1 & 2.

Finally getting a chance to actually try this now.

1. "eglibc based yocto poky image that supports opkg" (from readme)
   • http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24000/eng/LINUX_IMAGE_FOR_SD_Intel_Galileo_v1.0.2.zip ?
2. Installation via the instructions on the readme appear to complete successfully, however attempting to run any of the JavaScript examples results in: Error: Cannot find module 'mraa'
3. Installation via wget http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/intelgalactic/libmraa0_0.4.4_i586.ipk; opkg install libmraa0_0.4.4_i586.ipk has the same result.

2 and 3 lead me to believe that I'm wrong about 1, but hopefully someone can verify.

Use this image instead: http://iotdk.intel.com/images/iot-devkit-latest-mmcblkp0.direct.bz2

@arfoll what's the difference? Why isn't LINUX_IMAGE_FOR_SD_Intel_Galileo_v1.0.2.zip sufficient? I've been waiting patiently just to be told to use some other image that isn't documented on the repo?

[arfoll]

Consider that image a preview. Honestly without testing it's hard to know but that image should work too, the problem is likely the node module gets placed in /usr/lib/node_modules/ instead of /usr/lib/node. This is because a previous version of node seemed to want it in node_modules. I guess I should change that once and for all in the CMakeLists.txt file.

See the simlink creation here: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-iot-devkit/tree/meta-iot-devkit/recipes-core/images/iot-devkit-image.bb?h=devkit-daisy-1.6.1&id=3c02ad4d14a2099ba62c89d20c1e20c876d56c47

However I can't be sure off the top of my head but I can tell you that image will work :)
