2013-08-03 - This page may contain some outdated information. See here for more detailed instructions on how to build on the BeagleBone (White).
- To run the application: A recent Linux kernel (3.2.16 or later) with the 'uio_pruss' module compiled and installed. Also the adc, pwm and gpio interfaces should be present in the /sys filesystem and the kernel should contain the Cape EEPROM parsing code. Otherwise all multiplexer settings must be made manually.
- Either a native (arm) or cross compilation environment to compile the BeBoPr sources and optionally the Linux kernel.
- The BeBoPr sources from GitHub (either clone or download a zip).
- Edit 'setenv' to reflect your compilation environment.
- Source 'setenv' (before running 'make').
- run 'make' with targets 'clean' and 'depend' the first time, and again after merging changes from GitHub.
- run 'make' with target 'all'.
- either run 'make' with target 'install' if your target filesystem is locally mounted.
- or manually copy 'mendel.elf' and 'stepper.bin' to your target filesystem.
- On the BeagleBone, run 'modprobe uio_pruss' to install the 'uio_pruss' module in the kernel.
- Finally run 'mendel.elf' (as root) to start the printer application.
- On the prompt of the gcode interpreter type your commands and enjoy!
