Re: What can you do with Overo out of the box?

Hi strangewanderer,

I am far from an expert on this but I found that of of the listed packages have their recipes in
..overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev/recipes/

or already have their ipkgs in
..overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv7a/g++-symlinks_4.3.3-r5.1.3_armv7a.ipk

but since it is in the tmp directory, I must have done something previously to make them.

To the original poster, jpw3, i think the factory image is omap3-desktop-nand-image.bb and these are included.

APPS = " \
abiword \
claws-mail \
evince \
firefox \
gnome-games \
gnome-mplayer \
gnumeric \
gpe-soundbite \
pidgin \
vnc \
x11vnc \
angstrom-x11vnc-xinit \
xmms \
xterm \
"

So, yes, you have should firefox and mplayer out of the box, although I couldnt find firefox on my Overo Water.

How would one do this without having the gumstix connected to the internet? Is there some specific files we can port over the Micro-SD card?

For the project we are using Overo on, we have installed a number of
packages, but have not needed to compile a kernel to get the
functionality we've needed. We have compiled and run C and C++
programs; ran Java programs; used ssh; ran a Web server; setup
networking; ran vnc server; used PPP; talked with serial devices on
ttyS0 and ttyS2.

Here is what we've installed:

Setup "C" build environment:
opkg install gcc
opkg install gcc-symlinks
opkg install libc6-dev
opkg install binutils
opkg install make

Additional packages we installed to setup C++ build environment:
opkg install g++
opkg install g++-symlinks
opkg install libstdc++-dev
opkg install libstdc++6

Setup Java:
opkg install jamvm

Setup Apache web server:
opkg install apache2
opkg install apache2-doc

Best regards,

John
