What can you do with Overo out of the box?

Can someone please tell me what exactly you can do with the Overo straight out of the box? The gumstix website is a bit unclear. What programs are included by default on the factory image? Is there anything like a web browser or video player or do all of these things need to be added as packages?
Thanks, Gumstixdude |

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gumstix-users mailing list gumstix-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gumstix-users |

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?

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.

Sorry for bumping a several-week old post - again - but I thought since I am a relative newbie and have recently been through the getting feet wet with out-of-the-box stuff routine here, I would add my experiences... And I don't know if any of the replies actually answered the question posed in the subject line anyway. First off, I also didn't find Firefox on my Overo... I thought it was because I read somewhere that they're shipped with the console-image, not the desktop-nand-image? Of course, you can't believe everything you read. Maybe the missing Firefox is what makes the desktop-nand-image smaller than the desktop-image. Anyway... Whichever is the factory image, yes mplayer is there, along with quite a bit of other stuff. My specific setup is an Overo Water + Palo43 + Samsung LCD/touchscreen. The rest of this will most likely be beneficial primarily to those using the LCD. Following the startup documentation (http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Progr amming/Getting-started/111.html), I successfully set up a Kermit connection for a simple console session and got the board to boot just fine. Step 1 done. Of course, nothing showed on the LCD. I managed to find info here in the list archives to get the uboot env to use the LCD. Now, from my Kermit connected console, I could run ts_calibrate and ts_test - and see the apps run on the LCD, and calibrate then use the touchscreen! Step two accomplished. I did some exploring and found that both matchbox and enlightenment desktops were included in the factory image. Attempting to launch those from the console just gave the frequently reported 'display not found' messages. Solutions described here - specifically 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' didn't make a difference for me. (I said I was a relative newbie - both to Overo and Linux). Launching 'X' also failed from the console connection. Anyway, I figured maybe it was because I was not using tty1, so I dug up a powered USB hub and a USB keyboard and connected to the OTG port as described in other threads here. I got logged in via the lcd's terminal that way. From there, I could launch X just fine. (I am guessing there is a way to launch X for the LCD via the console connection? Feel free to educate me here!) Once X was running, from the console (ttyS2) I could start either enlightenment (enlightenment_start) or matchbox (matchbox-panel). Now I found that I did need to do the export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 before the X apps could find the display. Very cool stuff included out of the box!! I haven't found this information all included together in one place, so hopefully it helps someone out after they get their new toy. It took me days of playing to get through (looking back and rereading this) what now seems like a few minutes of work! - Jim -----Original Message----- From: seethoo [mailto:seethoowl@...] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 9:53 PM To: gumstix-users@...

Spoke too soon... opkg update + opkg upgrade problem - help!
by JamminJimP

Rate this Message:
Good news and bad news... First good news, I successfully connected a TrendNet TU-ET100C USB to Ethernet adapter to the console image Overo. It worked out of the box, so you can add that one to the list of tested, working Ethernet devices. Also, I'm successfully using a LinkSys USB2HUB4 that I had laying around (once I obtained a mini-A to standard B OTG cable, since this hub has a standard 'B' host connection http://www.lindy-usa.com/usb-firewire/usb-cables/type-mini-a-to-type-b-u sb-on-the-go/) so you can add that option to the list of tested hubs too. Now the bad news... With Ethernet up and running, I thought I'd try to update the board. The opkg update worked fine, or so it appeared. The opkg upgrade was chugging away happily for a while, so I went for a soda, and got back to find some errors being reported, something about http connection failed (and I failed to record the specifics, my bad). I rebooted, and now I have a continuously restarting X instead of the Angstrom login prompt on the LCD. Trying to run opkg now gives me: opkg: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory Any suggestions on how to restore/recover/move on? (In anticipation of the answer, another question - is it possible, and is there a procedure for creating a bootable SD from WinXP? My current Ubuntu box doesn't have an SD slot.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
