OpenCPN Runs on Embedded ARM

[nohal]

Jake...
ticki has a Beagleboard-xm. ts-7400 is way too weak to be able to handle this task. More in the first few posts of this very thread...

My bad

I mixed up a couple of things, most notably the subject ("Embedded ARM")

embedded-arm does have more recent boards thay may be fast enough, not sure.

I do love the quality of the embedded-arm line of ARM boards, hence my question.

[ticki]

hi,
1.ts-7400 has no graphic on board
2. the Ram is to small
3. no X-Server available( you have to compile it self)
4. the processor ist to slow for good performance.

So,
last week 2 month after my order ,i receiving the Pandaboard ES. I have now OpenCpn on it to. the Pandaboard is faster, bat the Beagleboard with Angstrom Distribution is fast enogh.
Next week i upload the files for the Pandaboard .
the Advantage of the Pandaboard is, that you can use Ubuntu and so
without to compile alot of librarys also us Zygrib in with a good Performance.
Ubuntu in the beagleboard is to slow, bat i wrote the results bevore.

regards
and alot of fun

Hi all,
the exact board pc that I require. It is a very nice sub-project.
Today my beagleboard arrived and I would like to install OCPN.
Do any of you happen to have a complete image with OCPN and Ångström
( I’am not so familiar with linux )?

Regards
alu

[ticki]

Where i can upload the complete Image ?
do you need linux live CD or linux machine to copy the complete Image with DD

dd if=/PathToTheImage/theImage of=/dev/sda

the Image is source file
/dev/sda the card where you like to copy it.

ticki...
If you fell like you want to produce more stuff, just upload it to the place I made for you - the account is still active and there's enough free space...

Hi ticki

If I copy the files to /usr OPCN can’t find the wx libs.
It is easier to copy the image to a sd-card.
It would be nice if you upload the image for the Beagleboard that includes the OCPN installation.

hi Alu,
if you unzip the wxGTK package , you have a folder. You have to copy the content of the folder ( there are 4 folders bin,include,lib and share inside) .
copy not the folder wxWidget to /usr only the 4 folders to /usr

then open console and type : ldconfig ->Enter

ticki

If I have time i make the Image and Upload it.

[Alu]

Hello ticki,

thank you for your answer. Now I have copy the content but ldconfig returns this message:

Can't open configuration file /etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory

Do you have any hint?

Hi,

next try - uncompress the files on the beagleboard and everything is fine. Only the library libGLU is missing.
@ticki do you have compiled the lib?

Hi Alu,
Bring your beagleboard to the Internet and try
opkg install libglu
If you Need more packages and you dont know the correct
Name use
opkg search
Heer you find help for opkg :

It Seems that you Must install Some more Library,which i installiet in my SDK
(Maybe he will also Mesa)

Ticki,
Thanks for sharing your work. I am planning to run OpenCPN on a Beagleboard Xm when they become available again (in a couple of weeks it seems).
For those asking about displays, check out the link that nohal mentioned earlier. Looks like I'll finally get a Pixel Qi display on my boat. :-)
Here's another link to the Pixel Qi (with adapter to Beagleboard or Pandaboard) display:

Hi ticki,

now opencpn run on my beagleboard.
It seems that I have the same problems with the cm93 charts as you.
What do you make to work with cm93?
