Mi sto proprio divertendo in questi giorni con la Raspberry-Pi! Dato che ho generato la mia tool chain per cross-compilare da Windows con cygwin ed impostato il mio IDE, ho finalmente iniziato a compilare qualche software ed effettuare qualche porting. Tuttavia ho dovuto affrontare un paio di questioni che mi hanno fatto perdere la mattinata, ovvero da cygwin come compilo un software per Raspberry-Pi usando configure, make e make install mediante la tool chain che ho generato?...

Sono finalmente riuscito a compilare una tool chain funzionante per cross-compilare dalla mia macchina Windows 7 per Raspberry Pi. Mi ci è voluto un po’, ma grazie a dei preziosissimi interventi di Ian Linsdell sul forum di Raspberry Pi (ed un po’ di fortuna!) sono riuscito nell’impresa. La tool chain contiene le versioni Linaro di GCC (gcc-linaro-4.6-2012.07) e GDB (gdb-linaro-7.4-2012.06) compilate con opzione hardfp. Per installarla è sufficiente estrarre l’archivio nella cartella /opt/cross/x-tools in Cygwin (i....

I finally succeeded in compiling a working cross-compilation tool chain for my Raspberry Pi. It took me a while, but thanks to some valuable posts on the Raspberry Pi forum by Ian Linsdell and some luck I finally made it. The tool chain contains the Linaro versions of GCC (gcc-linaro-4.6-2012.07) and GDB (gdb-linaro-7.4-2012.06) compiled with the hardfp option. Simply unpack the archive in the /opt/cross/x-tools folder of your Cygwin installation (i....

In the past few days I’ve spent quite a lot of time on my new shining Raspberry-Pi. It’s an amazing little devil, worth every Euro I spent! Since I’ve planned to deploy a software component of my augmented reality system on this board, I needed to figure out how to remotely debug it in order to troubleshoot any issue I would run into. It took me some time, but thanks to the friends on Raspberry Pi Forum and to this awesome tutorial I finally made it: I can deploy my software to the raspberry-pi from Eclipse CDT and debug from my comfortable Windows 7 machine....

I think I’ve looked almost everywhere on the net to find a good reStructured Text file editor. Most of the free editor I’ve found were outdated our required to much efforts just to install. I finally found UliPad, which also allows user to see a real time html version of the reST document. Funny, isn’t it? UliPad Homepage
