i2c-bootloader

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I have been searching the forum for instruction on how to install the i2c-bootloader in the gumstix/robostix combo.  I got the ipk file when I bitbake robostix, I have sent it to the gumstix and did ipkg install but I see no red LED blinking.  The gumstix already say "Starting Robostix", the uisp is working and the fuses have been set.

Sorry for the dumb questions but I am not much of a programmer, I am just starting to learn.

Thank you,
Jose

You'll need to program the i2c-io.hex file into the robostix. I'm not
sure where this is in relation to OE.

so the file (i2c-io.ipk) created by bitbake robostix, is completely useless since it doeas not even contain the i2c-io.hex?

Thank you very much for your help.

I haven't had time to play with OE, but from looking through the
archives, this email lists all of the robostix ipk files:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.gumstix.general/36214>

The two that look relevant to me are:
robostix-avr-i2c-io_1.0-r0_gumstix-custom-connex.ipk
robostix-i2c-io_1.0-r0_gumstix-custom-connex.ipk

My guess is that the one with avr in the name has the i2c-io.hex file in it.
