Compiling and Installing an Application for the Assabet

Typically you will develop and test applications in the X environment. Once you have the application working, you need to compile the application for the StrongARM processor. You then move your compiled application and any supporting files into the proper directory structure, create a new RAMDisk file, and upload it to the Assabet.

Compiling an Application

  1. Change all library references to point to libraries compiled for the StrongARM processor. For example, you will probably want to point your makefile to the libraries in /usr/local/censoft/assabet/strongarm/lib.

  2. Change all include references to point to files targeted toward the StrongARM processor. For example, you will prabably want to point your makefile to the file in /usr/local/censoft/assabet/strangarm/include.

  3. Change C/C++ compilers to StrongARM compilers. For example, you can use arm-linux-gcc and arm-linux-g++ as your C and C++ compilers.

  4. Compile.
