System compile for Edison

1. https://github.com/xyongcn/vanet-radio#build-an-intel-edison-image

2. Patch the edison kernel with 0001-default-chan-for-802154.patch (for yocto release 2.0), rebuild the edison-image.

   1. clean the linux build.
      • bitbake -c cleansstate linux-yocto
   2. patch:
      • https://github.com/xyongcn/vanet-radio/blob/master/kernel_driver/0001-default-chan-for-802154.patch
      • Move the patch file to the edison-src/device-software/meta-edison/recipes-kernel/linux/files
      • vi edison-src/device-software/meta-edison/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.10.bbappend
      • Add one line at the bottom:
        • SRC_URI += "file://0001-default-chan-for-802154.patch"

3. Replace the defconfig for kernel.

   1. https://github.com/xyongcn/vanet-radio/blob/master/kernel_driver/defconfig
   2. mv defconfig edison-src/device-software/meta-edison/recipes-kernel/linux/files

4. Rebuild:

   • bitbake edison-image

5. Flash the edison.

Cross-compile Tools

1. https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/edison/downloads
   • "SDK - Cross Compile Tools Download - Windows* 32-bit,Windows* 64-bit,OS X*,Linux* 32-bit,Linux* 64-bit "
2. Dowload the cross compile tools corresponding to your system.
3. Set the tools. Using ubuntu-32bit as an example:
   • uncompress the file.
   • source <position of the tools>/1.6.1/environment-setup-core2-32-poky-linux
   • echo $CC
4. $CC -o xxx xxx.c

Kernel driver for rf4463f30

Access and Debug

1. Bluetooth adb shell for edison:

   • https://github.com/xyongcn/bt-adb-shell
   • Note: The file transmission in the bt-adb-shell is slow.

2. Use the wifi & ssh to transfer files.

   • fast.
   • https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-edison-linux-step5
   • Note: The pin 7 will disorder the wifi. So if the sub-1G radio is installed after wifi, you should re-start wifi by ifconfig wlan0 down & up.
