Preparing Dev System

This is the procedure to follow to setup a Linux PC for building the PLX SDK:

1) Install Fedora 13.

2) Install required packages.

  yum install xfsprogs gcc bison flex gettext wget texinfo patch gcc-g++ ncurses-devel ncurses glibc

3) If running on a 64-bit Intel CPU, install glibc.i386. Otherwise, sourcery_g++ cannot run and will crash with obscure error codes.

  yum install glibc.i386

4) Grab and extract this file:

  https://sourcery.mentor.com/public/gnu_toolchain/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2009q3-67-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

5) Append the extracted folder's bin folder to the user PATH variable. This can be set in ~/.bash_profile, or directly in the build script.

6) Install svn software

7) Grab the SDK from svn

8) Run the build script

  ./build.sh annotatorpro

9) (Optional) When compiling: open another terminal window to follow the compilation process.

  tail -f build.log

10) Connect SATA drive and run install-fast-7825.sh.
