The following is a step-by-step procedure to get started using EEROS on the cb20 Board. It describes how to set up the cross development tool chain. The application is developed on a Linux host machine and can then be deployed to the board.

On the host, you have to install the cross development SDK, see Linux on Toradex Colibri i.MX6. Also make sure to have the newest image from our download section Linux Images installed on the target.

Fetch the EEROS scripts on your cross development system with

$ git clone https://github.com/eeros-project/eeros-build-scripts.git eeros-project
$ cd eeros-project

If you want to use flink, edit the file config.sh.in as follows

use_simulator=false
use_flink=true
use_bbblue=false
use_comedi=false
use_ros=false
use_can=false
use_custom_application=true
use_cross_compilation_environment=true
use_ros_setup_script=false

If you do a cross development and your target contains a different processor architecture from your host, you have to choose a suitable SDK.

toolchain_file="$wd"/toolchainfile/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.9.cmake

You can omit the toolchain file if you use our cb20 board together with the associated Cross Development SDK.

If you want to use CAN, choose

use_can=true

Setting the last entry to true will fetch an existing application from a git repository. Per default this will will be https://github.com/eeros-project/simple-motor-control.git. However, you could choose another repository in config.sh.in. Or you could set the entry to false if you want to develop your own application.
Now you can run the clone script

$ ./clone.sh

After this you can continue with Compile.

There is a test application for the cb20 board in https://github.com/ntb-ch/cb20.git under the directory /Software. If you wish to use this you can alter config.sh.in as follows

use_custom_application=true
custom_application_name=cb20test

and further down

custom_application_git_remote_address=https://github.com/ntb-ch/cb20.git
custom_application_git_version=master

custom_application_source_dir="$wd/$custom_application_name/Software/$custom_application_name"
custom_application_build_dir="$build_dir/$custom_application_name"

Now you can run the clone script

$ ./clone.sh

After this you can continue with Compile.
