This page describe how to use Lisa/L from a user point of view
Getting started
- Install Gnu/Linux Ubuntu lucid lynx ( 10.04) and the paparazzi-dev and paparazzi-stm32 packages ( Installation from the Command Line: om this page Installation ).
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install paparazzi-dev paparazzi-stm32
- Connect power to the board. The board accepts input voltage from 6V to 18V. The power connector is from JST and known in the rc world as a BEC connector
- Connect a mini USB cable in the mini USB connector. This should give you two USB devices. The first one ( usualy /dev/ttyUSB0) is the console for the Overo, the second one is the JTAG for the STM32
- Flash a test program in the stm32 :
make AIRCRAFT=BOOZ2_A6 test_baro2.upload
Overo
- The main documentation page for the overo on gumstix website is here.
- We now have a Overo toolchain package ! install the paparazzi-omap package. If you feel it's too easy, you can look at here and enjoy the fun of compiling openembedded yourself
- In order to use the SPI link between the STM32 and the Overo, you'll need a patched linux kernel and a couple of libraries. Look in the developer section if you wanna know the gore details of it. If not, just download our pre-compiled filesystem image and kernel from here and follow the instruction from here to write them on a micro sd card.
- Flash the STM32 with the link test program
make AIRCRAFT=BOOZ2_A6 stm_test_spi_link.upload
- Compile and upload the Overo test program ( assuming you already have the overo toolchain and network... mmmm... more about that soon...)
make AIRCRAFT=BOOZ2_A6 overo_test_spi_link.upload
- Log on your Overo and run it
