Oram Embedded Technology: November 2009
http://charlesoram.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 9, 2009. Upgrade subversion to 1.6 in Debian 5 (lenny). The default subversion package for Debian is svn 1.5 and that doesn't have the feature that allows an externals property to reference a single file (can only reference a directory) so I needed to upgrade to 1.6. Here's how you do it:. Log on as root (su). Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Deb http:/ www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free. Run the following commands:.

Sunday, September 16, 2012. Lilliput UM-80/C/T USB display with a Winmate I931 running Debian Linux. After quite a lot of experimentation and even more Googling, I have managed to get a Winmate I931 (Intel Atom based) PC board running Debian Linux with a Lilliput UM-80/C/T USB display as the only display device connected to the board. Some of the problems I had to overcome along the way:. Here's what I did to configure the system:. Install X and a window manager (I'm using fluxbox):. Screen 0 "screen" 0 0.

Oram Embedded Technology: December 2009
http://charlesoram.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 3, 2009. Run Debian Linux in VMware with no desktop. It seemed pointless having the Gnome desktop when I never use it, and I am already logged on to my PC so I have set it up to automatically log me on and start up an xterm. Note: Some of the commands below need to be run as root. 1 First get rid of nome and gdm. 2 Set up X to run an xterm automatically. Create the file /.xsession and add the following line to it:. Exec xterm -display 10.1.1.3:.0.0. Su chmod s /sbin/halt. Run Debian Li...

Oram Embedded Technology: January 2010
http://charlesoram.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Install eclipse-cdt on Debian. I first tried the obvious approach of "apt-get install eclipse-cdt", that installed a whole lot of packages, but the version of eclipse that I ended up with wouldn't run properly so I tried installing it using the download from www.eclipse.org. That version seems to need Sun's Java 6 runtime, so you also need to install that. Here is how I got eclipse-cdt going in Debian:. Note: Much of this needs to be done as root.). 1 Install Sun java 6.

Oram Embedded Technology: How to Build the FTDI USB Serial Driver for Linux (Debian)
http://charlesoram.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-build-ftdi-usb-serial-driver-for.html
Wednesday, November 4, 2009. How to Build the FTDI USB Serial Driver for Linux (Debian). Note: Some of this information is copied - I can't take credit for it all). To use the FTDI FT4232 (Quad USB to serial adapter) you need the latest FTDI driver and this hasn't made it's way into the Linux kernel yet. The instructions on the FTDI website on how to build it don't work, so you must copy the driver source into a kernel source tree and build it there. Tar xzvf ftdi sio.tar.gz. Lines 655, 656 and 657:.
