Re: [Ltib] How to run an application on Embedded Linux

[Charles Krinke]

Dear Casper:

You have a number of choices. 

One is to run a tftp and/or an ftp server on a host on your network and use the tftp or ftp console programs on your ARM to copy files from & to another host. There are free tftp and ftp server programs available for download on the internet for windows systems).

Another is to use NFS to mount either your target to another Linux system or mount another Linux system via NFS to your target. Then you have two hosts (one a development system running Linux and the other your target) and you can "cp" files back and forth.

You can put a binary on an http site and download it with "wget" to your target.

You are already going down the USB path and that is a good one also.

Hello,

     I'm new to embedded linux and i have just built my first kernel and filesystem for my LPC3141 board after weeks of trying different things. I could already see the "address@hidden /]#", i'm using Tera Term software to display this.. I basically know some linux bash commands like 'ls','mkdir', etc... but only the basic ones.. My question is that how can i run an application of my development board now that i have linux on it?? I have no idea what to do next could someone please provide me the right way after having a linux kernel on the devlopment board???

I have a pre-built applications for my board, like blinking leds and maze on the lcd, but i don't know how to run these applications now that i have linux.. I could not even detect my USB stick now that i am in 'bash' prompt, before in the u-boot prompt i could access the usb stick using the command 'usb start', but i know this is not applicable when you are in the 'bash' prompt..

Hope someone could help me out these problems.. Thanks...

Casper
