Gumstix uses the OpenEmbedded build environment so developers can create a complete Linux Distribution for embedded systems.

== Overo ==
Instructions for setting up an OE build environment for the Overo series have been posted on www.gumstix.org [http://gumstix.org/getting-started.html here].

== Verdex Pro ==
Instructions for setting up an OE build environment for the Verdex Pro series have been posted in various places at various times. As of Oct2010, the current instructions are [http://www.gumstix.net/wiki/index.php?title=Verdex_Git_Repository here]. They tell you how to build a filesystem image out of your own Git repository with the current kernel (2.6.32 in Oct2010).
Cautions: the build tree can take up over 30 GB unless you add 'INHERIT += rm_work' to your local.conf; by default, the generated filesystem is bigger than Verdex Flash and can be loaded on a specially partitioned MMC card (instructions linked from the page).

Instructions for building a 2.6.21 kernel and appropriate filesystem, from OE and SVN, are [http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/cat/Build-system-overview/111.html here]. As of Oct2010, some of the download URLs are stale, but you should be able to fix all problems by Googling for the error messages.

The old Buildroot documentation for 2.6.21gum kernels is still [http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Buildroot here]. As of Oct2010, many of the download links are stale, but individual packages are available [http://www.daimi.au.dk/~spider/gumstix/gumstix-buildroot/dl/ here] or by Googling the individual package names as they come up in error messages.

'''Kernel'''
There are numerous methods of kernel development; some consider Buildroot the most straightforward. Those using OE may find these links offer useful workflows for kernel development:
* http://ao2.it/en/blog/2010/05/27/neat-compilerun-cycle-git-and-openembedded
* http://bec-systems.com/site/521/best-practices-for-kernel-development-with-openembedded
* http://blogs.elphel.com/2009/12/openembeddedangstrom-kernel-workflow/

To directly cross-compile the 2.6.21 kernel from the OE/SVN tree try these commands:
source ${GUMSTIX_TOP}/extras/profile
cd ${GUMSTIX_TOP}/tmp/work/gumstix-custom-verdex-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gumstix-kernel-2.6.21-r1/linux-2.6.21

===Gumstix in Universities across North America===

====Carnegie Mellon (USA) developed an undergrad course on embedded real-time systems====

Priya Narasimhan: "we're running our core [http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ee349 undergrad embedded real-time systems course] based on the gumstix. We had great success with using the gumstix, and I continued to use it for our [http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece549 senior capstone course] as well.

Our class has 130 juniors and seniors (twice the enrollment as last year, which is a good thing ;-)."

==== MIT Space Elevator Team ====

[http://mclinkor.mit.edu/index.php MIT Space Elevator Team] at [http://www.mit.edu Massachusetts Institute of Technology] is using GumStix hardware in their beam powered climber. The climber will be competing in the NASA Centennial [http://www.elevator2010.org/site/competition.html Space Elevator Challenge].

==== MIT Cerebro mesh network ====

[http://flounder.media.mit.edu/cerebro/index.php/Welcome_to_Cerebro Cerebro] is a scalable, light-weight platform that allows 802.11b/g devices to form a mesh network and offers presence information, exchange information without an operator or a network connection.

[http://code.google.com/p/netbeams/ NetBEAMS/ (Networked Bay Environmental Assessment Monitoring System) builds an end-to-end application for viewing measurements in real-time from probes distributed throughout the San Francisco Bay.

====Stanford AI Lab, California research on Artificial Intelligence====

Tim Hunter and his group are using Overo for research at the [http://ai.stanford.edu/ Stanford AI Lab]]

====Stanford Computer Graphics Lab, California and the Camera 2.0 project====

My research group is working with researchers from Adobe and Nokia on a project called [http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/camera-2.0/ camera 2.0], which is an effort to create hardware and software architectures for cameras that are programmable to the lowest levels. With such programmability, we hope to take much of the recent research in computational photography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_photography), done originally with DSLR cameras on tripods and in laboratory conditions, and apply it to real hand-held camera systems. One of requirements for that is to have fast, direct access to the sensor to allow for tight low-level control loops for systems such as autofocus or synchronization with flashes or other odd hardware.

An OMAP3530 looks to be a nearly-ideal processing platform for such a camera, since it is tightly integrated but still has substantial processing power - our current prototype forces us to program heavy-duty processing code on an FPGA, which is quite laborious.

Smobjects can spontaneously discover each other and be configured with high-level behaviors using appropriate vocabularies and ontologies.

One of the prototypes is a talking plant integrated in the environment, aware of existing conditions (e.g. dangerous or flammable materials) alerting the user about any existing hazard. Other prototype is a weather-aware umbrella that discovers surrounding sources of weather data (such as a rain sensor or an Internet connection to download a weather forecast), blinking if the user intends to leave home without it (if needed).

Donnay: Unprotected "JTAG"

The Overo computer-on-module can't be "bricked", not like the older Verdex/Connex/Basix so JTAG is not needed.

Connection can always be made via the serial port. Tha ASIC ID lets the programmer automatically identify the device and start uploading code.

==== Pixhawk Computer Vision on Micro Air Vehicles - Award Winning ====

[[Image:Pixhawwk-award.png|thumb]]

The [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/blog/pixhawk_team_wins_emav2009_indoor_autonomy_competitio PIXHAWK Micro Air Vehicle Team] won the [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/_detail/blog/2009-09-21-emav-indoor-autonomy-competition-won.png?id=blog%3Apixhawk_team_wins_emav2009_indoor_autonomy_competitio EMAV2009 Indoor Autonomy Competition]. The EMAV air robotic competition and conference is a yearly event reflecting the advances in the micro air vehicle research field. They were able to show automatic image recognition in our entry on the smallest platform capable of onboard image processing. This also proved the feasibility of realtime image processing on a micro air vehicle on a system as small as the Texas Instruments OMAP3530-driven Gumstix Overo Fire COM.

A student team supported by the [http://www.cvg.ethz.ch/ Computer Vision and Geometry Lab] at the Computer Science Department of ETH Zurich is developing an autonomous micro helicopter named [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch PIXHAWK].
The PIXHAWK Gumstix Computer Vision system is leveraging the DSP of the OMAP3530 Gumstix Overo Water (not yet released officially). This led to the [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/blog/dsp_running_on_gumstix_overo_water first DSP code running ever on a Gumstix] single board computer.

The team will offer all hard- and software as open-source to the community after the 2009 MAV competitions, which hopefully encourages others to contribute to computer vision on Gumstix. The project website offers a in-depth series of [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/tutorials/start tutorials] on OpenEmbedded, Gumstix and MAV related topics.

The project's main website can be found [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch here].

====Sailing Robots====

[http://www.aber.ac.uk/compsci Aberystwyth University Department of Computer Science] is using gumstix in several sailing robots. These are being used to autonomously perform oceanography and to compete in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge] a transatlantic autonomous boat race.

Currently 3 boats are using the gumstix:

* "The ARC" - A 1.5m long plywood boat. Uses stepper motors to drive two sails and the rudder. Originally a robostix was used to do this, with a wifi enabled gumstix (connex 200 with CF wifi card) being used to reflash the robostix over i2c. This has now been replaced with a single gumstix controlling a series of [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] chips to drive the steppers as well as some DS1621 temperature sensors.

* "Beagle B" - A 3.5m long fibre glass boat based on an off the shelf dinghy. This uses two linear actuators to drive the sail and rudder, these are controlled by [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md22tech.htm MD22] motor controllers over I2C from the gumstix and a [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] is used to read the feedback potentiometers on each actuator. A rowind ultrasonic windsensor, GPS and PG-500 compass are all connected to serial ports on the gumstix, GPIO lines on a breakout-gs are used to switch transistors which control the power to each of these. Communications is provided by an 802.11b compact flash card configured to behave as an access point as this was found to reconnect with greater ease than using ad-hoc mode. This boat is currently being fitted out to perform oceanographic monitoring and the control system is being redesigned to incorporate two gumstix, one for robot control and another to control the scientific instruments.

* unamed boat - A 2.75m long dinghy intended to cross the atlantic in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge]. An off the shelf tiller pilot controls steering and is connected to the gumstix via a serial interface. Another motor controls the sail using an MD-03 i2c controller. Comms are to be provided with an Iridium satellite phone.

====Clarinet-playing robot====

Australian research group NICTA and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a clarinet-playing robot that runs Linux. The "Robo-Clarinet" won first prize at the Artemis Music Orchestra competition for autonomous, embedded musical instrument performances.

====Pegasus High Altitude Balloon Project====
By James Coxon - [http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk Project Website]

The Pegasus High Altitude Balloon project is a UK based amateur student run project that involves launching payloads to "Near Space" (between an altitude of 60,000ft (20km) and 325,000ft (99km). This is achieved through the use of helium weather balloons which are designed to burst at a certain height and then the payload returns to earth via parachute.

The Pegasus missions utilise the Gumstix as the main flight computer which gathers GPS data, triggers the onboard camera and also transmits data. The most recent launch of Pegasus VI included a data downlink and also SSTV transmission of 'real time' images.

Features of gumstixs used:
* GPS (serial, compact flash and onboard)
* Interfacing with mobile phones/gm862 module (gnokii)
* Interfacing with radio (Aerocomm 868mhz radio modems + 434mhz beacons)
* Using GPIOs to trigger camera shutters + cutdown circuits
* Batteries

[http://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/robots/flockbots/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Home FlockBots] Open Robotics Specification Wiki at [http://cs.gmu.edu/ George Mason University]: Washington, DC, USA

The goal of the FlockBots project is to produce a small (7-inch), differential-drive mobile robot crammed with functionality for about $800. The robot includes a Gumstix 200bt, servoed camera, gripper, encoded wheels, five range finders, touch sensors, and I2C. The robots are intended to be a major step up in capability from "hobby"-type robot kits running off of PIC controllers, etc., while being inexpensive enough to construct a swarm on a budget.

We have published the specification, software, vendor information, and extensive construction details in the hope that others will be able to build similar bots without having to reinvent the wheel. Almost all the robot parts are COTS and provided software is free open source. We invite you to contribute to the website: suggest design changes, revised software, or include a link to your own swarm robotics page.

====Mapping & video via radio controlles helicopter====
During the 06-07 academic year, students in the [http://ait.gmu.edu AIT] Dept. at [http://www.gmu.edu George Mason University] in Manassas, VA built a Gumstix based payload flown on a radio controlled helicopter to do mapping, video and networking. This is a project for a class on Information Defense Technologies. More on the mission can be found on [http://mason.gmu.edu/~amarchan Dr. Marchant's website] and on the class [http://gmuav.com wiki]. During the Fall 07 term, students will integrate a Gumstix with an iRobot Create to produce a surveillance UGV. (Can it be a coincidence that GUM is an anagram of GMU?)

==== Flightstix ====
The North Carolina State University [http://www.ncsu.edu/stud_orgs/ar Aerial Robotics Club is developing a UAV autopilot module for the GumStix, called FlightStix. The FlightStix may be used by ARC to compete in the AUVSI international aerial robotics competition. The system is intended for use in medium-sized fixed-wing (15-50 lb) and rotor wing (5-15 lb) unmanned aerial vehicles. The system's sensors and outputs include:

* 10-channel independant servo-type PWM input and output
* 3-axis gyroscope
* 3-axis accelerometer
* 3-axis magnetometer
* Ultrasonic altimeter
* 2 differential-pressure transducers (for pitot/static and barametric altitude)
* GPS

The hardware used to develop FlightStix consists almost entirely of donations from various electronics manufacturers, including GumStix, Inc.

==== Binocular vision Gumstix ====
I used a gumstix to give my FIRST robot binocular vision, and over the summer I'll be using a robostix and the CMUcams to write an easy-to-customize binocular vision implementation with the CMUcams for gumstix robotics projects.

====RoombaNet at MIT====
The newly-released Roomba Serial Command Interface (SCI) allows the user to drive a Roomba around and read out sensor data. My application has been to control the Roomba using a neural network, but the system is basically a tiny Linux box, so the possibilities are only limited by what will fit in the flash space. This will let you hack your Roomba with complete freedom.

==== ZeeRO mobile robot ====
The [http://rrg.utcluj.ro Robotics Research Group, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca], Cluj-Napoca, Romania has created a sub-1000 Euro mobile robot, which can be used as a standard research platform in their labs. ZeeRO (Zee RObot - see Snatch, the movie) is a differential drive, low cost mobile robot, using a Gumstix 400bt, 2 "clustered" Acroname Brainstem boards (although one of them is just for expansion purposes right now), 4 x SONAR, 2 x IR, 1 x pyroelectric sensors, together with a CMUcam2 servoed.

We ported the [http://playerstage.sourceforge.net Player] platform to Gumstix, and use [http://java-player.sourceforge.net Javaclient] to control our robot's complex algorithms. We're experimenting a lot with neural networks, intelligent agents, and D*-like dynamic navigation algorithms.

In order to control ZeeRO from Player, we wrote a new driver (zeero) and modified some existing ones (such as the cmucam2 driver). The zeero driver is providing the following interfaces to the client library: ^- position2d (for the servos)^ ^- sonar (for the ultrasonic sensors)^ ^- ir (for the infrared detectors)^ ^ - aio (for the pyroelectric sensor)^ The cmucam2 driver (thanks to [http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vaughan/ Richard Vaughan] for the original driver) provides a blobfinder, a ptz and a camera interface to the robot. Schemes, pictures, ideas, explanations, and most importantly, source codes are provided on the ZeeRO web site.

==== AMFO-1/Bobby ====
: Montevideo, Uruguay.
* [http://uavamfo.blogspot.com/ AMFO-1/Bobby (Spanish)]
This project belongs to three students of electrical engineering and to the [http://iie.fing.edu.uy/ Institute of Electrical Engineering], Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de la Republica.

Its our degree project and consists in designing, constructing and validating an autonomous flying vehicle. The main purpose was to develop a platform for further investigation in the area so it needed to be scalable. Due to limited budget, the construction was done entirely by the group which held to time problems.

The system includes:

* 1x Gumstix connex 400xm
* 1x Robostix
* 1x Tweener
* 3-axis accelerometer (2x ADXL320)
* 3-axis gyroscope (3x ADXRS300)
* GPS (1x GPSstix)
The system is deployed and landed manually and switched in auto-mode using a free channel from the R/C radio. It's supposed to follow a determined path (pre flight configured).
Right now we are in the final stages, only resting the interface for tuning the PID loops.
All the software is open source based, and very special thanks goes to all the contributors on the gumstix mailing list.
You can visit a [http://uavamfo.blogspot.com/ blog] of the project (Spanish) to see some of the work and news, an english version and more complete webpage will be available when time permits it.

Build Environment Ubuntu 8.10

2009-09-28T04:26:06Z

Donnay: Undo

This the current set-up for Ubuntu 8.10 with file modifications as described [http://www.nabble.com/Ubuntu-8.10-and-Open-Embeded-td21136352.html on this thread]. gumstix-oe version is 318.

== Setup Build Environment ==
1) Get Ubuntu linux 8.10, and install it on your computer; you can install a vmware version of Ubuntu too, but it will be slow during the building process.

Reconfigure sh to point to bash, not dash:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

Answer no when asked whether you want to install dash as /bin/sh.

2) Install (build-essential, help2man, diffstat, texi2html, texinfo, libncurses5-dev, cvs, gawk, python-dev, python-pysqlite2, python-psyco, ckermit, lrzsz, subversion) by using apt-get. i.e:
sudo apt-get install build-essential help2man diffstat texi2html texinfo libncurses5-dev cvs gawk python-dev python-pysqlite2 python-psyco ckermit lrzsz subversion

3) Download the source from svn, caching the source code
mkdir ~/gumstix
cd ~/gumstix
<nowiki>svn co https://gumstix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gumstix/trunk gumstix-oe</nowiki>
cat gumstix-oe/extras/profile >> ~/.bashrc
sudo groupadd oe
sudo usermod -a -G oe YOUR_CURRENT_USERNAME
sudo mkdir /usr/share/sources
sudo chgrp oe /usr/share/sources
sudo chmod 0775 /usr/share/sources
sudo chmod ug+s /usr/share/sources

4) Downgrade to gcc-4.1 and g++-4.1 and change the links:

sudo aptitude install gcc-4.1 g++-4.1
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/g++-4.1 /usr/bin/g++

Check the links are correct using:

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
ls -l /usr/bin/g++

5) Log out and log in again.

6) Build the basic image, it will fail with an error in dbus:

bitbake gumstix-basic-image

Edit <code>gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/work/i686-linux/dbus-native-1.0.1-r0/dbus-1.0.1/dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c</code>

Add this struct,

<code><pre>
struct ucred {
unsigned int pid;
unsigned int uid;
unsigned int gid;
};
</pre></code>

after the macros.

7) Build the basic image, it will fail with an error in sumversion:

bitbake gumstix-basic-image

Edit <code>gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/work/gumstix-custom-verdex-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gumstix-kernel-2.6.21-r1/linux-2.6.21/scripts/mod/sumversion.c</code>

Add this line,

#include <limits.h>

after all of the other includes.

8) Build the basic image again, this time it should work:

bitbake gumstix-basic-image

9) If everything builds ok, it could be a good idea to modify the dbus-sysdeps-unix.c and sumversion.c files is their respective packages in /usr/share/sources as otherwise everytime you do a rebuild they will be wiped.

==== Computer Vision on Micro Air Vehicles - Award Winning ====

[[Image:Pixhawwk-award.png|thumb]]

The [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/blog/pixhawk_team_wins_emav2009_indoor_autonomy_competitio PIXHAWK Micro Air Vehicle Team] won the [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/_detail/blog/2009-09-21-emav-indoor-autonomy-competition-won.png?id=blog%3Apixhawk_team_wins_emav2009_indoor_autonomy_competitio EMAV2009 Indoor Autonomy Competition]. The EMAV air robotic competition and conference is a yearly event reflecting the advances in the micro air vehicle research field. They were able to show automatic image recognition in our entry on the smallest platform capable of onboard image processing. This also proved the feasibility of realtime image processing on a micro air vehicle on a system as small as the Texas Instruments OMAP3530-driven Gumstix Overo Fire COM.

A student team supported by the [http://www.cvg.ethz.ch/ Computer Vision and Geometry Lab] at the Computer Science Department of ETH Zurich is developing an autonomous micro helicopter named [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch PIXHAWK].
The PIXHAWK Gumstix Computer Vision system is leveraging the DSP of the OMAP3530 Gumstix Overo Water (not yet released officially). This led to the [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/blog/dsp_running_on_gumstix_overo_water first DSP code running ever on a Gumstix] single board computer.

The team will offer all hard- and software as open-source to the community after the 2009 MAV competitions, which hopefully encourages others to contribute to computer vision on Gumstix. The project website offers a in-depth series of [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/tutorials/start tutorials] on OpenEmbedded, Gumstix and MAV related topics.

====Sailing Robots====

[http://www.aber.ac.uk/compsci Aberystwyth University Department of Computer Science] is using gumstix in several sailing robots. These are being used to autonomously perform oceanography and to compete in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge] a transatlantic autonomous boat race.

Currently 3 boats are using the gumstix:

* "The ARC" - A 1.5m long plywood boat. Uses stepper motors to drive two sails and the rudder. Originally a robostix was used to do this, with a wifi enabled gumstix (connex 200 with CF wifi card) being used to reflash the robostix over i2c. This has now been replaced with a single gumstix controlling a series of [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] chips to drive the steppers as well as some DS1621 temperature sensors.

* "Beagle B" - A 3.5m long fibre glass boat based on an off the shelf dinghy. This uses two linear actuators to drive the sail and rudder, these are controlled by [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md22tech.htm MD22] motor controllers over I2C from the gumstix and a [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] is used to read the feedback potentiometers on each actuator. A rowind ultrasonic windsensor, GPS and PG-500 compass are all connected to serial ports on the gumstix, GPIO lines on a breakout-gs are used to switch transistors which control the power to each of these. Communications is provided by an 802.11b compact flash card configured to behave as an access point as this was found to reconnect with greater ease than using ad-hoc mode. This boat is currently being fitted out to perform oceanographic monitoring and the control system is being redesigned to incorporate two gumstix, one for robot control and another to control the scientific instruments.

* unamed boat - A 2.75m long dinghy intended to cross the atlantic in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge]. An off the shelf tiller pilot controls steering and is connected to the gumstix via a serial interface. Another motor controls the sail using an MD-03 i2c controller. Comms are to be provided with an Iridium satellite phone.

====Clarinet-playing robot====

Australian research group NICTA and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a clarinet-playing robot that runs Linux. The "Robo-Clarinet" won first prize at the Artemis Music Orchestra competition for autonomous, embedded musical instrument performances.

====Pegasus High Altitude Balloon Project====
By James Coxon - [http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk Project Website]

The Pegasus High Altitude Balloon project is a UK based amateur student run project that involves launching payloads to "Near Space" (between an altitude of 60,000ft (20km) and 325,000ft (99km). This is achieved through the use of helium weather balloons which are designed to burst at a certain height and then the payload returns to earth via parachute.

The Pegasus missions utilise the Gumstix as the main flight computer which gathers GPS data, triggers the onboard camera and also transmits data. The most recent launch of Pegasus VI included a data downlink and also SSTV transmission of 'real time' images.

Features of gumstixs used:
* GPS (serial, compact flash and onboard)
* Interfacing with mobile phones/gm862 module (gnokii)
* Interfacing with radio (Aerocomm 868mhz radio modems + 434mhz beacons)
* Using GPIOs to trigger camera shutters + cutdown circuits
* Batteries

[http://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/robots/flockbots/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Home FlockBots] Open Robotics Specification Wiki at [http://cs.gmu.edu/ George Mason University]: Washington, DC, USA

The goal of the FlockBots project is to produce a small (7-inch), differential-drive mobile robot crammed with functionality for about $800. The robot includes a Gumstix 200bt, servoed camera, gripper, encoded wheels, five range finders, touch sensors, and I2C. The robots are intended to be a major step up in capability from "hobby"-type robot kits running off of PIC controllers, etc., while being inexpensive enough to construct a swarm on a budget.

We have published the specification, software, vendor information, and extensive construction details in the hope that others will be able to build similar bots without having to reinvent the wheel. Almost all the robot parts are COTS and provided software is free open source. We invite you to contribute to the website: suggest design changes, revised software, or include a link to your own swarm robotics page.

====Mapping & video via radio controlles helicopter====
During the 06-07 academic year, students in the [http://ait.gmu.edu AIT] Dept. at [http://www.gmu.edu George Mason University] in Manassas, VA built a Gumstix based payload flown on a radio controlled helicopter to do mapping, video and networking. This is a project for a class on Information Defense Technologies. More on the mission can be found on [http://mason.gmu.edu/~amarchan Dr. Marchant's website] and on the class [http://gmuav.com wiki].

====RoombaNet at MIT====
The newly-released Roomba Serial Command Interface (SCI) allows the user to drive a Roomba around and read out sensor data. My application has been to control the Roomba using a neural network, but the system is basically a tiny Linux box, so the possibilities are only limited by what will fit in the flash space. This will let you hack your Roomba with complete freedom.

==== ZeeRO mobile robot ====
The [http://rrg.utcluj.ro Robotics Research Group, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca], Cluj-Napoca, Romania has created a sub-1000 Euro mobile robot, which can be used as a standard research platform in their labs. ZeeRO (Zee RObot - see Snatch, the movie) is a differential drive, low cost mobile robot, using a Gumstix 400bt, 2 "clustered" Acroname Brainstem boards (although one of them is just for expansion purposes right now), 4 x SONAR, 2 x IR, 1 x pyroelectric sensors, together with a CMUcam2 servoed.

We ported the [http://playerstage.sourceforge.net Player] platform to Gumstix, and use [http://java-player.sourceforge.net Javaclient] to control our robot's complex algorithms. We're experimenting a lot with neural networks, intelligent agents, and D*-like dynamic navigation algorithms.

In order to control ZeeRO from Player, we wrote a new driver (zeero) and modified some existing ones (such as the cmucam2 driver). The zeero driver is providing the following interfaces to the client library: ^- position2d (for the servos)^ ^- sonar (for the ultrasonic sensors)^ ^- ir (for the infrared detectors)^ ^ - aio (for the pyroelectric sensor)^ The cmucam2 driver (thanks to [http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vaughan/ Richard Vaughan] for the original driver) provides a blobfinder, a ptz and a camera interface to the robot. Schemes, pictures, ideas, explanations, and most importantly, source codes are provided on the ZeeRO web site.

==== AMFO-1/Bobby ====
: Montevideo, Uruguay.
* [http://uavamfo.blogspot.com/ AMFO-1/Bobby (Spanish)]
This project belongs to three students of electrical engineering and to the [http://iie.fing.edu.uy/ Institute of Electrical Engineering], Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de la Republica.

Its our degree project and consists in designing, constructing and validating an autonomous flying vehicle. The main purpose was to develop a platform for further investigation in the area so it needed to be scalable. Due to limited budget, the construction was done entirely by the group which held to time problems.

The system includes:

* 1x Gumstix connex 400xm
* 1x Robostix
* 1x Tweener
* 3-axis accelerometer (2x ADXL320)
* 3-axis gyroscope (3x ADXRS300)
* GPS (1x GPSstix)
The system is deployed and landed manually and switched in auto-mode using a free channel from the R/C radio. It's supposed to follow a determined path (pre flight configured).
Right now we are in the final stages, only resting the interface for tuning the PID loops.
All the software is open source based, and very special thanks goes to all the contributors on the gumstix mailing list.
You can visit a [http://uavamfo.blogspot.com/ blog] of the project (Spanish) to see some of the work and news, an english version and more complete webpage will be available when time permits it.

==== Computer Vision on Micro Air Vehicles ====

The [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/blog/pixhawk_team_wins_emav2009_indoor_autonomy_competitio PIXHAWK Micro Air Vehicle Team] won the [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/_detail/blog/2009-09-21-emav-indoor-autonomy-competition-won.png?id=blog%3Apixhawk_team_wins_emav2009_indoor_autonomy_competitio EMAV2009 Indoor Autonomy Competition]. The EMAV air robotic competition and conference is a yearly event reflecting the advances in the micro air vehicle research field. They were able to show automatic image recognition in our entry on the smallest platform capable of onboard image processing. This also proved the feasibility of realtime image processing on a micro air vehicle on a system as small as the Texas Instruments OMAP3530-driven Gumstix Overo Fire COM.

A student team supported by the [http://www.cvg.ethz.ch/ Computer Vision and Geometry Lab] at the Computer Science Department of ETH Zurich is developing an autonomous micro helicopter named [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch PIXHAWK].
The PIXHAWK Gumstix Computer Vision system is leveraging the DSP of the OMAP3530 Gumstix Overo Water (not yet released officially). This led to the [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/blog/dsp_running_on_gumstix_overo_water first DSP code running ever on a Gumstix] single board computer.

The team will offer all hard- and software as open-source to the community after the 2009 MAV competitions, which hopefully encourages others to contribute to computer vision on Gumstix. The project website offers a in-depth series of [http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/tutorials/start tutorials] on OpenEmbedded, Gumstix and MAV related topics.

====Sailing Robots====

[http://www.aber.ac.uk/compsci Aberystwyth University Department of Computer Science] is using gumstix in several sailing robots. These are being used to autonomously perform oceanography and to compete in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge] a transatlantic autonomous boat race.

Currently 3 boats are using the gumstix:

* "The ARC" - A 1.5m long plywood boat. Uses stepper motors to drive two sails and the rudder. Originally a robostix was used to do this, with a wifi enabled gumstix (connex 200 with CF wifi card) being used to reflash the robostix over i2c. This has now been replaced with a single gumstix controlling a series of [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] chips to drive the steppers as well as some DS1621 temperature sensors.

* "Beagle B" - A 3.5m long fibre glass boat based on an off the shelf dinghy. This uses two linear actuators to drive the sail and rudder, these are controlled by [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md22tech.htm MD22] motor controllers over I2C from the gumstix and a [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] is used to read the feedback potentiometers on each actuator. A rowind ultrasonic windsensor, GPS and PG-500 compass are all connected to serial ports on the gumstix, GPIO lines on a breakout-gs are used to switch transistors which control the power to each of these. Communications is provided by an 802.11b compact flash card configured to behave as an access point as this was found to reconnect with greater ease than using ad-hoc mode. This boat is currently being fitted out to perform oceanographic monitoring and the control system is being redesigned to incorporate two gumstix, one for robot control and another to control the scientific instruments.

* unamed boat - A 2.75m long dinghy intended to cross the atlantic in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge]. An off the shelf tiller pilot controls steering and is connected to the gumstix via a serial interface. Another motor controls the sail using an MD-03 i2c controller. Comms are to be provided with an Iridium satellite phone.

====Clarinet-playing robot====

Australian research group NICTA and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a clarinet-playing robot that runs Linux. The "Robo-Clarinet" won first prize at the Artemis Music Orchestra competition for autonomous, embedded musical instrument performances.

====Pegasus High Altitude Balloon Project====
By James Coxon - [http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk Project Website]

The Pegasus High Altitude Balloon project is a UK based amateur student run project that involves launching payloads to "Near Space" (between an altitude of 60,000ft (20km) and 325,000ft (99km). This is achieved through the use of helium weather balloons which are designed to burst at a certain height and then the payload returns to earth via parachute.

The Pegasus missions utilise the Gumstix as the main flight computer which gathers GPS data, triggers the onboard camera and also transmits data. The most recent launch of Pegasus VI included a data downlink and also SSTV transmission of 'real time' images.

Features of gumstixs used:
* GPS (serial, compact flash and onboard)
* Interfacing with mobile phones/gm862 module (gnokii)
* Interfacing with radio (Aerocomm 868mhz radio modems + 434mhz beacons)
* Using GPIOs to trigger camera shutters + cutdown circuits
* Batteries

[http://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/robots/flockbots/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Home FlockBots] Open Robotics Specification Wiki at [http://cs.gmu.edu/ George Mason University]: Washington, DC, USA

The goal of the FlockBots project is to produce a small (7-inch), differential-drive mobile robot crammed with functionality for about $800. The robot includes a Gumstix 200bt, servoed camera, gripper, encoded wheels, five range finders, touch sensors, and I2C. The robots are intended to be a major step up in capability from "hobby"-type robot kits running off of PIC controllers, etc., while being inexpensive enough to construct a swarm on a budget.

We have published the specification, software, vendor information, and extensive construction details in the hope that others will be able to build similar bots without having to reinvent the wheel. Almost all the robot parts are COTS and provided software is free open source. We invite you to contribute to the website: suggest design changes, revised software, or include a link to your own swarm robotics page.

====Mapping & video via radio controlles helicopter====
During the 06-07 academic year, students in the [http://ait.gmu.edu AIT] Dept. at [http://www.gmu.edu George Mason University] in Manassas, VA built a Gumstix based payload flown on a radio controlled helicopter to do mapping, video and networking. This is a project for a class on Information Defense Technologies. More on the mission can be found on [http://mason.gmu.edu/~amarchan Dr. Marchant's website] and on the class [http://gmuav.com wiki]. During the Fall 07 term, students will integrate a Gumstix with an iRobot Create to produce a surveillance UGV. (Can it be a coincidence that GUM is an anagram of GMU?)

====Rotary wing UAV====
Our group is working on Rotary-Wing UAV. Recently we use gumstix 200-bt and robostix instead of early used PC/104 system. the new gumstix system is much smaller and highly integrated, which is ideal for aerospace special demand in weight. the platform is still under development and by now everything looks pretty good. latest news will be reported on [http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/w/x/wxg130/uav.htm our project page].

===Audio===
====PersonalSoundtrack: Greg Elliott====
Location: University of California, Irvine: Irvine, CA

PersonalSoundtrack, a tiny wearable computer, detects your walking or running speed and plays songs from your music library that match your pace. Song speed is adjusted in real-time to match subtle variations in your gait, while larger, deliberate pace changes cause the device to change songs. You simply put it on and begin moving; that's it.

Most computational devices require the user to adapt to the machine. PersonalSoundtrack offers, instead, a symbiotic relationship: both human and machine actively adapt to each other in real-time. The 'interface' is one's natural gait. There is no optimal or pre-defined experience, encouraging meandering, wasting time, and loitering.

This project has been demonstrated at several shows and featured in several magazines.

Juan Ignacio Vazquez is doing research about embedding Semantic Web technologies into Ubiquitous Computing platforms in order to create more intelligent, perceptive and reactive devices. The prototypes are called ''smobjects'' (smart objects): intelligent agents that exchange semantically annotated information in order to create a shared knowledge space about the environment. Smobjects can spontaneously discover each other and be configured with high-level behaviors using appropriate vocabularies and ontologies.

One of the prototypes is a talking plant integrated in the environment, aware of existing conditions (e.g. dangerous or flammable materials) alerting the user about any existing hazard. Other prototype is a weather-aware umbrella that discovers surrounding sources of weather data (such as a rain sensor or an Internet connection to download a weather forecast), blinking if the user intends to leave home without it (if needed).

The goal of the FlockBots project is to produce a small (7-inch), differential-drive mobile robot crammed with functionality for about $800. The robot includes a Gumstix 200bt, servoed camera, gripper, encoded wheels, five range finders, touch sensors, and I2C. The robots are intended to be a major step up in capability from "hobby"-type robot kits running off of PIC controllers, etc., while being inexpensive enough to construct a swarm on a budget.

We have published the specification, software, vendor information, and extensive construction details in the hope that others will be able to build similar bots without having to reinvent the wheel. Almost all the robot parts are COTS and provided software is free open source. We invite you to contribute to the website: suggest design changes, revised software, or include a link to your own swarm robotics page.

==== ZeeRO mobile robot ====
The [http://rrg.utcluj.ro Robotics Research Group, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca], Cluj-Napoca, Romania has created a sub-1000 Euro mobile robot, which can be used as a standard research platform in their labs. ZeeRO (Zee RObot - see Snatch, the movie) is a differential drive, low cost mobile robot, using a Gumstix 400bt, 2 "clustered" Acroname Brainstem boards (although one of them is just for expansion purposes right now), 4 x SONAR, 2 x IR, 1 x pyroelectric sensors, together with a CMUcam2 servoed.

We ported the [http://playerstage.sourceforge.net Player] platform to Gumstix, and use [http://java-player.sourceforge.net Javaclient] to control our robot's complex algorithms. We're experimenting a lot with neural networks, intelligent agents, and D*-like dynamic navigation algorithms.

In order to control ZeeRO from Player, we wrote a new driver (zeero) and modified some existing ones (such as the cmucam2 driver). The zeero driver is providing the following interfaces to the client library: ^- position2d (for the servos)^ ^- sonar (for the ultrasonic sensors)^ ^- ir (for the infrared detectors)^ ^ - aio (for the pyroelectric sensor)^ The cmucam2 driver (thanks to [http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vaughan/ Richard Vaughan] for the original driver) provides a blobfinder, a ptz and a camera interface to the robot. Schemes, pictures, ideas, explanations, and most importantly, source codes are provided on the ZeeRO web site.

This project belongs to three students of electrical engineering and to the [http://iie.fing.edu.uy/ Institute of Electrical Engineering], Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de la Republica.

Its our degree project and consists in designing, constructing and validating an autonomous flying vehicle. The main purpose was to develop a platform for further investigation in the area so it needed to be scalable. Due to limited budget, the construction was done entirely by the group which held to time problems.

The system includes:

* 1x Gumstix connex 400xm
* 1x Robostix
* 1x Tweener
* 3-axis accelerometer (2x ADXL320)
* 3-axis gyroscope (3x ADXRS300)
* GPS (1x GPSstix)
The system is deployed and landed manually and switched in auto-mode using a free channel from the R/C radio. It's supposed to follow a determined path (pre flight configured).
Right now we are in the final stages, only resting the interface for tuning the PID loops.
All the software is open source based, and very special thanks goes to all the contributors on the gumstix mailing list.
You can visit a [http://uavamfo.blogspot.com/ blog] of the project (Spanish) to see some of the work and news, an english version and more complete webpage will be available when time permits it.

==== Sailing Robots ====

[http://www.aber.ac.uk/compsci Aberystwyth University Department of Computer Science] is using gumstix in several sailing robots. These are being used to autonomously perform oceanography and to compete in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge] a transatlantic autonomous boat race.

Currently 3 boats are using the gumstix:

* "The ARC" - A 1.5m long plywood boat. Uses stepper motors to drive two sails and the rudder. Originally a robostix was used to do this, with a wifi enabled gumstix (connex 200 with CF wifi card) being used to reflash the robostix over i2c. This has now been replaced with a single gumstix controlling a series of [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] chips to drive the steppers as well as some DS1621 temperature sensors.

* "Beagle B" - A 3.5m long fibre glass boat based on an off the shelf dinghy. This uses two linear actuators to drive the sail and rudder, these are controlled by [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md22tech.htm MD22] motor controllers over I2C from the gumstix and a [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] is used to read the feedback potentiometers on each actuator. A rowind ultrasonic windsensor, GPS and PG-500 compass are all connected to serial ports on the gumstix, GPIO lines on a breakout-gs are used to switch transistors which control the power to each of these. Communications is provided by an 802.11b compact flash card configured to behave as an access point as this was found to reconnect with greater ease than using ad-hoc mode. This boat is currently being fitted out to perform oceanographic monitoring and the control system is being redesigned to incorporate two gumstix, one for robot control and another to control the scientific instruments.

* unamed boat - A 2.75m long dinghy intended to cross the atlantic in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge]. An off the shelf tiller pilot controls steering and is connected to the gumstix via a serial interface. Another motor controls the sail using an MD-03 i2c controller. Comms are to be provided with an Iridium satellite phone.

====Pegasus High Altitude Balloon Project====
By James Coxon - [http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk Project Website]

The Pegasus High Altitude Balloon project is a UK based amateur student run project that involves launching payloads to "Near Space" (between an altitude of 60,000ft (20km) and 325,000ft (99km). This is achieved through the use of helium weather balloons which are designed to burst at a certain height and then the payload returns to earth via parachute. We have launched 3 payloads:

* Pegasus I - (Gumstix basix + waysmall HWUART board) - reached an altitude of 20295m
* Pegasus II - (Gumstix connex + waysmall STUART + CFstix) - lost
* Pegasus III - (Gumstix connex + GPSstix) - reached altitude of 19495m
* Pegasus IV - Under Construction

Features of gumstixs used:
* GPS (serial, compact flash and onboard)
* Interfacing with mobile phones (gnokii)
* Interfacing with radio (Aerocomm 868mhz radio modems + 434mhz beacons)
* Using GPIOs to trigger camera shutters + cutdown circuits
* Batteries

===NTP Clock===
By Steve Falco

I used a gumstix with a netCF and GPSstix to build an NTP stratum 1 timeserver. I have an LCD display, showing time of day, location, satellites in view, etc.

A number of mods were done to the GPSstix. I added a pulse-per-second interrupt and a GPS reset circuit. I also hacksawed the 60-pin connectors off a tweener so I could superglue the tweener to the GPSstix (and white-wire it to the uart).

I also bisected the netCF with a hacksaw, so I could bulkhead mount the ethernet connector part of the board (and yes, I am a little bit crazy...).

Anyway, I'd be happy to make the code and schematics available if anybody wants to build something similar. Some pictures and a bit more info here: [http://docwiki.gumstix.org/NTP_Clock NTP Clock]

=== Ninth International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition===
The 2006 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team of Virginia Tech has developed a unique submarine tailored to AUVSI‘s 9th International AUV Competition. The vehicle, Clarus, is designed to pack numerous sensing and analysis capabilities into a small, mobile, and waterproof platform. A PC/104 stack is used to interface sonar, depth, vision, and compass data, and to make autonomous decisions.

The computer is connected to the propulsion system via a Gumstix/Robostix microprocessor stack and
Gamoto motor controllers, which provide low level control.

====PersonalSoundtrack: Greg Elliott====
Location: University of California, Irvine: Irvine, CA

PersonalSoundtrack, a tiny wearable computer, detects your walking or running speed and plays songs from your music library that match your pace. Song speed is adjusted in real-time to match subtle variations in your gait, while larger, deliberate pace changes cause the device to change songs. You simply put it on and begin moving; that's it.

Most computational devices require the user to adapt to the machine. PersonalSoundtrack offers, instead, a symbiotic relationship: both human and machine actively adapt to each other in real-time. The 'interface' is one's natural gait. There is no optimal or pre-defined experience, encouraging meandering, wasting time, and loitering.

This project has been demonstrated at several shows and featured in several magazines.

This project belongs to three students of electrical engineering and to the [http://iie.fing.edu.uy/ Institute of Electrical Engineering], Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de la Republica.

Its our degree project and consists in designing, constructing and validating an autonomous flying vehicle. The main purpose was to develop a platform for further investigation in the area so it needed to be scalable. Due to limited budget, the construction was done entirely by the group which held to time problems.

The system includes:

* 1x Gumstix connex 400xm
* 1x Robostix
* 1x Tweener
* 3-axis accelerometer (2x ADXL320)
* 3-axis gyroscope (3x ADXRS300)
* GPS (1x GPSstix)
The system is deployed and landed manually and switched in auto-mode using a free channel from the R/C radio. It's supposed to follow a determined path (pre flight configured).
Right now we are in the final stages, only resting the interface for tuning the PID loops.
All the software is open source based, and very special thanks goes to all the contributors on the gumstix mailing list.

==== Sailing Robots ====

[http://www.aber.ac.uk/compsci Aberystwyth University Department of Computer Science] is using gumstix in several sailing robots. These are being used to autonomously perform oceanography and to compete in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge] a transatlantic autonomous boat race.

Currently 3 boats are using the gumstix:

* "The ARC" - A 1.5m long plywood boat. Uses stepper motors to drive two sails and the rudder. Originally a robostix was used to do this, with a wifi enabled gumstix (connex 200 with CF wifi card) being used to reflash the robostix over i2c. This has now been replaced with a single gumstix controlling a series of [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] chips to drive the steppers as well as some DS1621 temperature sensors.

* "Beagle B" - A 3.5m long fibre glass boat based on an off the shelf dinghy. This uses two linear actuators to drive the sail and rudder, these are controlled by [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md22tech.htm MD22] motor controllers over I2C from the gumstix and a [http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/gpio14tech.htm GPIO14] is used to read the feedback potentiometers on each actuator. A rowind ultrasonic windsensor, GPS and PG-500 compass are all connected to serial ports on the gumstix, GPIO lines on a breakout-gs are used to switch transistors which control the power to each of these. Communications is provided by an 802.11b compact flash card configured to behave as an access point as this was found to reconnect with greater ease than using ad-hoc mode. This boat is currently being fitted out to perform oceanographic monitoring and the control system is being redesigned to incorporate two gumstix, one for robot control and another to control the scientific instruments.

* unamed boat - A 2.75m long dinghy intended to cross the atlantic in the [http://www.microtransat.org Microtransat Challenge]. An off the shelf tiller pilot controls steering and is connected to the gumstix via a serial interface. Another motor controls the sail using an MD-03 i2c controller.

====Pegasus High Altitude Balloon Project====
By James Coxon - [http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk Project Website]

The Pegasus High Altitude Balloon project is a UK based amateur student run project that involves launching payloads to "Near Space" (between an altitude of 60,000ft (20km) and 325,000ft (99km). This is achieved through the use of helium weather balloons which are designed to burst at a certain height and then the payload returns to earth via parachute. We have launched 3 payloads:

* Pegasus I - (Gumstix basix + waysmall HWUART board) - reached an altitude of 20295m
* Pegasus II - (Gumstix connex + waysmall STUART + CFstix) - lost
* Pegasus III - (Gumstix connex + GPSstix) - reached altitude of 19495m
* Pegasus IV - Under Construction

Features of gumstixs used:
* GPS (serial, compact flash and onboard)
* Interfacing with mobile phones (gnokii)
* Interfacing with radio (Aerocomm 868mhz radio modems + 434mhz beacons)
* Using GPIOs to trigger camera shutters + cutdown circuits
* Batteries

===NTP Clock===
By Steve Falco

I used a gumstix with a netCF and GPSstix to build an NTP stratum 1 timeserver. I have an LCD display, showing time of day, location, satellites in view, etc.

A number of mods were done to the GPSstix. I added a pulse-per-second interrupt and a GPS reset circuit. I also hacksawed the 60-pin connectors off a tweener so I could superglue the tweener to the GPSstix (and white-wire it to the uart).

I also bisected the netCF with a hacksaw, so I could bulkhead mount the ethernet connector part of the board (and yes, I am a little bit crazy...).

Anyway, I'd be happy to make the code and schematics available if anybody wants to build something similar. Some pictures and a bit more info here: [http://docwiki.gumstix.org/NTP_Clock NTP Clock]

==== ZeeRO mobile robot ====
The [http://rrg.utcluj.ro Robotics Research Group, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca], Cluj-Napoca, Romania has created a sub-1000 Euro mobile robot, which can be used as a standard research platform in their labs. ZeeRO (Zee RObot - see Snatch, the movie) is a differential drive, low cost mobile robot, using a Gumstix 400bt, 2 "clustered" Acroname Brainstem boards (although one of them is just for expansion purposes right now), 4 x SONAR, 2 x IR, 1 x pyroelectric sensors, together with a CMUcam2 servoed.

We ported the [http://playerstage.sourceforge.net Player] platform to Gumstix, and use [http://java-player.sourceforge.net Javaclient] to control our robot's complex algorithms. We're experimenting a lot with neural networks, intelligent agents, and D*-like dynamic navigation algorithms.

In order to control ZeeRO from Player, we wrote a new driver (zeero) and modified some existing ones (such as the cmucam2 driver). The zeero driver is providing the following interfaces to the client library: ^- position2d (for the servos)^ ^- sonar (for the ultrasonic sensors)^ ^- ir (for the infrared detectors)^ ^ - aio (for the pyroelectric sensor)^ The cmucam2 driver (thanks to [http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vaughan/ Richard Vaughan] for the original driver) provides a blobfinder, a ptz and a camera interface to the robot. Schemes, pictures, ideas, explanations, and most importantly, source codes are provided on the ZeeRO web site.

Boot from MMC

2009-09-10T18:15:49Z

Donnay: undo

This section describes how to boot off an MMC/microSD memory card. At the moment it is not possible to boot from microSDHC cards, usually the ones with more than 2GB capacity. This is because the high-speed drivers are not supported. See [http://www.nabble.com/Verdex---16GB-microSD-card-not-detected%2C-but-2GB-is.-td21975350.html this thread]

== Partition the card ==

Place the card into your reader, and unmount it if it is mounted.

Assuming it is the only mmc card, run fdisk:

sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

Delete any partitions on the disk, in this case there were two:

<pre>
Command (m for help): d
Partition number (1-4): 1

Command (m for help): d
Selected partition 2
</pre>

Create the kernel partition:

<pre>
Command (m for help): n
Partition number (1-4): 1

Command (m for help): n
Selected partition 2
</pre>

Set it to FAT16 file system:

<pre>
Command (m for help): t
Selected partition 1
Hex code (type L to list codes): 6
Changed system type of partition 1 to 6 (FAT16)
</pre>

Create the root fs partition:

<pre>
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 2
First cylinder (22-984, default 22): 22
Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (22-984, default 984): 984
</pre>

Save the partition table:

<pre>
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x
partitions, please see the fdisk manual page for additional
information.
Syncing disks.
</pre>

== Format the card ==

Format the kernel partition

mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/mmcblk0p1 -n gum-uimage

Format the rootfs partition

mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p2 -L gum-rootfs

Remove and reinsert the card, you should have two mmc drives, one called gum-uimage and one called gum-rootfs

== Enable booting from MMC in kernel ==

If you don't have the user.collection directory setup to change the appropriate conf file, do so like:

mkdir -p $USERBRANCH
cp -r $GUMSTIXBRANCH/conf $USERBRANCH

Edit the conf file for your gumstix, eg for the verdex the file is:

$GUMSTIXTOP/user.collection/conf/machine/gumstix-custom-verdex.conf

Uncomment the line:

MACHINE_FEATURES += "mmcroot"

The kernel will now build with the necessary drivers

Save the file and rebuild the image:

bitbake -c rebuild task-base-gumstix
bitbake -c rebuild gumstix-kernel
bitbake -c rebuild gumstix-basic-image

== Put the images on the card ==

Copy the uimage file from the working directory to the uimage partition on the card, eg:

cp $GUMSTIXTOP/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/gumstix-custom-verdex/uImage-2.6.21-r1-gumstix-custom-verdex.bin /media/gum-uimage/uimage

Make sure the file on the card is named <code>uimage</code>

Copy the gumstix-factory.script to the uimage partition as well:

cp $GUMSTIXTOP/extras/mmc-root/gumstix-factory.script /media/gum-uimage

Unpack the root file system to the rootfs partition on the card, eg:

sudo tar -xvpzf $GUMSTIXTOP/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/gumstix-custom-verdex/Angstrom-gumstix-basic-image-glibc-ipk-2007.9-test-20090212-gumstix-custom-verdex.rootfs.tar.gz -C /media/gum-rootfs/

Unmount BOTH partitions.

== Boot! ==

Place the card in the gumstix and power up.

You should see comething similar to:

<pre>

Qt solution

Donnay: consolidate

[http://qt.nokia.com/ Qt] is a cross-platform application and user interface framework for C++ based applications. Of special interest to Gumstix developers is that it allows you to develop applications and user interfaces once, and then deploy them on Windows, Mac, Linux, Windows CE and Nokia S60 platforms. This allows the Gumstix platform to be used as either a development platform where the final application is deployed elsewhere or as a low cost target platform for applications developed elsewhere.

To find information about consultants that can help you with your application development with Qt, review the information posted in this [http://www.gumstix.com/consultants.html Gumstix Verified Design Consultants (VDC)] section of gumstix.com.

== Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. Experts in Qt Development on Gumstix Verdex and Overo series ==

[http://www.ics.com ICS] is the largest source of independent Qt experts for embedded systems. Gumstix products are regularly used by ICS to develop and deploy Qt based multi-media applications for devices requiring small CPU/Memory footprints that can deliver engaging user interfaces with high video frame rate. Past efforts include the development of software applications for set-top boxes, video players, network test equipment, office equipment, retail systems, medical instruments and mobile devices.

email info@ics.com for more information. [http://www.ics.com/learning/icsnetwork Click here] to access free training videos on the Qt framework.

====Stanford Computer Graphics Lab, California and the Camera 2.0 project====

My research group is working with researchers from Adobe and Nokia on a project called [http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/camera-2.0/ camera 2.0], which is an effort to create hardware and software architectures for cameras that are programmable to the lowest levels. With such programmability, we hope to take much of the recent research in computational photography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_photography), done originally with DSLR cameras on tripods and in laboratory conditions, and apply it to real hand-held camera systems. One of requirements for that is to have fast, direct access to the sensor to allow for tight low-level control loops for systems such as autofocus or synchronization with flashes or other odd hardware.

An OMAP3530 looks to be a nearly-ideal processing platform for such a camera, since it is tightly integrated but still has substantial processing power - our current prototype forces us to program heavy-duty processing code on an FPGA, which is quite laborious.

Smobjects can spontaneously discover each other and be configured with high-level behaviors using appropriate vocabularies and ontologies.

One of the prototypes is a talking plant integrated in the environment, aware of existing conditions (e.g. dangerous or flammable materials) alerting the user about any existing hazard. Other prototype is a weather-aware umbrella that discovers surrounding sources of weather data (such as a rain sensor or an Internet connection to download a weather forecast), blinking if the user intends to leave home without it (if needed).
