Board Support Package For x86 Targets Running Ubuntu 64-bit Desktop OS
Introduction
This board support package (BSP) supports x86 targets running Ubuntu 64-bit Desktop operating system such as Desktop & Server Platforms, x86 SBCs etc. It has remote build capabilities to build and deploy CASP models on the target hardware and supports CASP simulation panel (SimPanel). It uses Linux GCC 64-bit native compiler tool chain present on the target hardware. For remote build to work, both host and target systems shall be connected through common LAN.
Getting Started
· Ensure target system is updated with latest GCC compiler tool chain
· Following steps shall be followed for building and deploying models on target system
1. Generate Remote Build Tool chain for the target from CASP -> Tools -> HwTools->RemoteBuild. CASP creates a folder containing files that can run on target system. Copy the folder to the target and follow instructions from ‘readme_setup.txt’ file located in the root directory.
2. Run casp_rbuild from the target system’s Linux terminal with proper IP address as argument.
3. Enter the target IP from above step in Remote Build/Deploy IP address in CASP Setup Simulation window as shown below
4. Enter/Select other setup options and click on Run to build and deploy the model on target system.
