"Distro" - backup of my current file system for Bifferboard
A set of files can be found here that can be used to create a ready-made Bifferboard system for the control of external devices
the readme.txt file
This is an experimental "distro" of a file-system for the Bifferboard aimed at "external hardware" control applications.
The serial port has been modified so that it only sends and receives when you want it to
- so you can send and receive individual characters to an external PIC micro or similar.
Kernel processes do not talk to the rs232 port
Burn Biff1.3_Sunspot_090421.bzImage to the board as per Bifferos instructions
Decompress Biff1.3_Sunspot_090424.tar.gz to find the files to place on the memory stick
The memory stick root_fs contains -
ssh - with a raw OpenWrt system you start with ftp then move to ssh with a password
(I think this fileset will start up as ssh (user - root, password - root))
secure ftp (user root, password root)
samba (user root, password root)
madplay for *short* mp3 files
madplay soundfile.mp3
flite for text-to-speech
flite -t "hello world" - it sounds like this
M-JPEG streamer for UVC webcams (I use Logitech Quickcam 9000 HD camera)
To serve the pictures on the web do
mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -r 960x720" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -w /webcam_www"
in Firefox see website at 192.168.0.9:8080
nano
"text editing for the rest of us"
gpio control
use aplay to play the wav files in /data
i2c line driver - see http://www.sunspot.co.uk/
Test from web page - go to http://192.168.0.9 with a browser
(or where you have reset the address of the board)
Uncompress files_to_modify.tar.gz to see the files that need to be modified for your own LAN
