Setup Target

Here's how to set up and run your target:

Setup Serial Communication to Target

You need to install a serial communication program (e.g., Minicom) to access the target and obtain an IP address.

Check the Dev Kit Cables UART2 settings are correct. If you're using Minicom, you access the config and initialize menus through CTRL+A Z. Run ifconfig to display the IP address values.

Once you have IP addresses for the dev host and target, you can complete the target setup.

Copy Startup Scripts to Target

Startup scripts are copied automatically when instlegato is run the first time, or you can copy them manually by following the procedure below.

Using ssh, access the target:

ssh root@<target ip address>

When prompted for a password, press enter.

Then create the startup directory:

mkdir -p /mnt/flash/startup

Then copy the startup files to the target by running the following from the dev host:

scp targetFiles/mdm-9x15/startup/fg_* root@<target ip addr>:/mnt/flash/startup

Scripts beginning with fg_ are run first during startup, and then everything else is runs in the background. You can add more scripts to customize your target. fg_ scripts must have executable permissions or they will not run.

See Yocto Install Notes for helpful target setup tips.

Note
In the rare case you need to prevent legato starting automatically, run
touch /mnt/flash/startup/STOPLEGATO

Reboot Target

Wait for the target to fully reboot. The target IP address may have changed. Check it using ifconfig through the serial console before proceeding.

Copy Libraries and Executables

Run this to copy the Legato framework libraries and executables onto the target, and start the Legato runtime components:

$ instlegato build/wp7 <target ip address>

If target startup scripts don't exist or don't match the ones in:

targetFiles/mdm-9x15/startup

... they'll be copied to the target. Old startup files from the target will be copied to the host and can be found in:

targetFiles/mdm-9x15/backup

After updating startup files the target will reboot. Once the target restarts you must run instlegato again to complete installation.

Start Apps

To start an app on the target, run:

root@swi-mdm9x15:~# app start <app name>

To stop an app on the target, run:

root@swi-mdm9x15:~# app stop <app name>

Run app help for options.


These are Target Directories installed.
