You need to install the Python ClientForm module.

I had to install it manually on Ubuntu 12.04:

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/C/ClientForm/ClientForm-0.2.10.tar.gz
tar zxf ClientForm-0.2.10.tar.gz
cd ClientForm-0.2.10
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Comment on Faster boot: starting Linux directly from AT91bootstrap by Jalal

Hi,
I am trying to implement this for at91sam9g45, when the process switch to Linux kernel, I can see kernel decompressing done correctly through the self decompression image, then when the process is going to switch to the Linux kernel, it is halted and Linux kernel is not coming up, even I can not see the kernel booting process.
Is there any Idea ?
Regards,

Thank your for your great job.

I am working on AT91SAM9G20, and I’d like to do some extra testing on PREEMPT_RT in my lab, could you give me some detailed step-by-step instructions on how to migrate the software and also your testing applications, if it possible.

Best Regards,

It’s really great guys! Merci beaucoup!

BTW, use of LaTeX is a good choice, it will be much easier to make translations, but do you considered wiki-formats e.g. AsciiDoc or Pandoc?

Comment on Building a small Debian root filesystem with Multistrap by Thomas

I’m facing some problems with multistrap: lenny seems no to be available on the server:

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

so I changed the suite to squeeze but I get exactly the same output. It seems that the option for suite has no meaning/action in the config file. Any ideas?
(I’m running Ubuntu 10.04 on an amd64 arch, multistrap 2.0.4) thanks for any response!

Yes, we welcome foreign candidates, but for this particular position, we need the person to settle near our customers on the French Riviera, to work on their locations there if needed.

Thanx mate… great work !
Perfect timing… i’m advertising Linux in our company and “is it RT-capable” is always the first question.
We work with G45.

Comment on Experiment with Yocto by Christian Charreyre

Christian Charreyre — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 07:31:36 +0000

I’ve worked for a long time with Angstrom. Angstrom is based on Openembedded like Poky, Poky mainly targets Intel’s hardware where Angstrom mainly targets ARM platforms.

Like Poky, Angstrom is now using the concept of layers and BSP. This new organization of package build recipes are more structured than a few years ago, but in my opinion it is much more difficult to see what packages are available than with the old flat organization of recipes. At that time all packages recipes where in the same directory, so it was easy to look at what was available, and so to use it in a rich distribution.

Another point regarding Poky and current Angstrom vs older Angstrom, it seems that with the layers restructuration, there are much less recipes that before. I think that it was a choice to only select very well validated packages, but it is quite frustrating to loose packages that were available sooner.
