installing hexabus on an RaspberryPi running Debian wheezy (Raspbian)
initial setup
use raspi-config to:
- expand root partition to fill card
- set the amount of ram for the gpu to 16 MB
update the system:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade reboot
install development tools
apt-get install git cmake g++ libsqlite3-dev (this will pull cmake-data emacsen-common git-man libcurl3-gnutls liberror-perl libxmlrpc-core-c3 rsync)
install Boost
apt-get install libboost1.49-dev libboost-chrono1.49-dev libboost-chrono1.49.0 libboost-date-time1.49-dev libboost-date-time1.49.0 libboost-filesystem1.49-dev libboost-filesystem1.49.0 libboost-system1.49.0 libboost-system1.49-dev libboost-program-options1.49-dev libboost-program-options1.49.0 libboost-serialization1.49.0 libboost-serialization1.49-dev libboost-test1.49-dev libboost-test1.49.0 libboost-thread-dev libboost-thread1.49-dev libboost-thread1.49.0
warning
compiling hexabus on a RaspberryPi is actually possible. During the process you do need a considerable amount of RAM - virtual memory is ok. As our beloved RPi only comes along with 256 / 512 MB and you need to provide enough RAM for the peak of some 1000 MB, you should have 1 GB of swap space available. You can do so by simply inserting a usb memory stick into the RPi, create a swap partition, format and activate it:
cfdisk /dev/<your device name here> #remark: make sure you have the correct one here! delete the existing partition (...you are going to loose all data on the stick in this step...) create a new partition with at least 1 GB of space set the partition type to "82" write the results to the stick and quit cfdisk mkswap /dev/<your device name here> (e.g.: "mkswap /dev/sda1")
