Hi

I am new to Linux development, i want to transfer cross compiled object code from my Ubuntu to Beagle board .
Currently i am doing this by transferring to SD card and boot. But it is a time consuming task.
I tried to install lrzsz with lrzsz-dev_0.12.20-r4.5_armv7a.ipk by opkg install lrzsz-dev_0.12.20-r4.5_armv7a.ipk* . But it shows error invalid architecture .

i downloaded lrzsz source code and cross compiled with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc but output is not an ipk file

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Connect your machine and the BeagleBone via ethernet, then ssh/scp to the beaglebone. I do not know the specific configuration details of your beaglebone or your ubuntu, but avahi and auto-ip should make it easy to find your beaglebone on the ethernet network.

In the past I was able to install lrzsz using the command “opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2011.03/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/lrzsz_0.12.20-r4.5_armv7a.ipk” but evidently the version has changed and it’s no longer available at that location.

I’m finding it annoying because http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=lrzsz only lists an older version for the armv5te platform and if I attempt to install that version I get another error…

root@beaglebone:~# opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv5te/base/lrzsz_0.12.20-r3_armv5te.ipk

Unknown package ‘lrzsz’.
Collected errors:

  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package lrzsz.

I cant use ethernet. lrzsz-dev_0.12.20-r4.5_armv7a.ipk works fine with ezsdk 5.XX version and not with ezsdk 6.0 . Is there any option to compile lrzsz to a package that conform my architecture

Problem solved!

I downloaded lrzsz from http://ohse.de/uwe/releases/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz

extracted and cross compiled with CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux

Transferred lrz and lsz files to board created symbolic links rz to lrz and sz to lsz

Now can send files by Ctrl A Z via minicom.
