Hi,
Im currently trying to install the SGX on my BeagleBoard with Ubuntu
9.10 OS on it.
Im using this step-by-step instructions : http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#SGX_Video_Acceleration
And im lost after just a few steps.
The steps i did so far:
1) Got the script file and run it over my PC
2) I ran this command again (On my PC) just to make sure : sudo depmod
-a omaplfb
3) Downloaded the SDK from TI and Open it to a local dir and i have it
on my thumb drive
My questions are:
1) The next steps of the sdk that written, are suppose to be execute
on the BB or on my PC?
2) The Startup script does have a name ? or its just boot.scr ?
3) These three commands : sudo nano /etc/init.d/pvr
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/
pvr
sudo update-rc.d pvr
defaults
need to be run from the BB or my PC?

On the beagle...
2) The Startup script does have a name ? or its just boot.scr ?
Karmic:
copy the big #!/bin/sh block to: /etc/init.d/pvr
(it's easier to do thru ssh, or mount your sd card on an x86 and use gedit..)
3) These three commands : sudo nano /etc/init.d/pvr
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/
pvr
sudo update-rc.d pvr

All the steps are to be run natively on the beagleboard. The SDK is
the only limitation as it's a x86 binary so that has to be run on a
regular pc.. (just run it to extract it then tar it up.)
Regards,
Thank you for the big help!
By the way one more thing,
Do i have to Upgrade U-Boot ? (i mean the step before the SGX at the
website i mentioned before)
OH... sorry ... one more thing...
When you said : "All the steps are to be run natively on the
beagleboard" ,
You meant that i need to run the script file "install-me.sh" on my BB
and not as i did (on my PC)?
It depends, there are old/broken versions out there... The version
listed is the first (in a while) to support boot.scr scripts so it's
very nice for the end user...
Regards,
Ah, definitely run that on the beagle. I'm surprised it didn't error
out massively since the armel deb would complain about x86 arch...
Regards,
Thank you very much for the help!
I installed everything ...
but i got the feeling it didnt effect anything.
1) Is there any demo application i can run in able check it?
Run the Demo's in the SDK directory. It's opengl-es only, so you
won't see any improvements in most of the opengl application in
ubuntu's repo...
