Parallella Community

Hello,

An Ubuntu . To add the PPA to your system:

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/parallella/snapshots/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/parallella/snapshots/ubuntu trusty main

2. Add the signing key to your keychain

$sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 39A6ED25

3. Update APT

$sudo apt-get update

At this point the PPA only contains a packaged version of the , and this can be installed with:

$sudo apt-get install parallella-utils

You can then confirm what has been installed with "dpkg -L parallella-utils", and e.g. run xtemp to monitor the Zynq temperature.

When we have v0.1 of parallella-utils this will be added to the . The idea then being that if you just wanted the stable releases you can configure this PPA, but if you want the latest — and perhaps less stable — versions, you can also add the Snapshots PPA.

There are also plans to look at packaging other key software such as the SDK.

Feedback and suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

Andrew

Very nice!

Hi.

My ears pricked up when you talked about packaging the SDK! It took me minutes to get up and running with the Instant Contiki package, once it was downloaded and VM Ware Player (never used it before and impressed) installed.

It would be great if the SDK could be installed in a similar way, fully built, ready to use ASAP!

Currently trying to get the SDK onto the Instant Contiki setup.

Regards,

Paul
