How to patch the SDK with foXServe patch

BEFORE START:
Now is possible to join the foXServe system to ACME SYSTEMS SDK!

This tutorial will guide you in the process of installing foXServe under your SDK, so that you can create your own firmware foXServe based.

In this way you can create YOUR OWN CUSTOM fimage foXServe based. Obviously the uptodate feature is not present or you will lost your custom kernel on upgrade.

With this patch you can add new features to foXServe that are not yet implemented in the standard release as for example OWFS, bluetooth, but already available under the main SDK tree.

First of all you need to install a fresh SDK following the guide at: http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=714

Update your SDK to the last release (release 238 at the time this tutorial was written) http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=701

cd /PATH_TO_DEVBOARD/devboard-R2_01/
./sdk_update
                     ########### WARNING ###########
An update will revert the settings of the sdk to the defaults that we provide.
If you have made any changes, that you do not want to loose, make sure to create a backup

Now launch ./configure and then make to create the default fimage

# ./configure
### Selected product: "fox" ###
 * Using previously fetched packages... done
 * Using compiler "/usr/local/cris/bin/cris-axis-linux-gnu-gcc" (revision "R63").
 * Using previously fetched packages... done
 * Generating "Makefile"... done
Creating init_env... ETC...

# ./make
...

Download the patch from here and untar it where do you prefer


cd /home/kanta (/home/kanta is my path to the patch, replace it with your own) 
tar xzvf xspatch.tar.gz


Now you need to patch the the SDK, substitute .config and kernelconfig-2.6 files with the files provided by the patch.

cp .config .config_orig
cp kernelconfig-2.6 kernelconfig-2.6_orig
cp /PATH_TO_THE_PATCH/.config .
cp /PATH_TO_THE_PATCH/kernelconfig-2.6 .

Launch ./configure so that the SDK will be reconfigured with the new parameters

# ./configure
### Selected product: "fox" ###
 * Using previously fetched packages... done
 * Using compiler "/usr/local/cris/bin/cris-axis-linux-gnu-gcc" (revision "R63").
 * Using previously fetched packages... done
 * Generating "Makefile"... done
Creating init_env... ETC...

Copy appfoxserve.tar.gz under your devboard base path and untar it, a new application folder named foxserve should appear under devboard-R2_01/apps

cp /PATH_TO_THE_PATCH/appfoxserve.tar.gz .
tar xzvf appfoxserve.tar.gz

Now we have to substitute the main Makefile under the devboard base dir with the one you have inside the patch 

cp Makefile Makefile.orig
cp /PATH_TO_THE_PATCH/Makefile .

Is now time to build your foXServe based firmware, launch make

make

Your new foXServe custom firmware is ready, you can flash your fox LX 832 and point your web browser to http://192.168.0.96 to look at foXServe default pages.




THANK YOU TO ROBERTO ASQUINI FOR THE MAKEFILE AND TESTS INSIDE THE SDK
