Does this cause various other libraries to need updating as well We believe the old version of net-snmp (5...

17 Replies and 3053 Views Mainstream DM37x Linux  3053  17 Started by  Adam Ford A beta BSP has been released for the DM3730 / AM3703 Torpedo and Torpedo Wireless products with mainstream Linux 4.4.x kernel.   This BSP has not been fully tested, not all features on the baseboard are enabled, but it can provide a nice starting point for users wishing to have a newer kernel and libraries.  This BSP uses vanilla kernel with a device tree for the Torpedo Wireless which can be modified to support the non-wireless Torpedo.  Kernel 4.4 was selected because of its l...

A fix was later introduced, and a request has been made to back-port this driver.

From there, you'll need to copy the NVS file from the 3.0.x kernel BSP. The stock BSP has 3 NVS files.  That driver have been modified to identify the chip type and load the corresponding driver.  Since the mainline kernel does not have this feature, you'll have to manually copy the nvs file.   By ...

3 Replies and 1415 Views readwrite access to NTFS formatted SD card  1415  3 Started by  Rob Birkner Hello, I'm trying to set up our Torpedo so that we can create large files (>2GB) on an SD card formatted so that it can be read later on windows systems.  It seems that a volume formatted as NTFS or exFat is needed to support that seamlessly.  It looks like the BSP supports NTFS, but not exFat. I've configured ltib to include the NTFS and NTFS rw driver(s) and formatted the SD card partition as NTFS, and can mount the partition so that it appears to be readwrite, but I still can't w...
