Irfan Sadiq

H M Irfan Sadiq was a Linux enthusiast as a graduate student. He started his career as an embedded system development engineer and has been working as an H.264 Decoder developer and optimizer for the VLIW architecture. He got an opportunity to work on multiple multimedia frameworks that are open source as well as proprietary. He tried to work in a start-up in the entirely different domain of web development. He has been working on OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project technologies since he joined Mentor Graphics as the technical lead back in 2010. He has been working on derivative technologies of Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded for quite some time now, spanning more than 4 years. He has also been working on various hardware platforms based on the ARM, PPC, and x86 architecture. The diverse nature of subsequent BSPs has challenges in the context of QA. One of the challenges was to keep the QA packages in one place in such a way that they could be applied to all different product/platform combinations. He addressed this by creating a Yocto Project-based layer for which he is a maintainer as well as a gatekeeper.

Managing in packagegroups

I have broken up all of the artifacts into the following three package groups:

  • packagegroup-yb-develop.bb

  • packagegroup-yb-hotspot.bb

  • packagegroup-yb-surveillance.bb

We can use all these package groups simultaneously by adding all of them in the core-image-sato.bbappend file as follows:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-yb-hotspot"
  packagegroup-yb-develop \
  packagegroup-yb-surveillance \
  "

We may face issues if the single kernel is not working after all. I haven't tried, but I am hopeful that the camera will work for both the kernels in the same way. So, we can use 3.12.30 for both Chapter 7, Turning BeagleBone to Home Surveillance System, and this chapter. Give it a try!

Let's take a look at the procedure to connect with an Android mobile phone. We'll look at connecting with client devices by following these steps:

  1. Boot your BBB board.

  2. Ensure that the Wi-Fi dongle is enabled by this command:

    ifconfig -a

  3. It should show wlan0 up.

  4. Search for the BBB access point...
