Ensure all libraries in Section 1.1 are installed.
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for setting up the , specifically focusing on the popular SSD201/SSD202 platforms commonly used for smart displays, industrial gateways, and IoT devices.
Now that your system is primed, it's time to obtain the SDK itself. It's crucial to understand that as open-source projects often are. Access is commonly granted through:
of free space for storing code, SDK, toolchain, and compiling output. + recommended for faster compilation. 2. Install Required Dependencies
SigmaStar scripts often require bash . If your system uses dash as the default /bin/sh (common in Ubuntu), reconfigure it: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash # Select "No" Use code with caution. 3. Installing the Toolchain
After installing Ubuntu, open a terminal to perform initial setup: sudo passwd root Use code with caution. Add a new user (avoid using root for building): sudo adduser develop_user Use code with caution. 3. Installing Compilation Dependencies
If your SDK is delivered in split volumes (e.g., .tar.gz.001 , .tar.gz.002 ), combine and extract them: cat SDK_version.tar.gz.* | tar -f - -xz Use code with caution. For standard tarballs: tar -xvf sigmastar_sdk_release.tar.gz Use code with caution. 3. Installing the Cross-Compiler Toolchain
Copy ssd222_firmware.bin to a FAT32 SD card as auto_update.bin . Insert into the board and power on.
:Add the following to your ~/.bashrc to make the compiler accessible: export PATH=/opt/sigmastar/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard
Once the compilation is successful, you need to flash the image to the SigmaStar device. 4.1. Creating a USB Upgrade Image Use the following commands to create a USB upgrade package: cd image ./make_usb_upgrade_sigmaster.sh Use code with caution.
