Cloner (part of Mect Suite SDK)

Application for copying and installing the system software from/to the MECT panels.The cloner manages all the software parts: Kernel, RootFS and local applications.

You build the cloner package from the developer's Linux PC also used for imx_mect (LTIB).

The build steps are:

  • rebuild by ltib the qt-everywhere package with the "-static" gcc option into the spec file;
  • run the following commands:
    • export VERSION="xx"
    • /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-qvfb-version/bin/qmake -spec /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-qvfb-version/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++
    • make
    • ./make_sysupdate.sh

The output is the "sysupdate_cloner.sh" "uuencoded" script.

You need to copy the script to an empty USB pendrive and then boot the panel with the USB pendrive inserted: the cloner shall start instead of the panel applications (details into the pdf manual).
