They release a full image that one
can write to the SD card that goes
into the RPi2 and everything is
configured, with even the source
code in the image that fits that
particular distribution. <br>
However, they seem to have chosen
to not include any windowing
environment, only text terminals.
"Startx" is non-existent. When I
try to install lightdm, it fails
miserably. So, running Qt on the
RPi2 is a non-starter. Btw, the
environment is Debian Wheezy. The
ADS-B software starts up when the
image boots, so it's really easy
for people who don't know what an
operating system is. (However,
they don't teach people how and
why to do an orderly shutdown so I
suspect the file system will
become corrupt over time,
especially since they have several
log files going all the time.)<span><br>

Welcome aboard,
Susan! <br>
I've done some Qt
projects but
followed recipes
from books. That
does me no good at
the moment where I'm
trying to figure
out:<br>
1. cross compile (or
even native compile
if I can find Qt 5.5
for RPi2, with
graphics.)<br>
2. where to find the
toolsets for
Beaglebone Black
(BBB) or RPi2.
Focusing on the Pi
at the moment. <br>
3. how to combine
multiple compilers
in one project
(yeah, the original
author did that!)
Several modules are
in the "go"
language, which I
had never heard of.
The other modules
seem to be regular
c/c++. However,
during the build
process, several
files are pulled
from git DURING
compile time! That
blows my mind and is
brand new to me.<br>
4. and so on.<br>
<br>
Their code (which is
working mostly) is
what I'm trying to
fork; and change
their IMU (9 DOF)
sensor to a
different one. They
like the MPU6050 and
while I have one, it
appears to not be as
stable or as
accurate as the
BNO055.
Additionally, they
use a GPS (built
onto their IMU board
using I2C) and I
would like to use a
different (higher
resolution) GPS that
uses serial.<br>
This is the
"stratux" project,
hosted on reddit
(grrrrrr) and
github. They are
cool with me using
different sensors.
If you're
interested, search
on "stratux" and
"ads-b."<br>
<br>
My development
desktop is running
Ubuntu but I'm
having trouble
updating some things
as apparently the
package manager is
broken and I can't
seem to fix it.
Most "apt-get"
commands work ok but
I'd rather stay in a
windowing
environment for
routine stuff like
that.<br>
<br>
Oh, for the days of
SGI IRIX Development
System...<span><font color="#888888"><br>
