LinuxA2

This is the latest release of the Linux port of the ETH A2 system (also called Bluebottle or Aos).

Installation:

1. Unpack the System

   as root: chmod +x install.UnixAos install.UnixAos LinuxA2[n].tar.gz

Building From Source:

The system sources are kept in a subversion repository at ETHZ which is mirrored at https://github.com/harrisonpartch/ethzoberonmirror

git clone https://github.com/harrisonpartch/ethzoberonmirror.git

Then create a working directory with three links into the local copy of the repository and start Aos in it:

mkdir linuxa2

cd linuxa2

mkdir NewAos

ln -s ../ethzoberonmirror/source source

ln -s ../ethzoberonmirror/UnixAos Unix

ln -s Unix/buildtools Tools

aos

Docu:UnixAos Build (follow the instructions. After compiling the modules, go to the linux command line in the same directory: mv *Obj NewAos/ . Then link (step 2 in the instructions). Now a new aos has been compiled from source. "aos" in NewAos/ will run it. "cp LinuxAosCore *.Obj /usr/aos/obj/" will install it. Yes, the part about moving the object files before linking should not be necessary and will be changed soon; probably these instructions will not be revised at the same time, leading to confusion. C'est la vie.)
