MATRIX VISION mvBlueLYNX IPK Feed

October 2006 / hg

This directory contains all the packages for the mvBlueLYNX-2xx, -4xx, 6xx and -M5xx series cameras.

***************************************************************


In general you should always update all the packages from the "base" section at the same time and you
should have all the packages from the section "systool" installed as well. Here is a list
of essential packages and their sections:

Section				Name
=======				====
base				safeboot
base				kernel20 or kernel25 or kernel-mvblm
base				ppc-ipk
base				allocator
base				mvs
base				i2c-82xx
base				mvfb
base				mvslib

systool				mvstest
systool				mvserver
systool				mvs-tools


The following packages are optional but are usually installed on the mvBlueLYNX.

Section				Name
=======				====
systool				chkser
systool				startmv
systool				mvsrspd
systool				mvconfig
systool				pkipkinst
systool				pgboard
picogui				picogui

All other packages are optional and may be installed or updated if you wish.


It is possible to update your mvBlueLYNX by copying individual files and explicitly
updating each one. Alternatively you may use a beta feed which we have setup for this
purpose on our website. It contains beta versions of all the current IPK packages
for the mvBLueLYNX -2xx, -4xx, -6xx and mvBlueLYNX-M5xx models.

WARNING:
These files are BETA VERSIONS and may not have been tested as thoroughly as the RELEASE VERSIONS.

To use the beta feed directly please alter the file "/etc/ipkg.conf" on the mvBlueLYNX
to look like the example below.

Example "/etc/ipkg.conf" file: 
=====================================================================
src betafeed http://beta.matrix-vision.com/mvbl-feed

dest root /

# Proxy support (optional):
# Replace with your proxy URLs and user/password if needed
# 
option http_proxy http://proxy.intern.matrix-vision.de:3128/
option ftp_proxy http://proxy.intern.matrix-vision.de:3128/
option proxy_username xxxx
option proxy_password xxxx

option no_proxy "titan triton europa rhea oberon 192.168.2.2"
=====================================================================

To use this beta feed from behind a firewall or proxy you will need to install the "wget"
package (download it and install it by hand) and alter the configuration
file "/etc/ipkg.conf" to include proxy information. 

Assuming you have altered "/etc/ipkg.conf" appropriately and you have Internet access
from your mvBlueLYNX, just issue the following commands:

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade

This will upgrade all installed packages to the latest beta status.

You can list the packages available on the feed with:

ipkg update
ipkg list
 
You can list the installed packages with:

ipkg status

You can install new packages with:

ipkg update
ipkg install <package_name>

e.g.

ipkg install mvconfig

You may also download this entire directory including the file "Packages" and
install it on a local webserver or FTP server. Alter your "/etc/ipkg.conf" file
to point to the local URL (the " src" directive) for this directory and then you
may install or upgrade within an internal network whenever you wish.
